They laughed and went back to playing with their Cell Phones.

The first time I looked at the link, I didn't scroll down. Then when I went back to look at the Q & A...
Holy crap Batman!

Re: Buy Dad some tools for his day...
That was one hell of a deal.The Snap-on/Maco stuff,not sure what is about the way they make them,but they are more comfortable to use and are made to be in your hands 10 hr days.Everything just fits better too.

Re: Buy Dad some tools for his day...
I do like the feel of Snap-On tools, but as a backyard wrench, could never even begin to justify the cost. Given the prices I've seen for Snap-On tools, I agree that is probably a bargain.

Re: Buy Dad some tools for his day...
Totally agree with you Matt on the costs.The thing is with craigslist I am not so proud that when a tool comes up for sale I would not buy it because of a mix of tools in my tool box.Right now I have a guy from craigslist trying to sell me a sand blast cabinet/vac for $299 telling me new it is a $4,000 unit new and to get it working again would only cost $100.When I read that,very first thought that came into my mind is who the hell would have that in their home shop to begin with.I offered him $150 and have haft a mind to email him back saying it's new value doesn't really matter.
