Ferrets are bolted together? Like Frankenstein's monster, maybe? Gee, and they're so cute.

I once had one sit perfectly still watching me type for ten minutes, then suddenly jump onto the keyboard and start hopping up and down like a crazed lunetic, then went back to where she was before and sat still to watch me again like nothing happened...(I guess I was supposed to be sharing..)

I didn't know there were wrenches with the Ferret stuff? Always thought it was just the socket/ratchet tools...huh

rusty, the part numbers on the hammerheads are F-xxxx, so they are considered ferret tools. i'm just assuming here but i'd guess it's because the business ends are actually sockets.
