Ratchet condoms??? What... are you afraid taht a 3/8 and a 1/2 will get jiggy and have a little 1/4" together? :lol:

Edit: I see that this has already happened. You better get those ratchets off that dryer or you'll have a bigger problem on your hands! :lol:

A few snappy breakers and a early plomb breaker bar that I believe dates to 1927.

Looking at all these pics and the ones in the ratchet **** thread, I keep seeing more and more that I haven't run across yet - gonna have to find some more storage cabinets. :) Don't think there'll be any problem eventually reaching "one for each day of the year".:thumbup:

Great pics to drool over from all ya'll. :drool:

Storage is a big problem. I have buckets,totes,boxes heaped full, some I have not looked at in years. I would love to get it all organized but I doubt it.

Which are your favorites? Say, your wife came home early, saw the ratchets on her dryer, flew into a rage, and told you that you could only keep one of each drive size? Which three ratchets would you keep?

This could be the hardest question anybody has ever asked me. Lets see orange handle snap on 1/4". Fine tooth craftsman with the built in speeder and quick release in 3/8". For 1/2" long snap on. Or maybe I would keep, nah I can't answer this line of questioning.

The answer is simple all the ratchets stay,if she doesn't like it she knows where the door is!

That's funny, Wanted. When I originally wrote the post, I wrote it the way you 'corrected' it. Then I read it and saw what the obvious answer would be, so I went back and changed it to "which three ratchets".

Ah well, it didn't help, the correct answer was so obvious it came out anyway.

:lol_hitti

Man. I bet those things make a heck of racket when they are in there drying ??? do you use the delicate or perma-pressed cycle ... probably delicate on the 1/4 and perma-pressed on the bigger stuff, huh ??:lol_hitti

and personally I'd have displayed them on the bed...less chance of scratching my stuff that way.

The dryer to me is like another workbench, along with the chest freezer. I did hear about it once a while ago, but when she came home and found the freezer in the living room she left me alone. I let her have her candles and girly **** in the rest of the house with the understanding that the basement and garage are mine. She does get pissed when I leave lighters and strikers in my pockets that end up in the dryer.

I used to wash my oilly overalls at night, my beloved is a night nurse.
Then she had a little word with me...ouch.
I still wash them when she's out but I also run a whole cycle of just detergent through the washer afterwards now...

btw you all know that the dishwasher is great for cleaning engine parts don't you ?
(also when she's out)
