that guy will be paying $`150 bucks a week for the rest of his life for that chest full of tools
Does Snap-On make a cute step ladder to get tools out of the top drawers? I am 6-2 (used to be anyway) and I cannot see into the top of some of those boxes!!
Not exactly a ladder, but they do make a step stool. It even doubles as a seat and has internal storage! Totally worth it.
That's a conservative estimate.Quote:

At the same time it also consumes a lot of tools especially when working with others around who may only be there for a single day or two. I don't even have an estimate on how much I spent on the welding supply and the machinist supply guys that kept me going probably double the amount I spent on the tool trucks. The only good thing was I never owed any of them a single dime on credit. didn't use it still don't I don't even have a credit card.Quote:

Some folks need to be reminded to check their pockets before their uniforms go to the laundry. Not that I ever complained! And all the rest came from surplus and salvage sales.Quote:

All from the remote recesses of various heavy equipment over the years. Except for the gasket scraper, found it in the middle of the road.
