Recent tool purchases.

I should stay away but there are several salvage stores around me that have stuff cheap . I know I didn't need another 1/2 Proto impact swivel but . I did have and need to carry a little note book listing what I could use .

Sometimes you see things so cheap you just have to buy them.

You know when you have a lot or maybe to much when, I was thinking about buying a metric tap and die set yesterday in the shop I saw a box on top of a cabinet . It was a new never had anything used in it metric tap and die set.

Mayhew is good stuff. Can't go wrong at that price.

I thought a few times about buying more of this good deals and trying to resale them at a profit. But I have too many things going on and I don't know if there would be enough profit to make it worth doing ?

Legdoc said: That Cat screwdriver sure looks a lot like a Snap-On. I'd take that back. I don't think the new snappy tools are as good as they were when I started in the late 70's. The new sockets are difficult to read the size on. I have a new 3/8" 6 point socket that broke the first time I used it and a new 1/2" wiggler extension that broke at the base if the wiggler the first time I used it also. A new pair of flush cut pliers were ground out of shape and worthless. This crap did not happen back in a previous life when I wrenched full time. Sign of the times I guess. You wouldn't believe how screwed up things are in the medical field. Don't get sick my friends... Click to expand... The cat tools are made by Snapon for Caterpillar .

I have a scrap trailer at one of the surplus stores . I went out to see if it was getting full. A lot of times they have good deals I don't really need anything but its hard to pass up some times.
