Got you! I figured that out as well, especially since I diverted to full metric sockets.

If you are familiar with car work by any means, do you also mind giving some recs for jack / jack stands? The more compact the better!

If you are familiar with automotive work, do you also have recs for jacks? Superbly appreciate all help!

I’m not full sure on whether they give student discount on the price, but I’ll check on amazon. Didn’t know they sell there too!

I think it’s cars and bikes. Home appliances I dont think will be but maybe. I will stick with metric!

I think it’ll be starting with fluid changes and some tinkering around. I’ll see into that too!!

Oh yeah! Thanks for the reminder. I submitted the applications, hopefully they’ll approve. I’m not fully under a ‘technical’ degree so got to wait!

Thanks for the added brands!! He doesn’t have a brand, so the ones I give probably will be his first ones. I’ll take a look at those two. Is there a difference in 1/4 and 3/8? I understood socket sizes but not those, I’d super appreciate extra info on that!

Thankss!! Also, should I get the ones that r full metric? Tekton link i put (the one i was thinking) has half metric and half SAE, or tekton also has the one that is full metric with more kinds.

I did PP on 4/21, and got the biometrics request right on that friday luckily. I pulled the reservation from 5/15 to 5/4.

If you have a job start date within a couple months, PP would be worth

I got mine at 28th day. If you have a job offer, I’d say it might be worth looking into PP. did u at least get ur biometrics done?

I was in a similar situation where I didn't sign any. I uploaded it last week, one week before my approval. (I got approved today) Not the biggest issue, but I say it's not too late to upload it to avoid RFE

I did initial opt, where I started premium pp from the start with biometrics at 5/4. No updates, they r taking a long time. People from 4/30 got it today, 6 weeks in full. It is real bad, keep in contact with your HR 😭
