Rescue Rogers

I bought a nice new timing light , (even though I have 2 old ones) because neither had a built in tach or the adjustable advance which I desperately needed

I bought a new set of laser etched sockets and wrenches because it was easier to read them ( Im getting older)

I bought a new Mighty vac to help with bleeding the brakes by myself

I bought a power bleeder because I felt that the mighty vac didnt do a quick enough or good enough job

I bought a new set of taps and dies because I HAD TO put a temp sender in my World Proucts sportsman II heads

New drill set for said tapping operation as well

and My favorite.......

I BOUGHT A QUICK JACK LIFT becasue I had to change my oil!!!
Its obviously good for a few other things too

I also need some other tools next week I believe

The13Bats

Buy the tool to save the labour costs at the garage and, take the significant other out to dinner.

"It was an estate sale"

"its was one of the made in USA years"


As the saying goes,......Just hope if I die first, my wife doesn't sell my tools for what i said i paid for them....

Mr D.

I'm a tool ***** so I don't need a excuse.

Metalhead140

Why need an excuse?

engineerd

This is the most motivating thread i have read all week!

CA-Legal-Vette

Never heard that one. Thank God she pays no attention to what I say I paid for them.

crawfish333

I just buy it and ask my wife to subtract the amount from our checking account. She does not complain or ask me why I needed it and I never question her spendng habits.

I have a one string of 1/2 Metrics with these and I think I'm going to replace all my sockets with them. Soo much easier to see.

Beyond that I buy tools as needed. The Quicklift was a got to have it.

emccomas

I tell me wife, and continue to remind her, that I do not take on any new "honey-do" tasks unless it involves buying a new tool.

She hasn't asked me yet if the new tool is necessary to accomplish the "honey-do" task.

I have this in the works BEFORE I say it's on sale;

"I am waiting to do 'that job' until the tool is on sale, don't want to waste money."

Still waiting for the U-joint tool to come on sale.
Still waiting for the 3.73 gears to come on sale.
etc.

When they do. I am in the clear.

See Three

Thick blue smoke coming out of angle grinder while polishing last night....stopping on the way home to pick up a new one. Usually the reason I buy tools is that it's cheaper than paying someone else to do it. However, I have stopped buying any tools associated with laying patio stones.

I need it. I have a coupon ....

kanvasman

I just got a deal for a used tool box on craigs list. Saved over $200 vs a new one. Now I have all those empty drawers....And I also get text msgs with coupons from Harbor Frt.
