... Aircraft Tool Supply & Autobodytoolmart. I mentioned this one FaceBook & another aircraft guy I know said he'd just thrown out a YardStore catalog. I accused him of heresy. He said "but I already have everything worth having"

I replied that is like stopping looking at **** because you got fucked senseless one time...:evil:

Edit: He just replied "point taken, I'll fish it out of the bin"

Yep, those who think they have enough tools just aren't working on enough different types of vehicles.

I need to get some catalogs to read in the "office" (bathroom). I brought a Northern Tool catalog home a few months ago but the wife threw it out.

I was surprised when I got into firearms many years ago & discovered there was another whole world of tools that I couldn't live without....Now I have another toolbox dedicated to firearm tools...

When my wife sees me looking at tools she says, don't you have enough tools. To which I reply, yeah but I don't have one of these.

Just got a TOHNICHI torque wrench catalog sent to my work today. It's a Japanese torque wrench catalog. Good deals to be had on EvilBAY. The sellers are all big industry.

Can never have to much. The weekend just gone I was lucky enough to receive a decent tax return, which $1000 of it went straight back into tools. There is not a fortnight that goes by which I don't pick something up.

That being said, I will never put myself into debt in order to buy tools. I have been building my collection from the day I started my apprenticeship, rather then buying it all on the first day.

Don't ask.
I toss every catalog I get, occasionally I'll flip through one on the way to the trash.
I can remember having stacks of catalogs piled up around the house.

I have a bad problem with that. I have shoe boxes filled with old magazines. Stacks on my floor. Hell, this is just the stack in my desk drawer at work. What a waste of drawer space. All diesel tech, diesel world and diesel power magazines.

Aircraft Spruce just released a new catalog. Got mine yesterday, and it's HUGE!

Free for the asking, just order from website.
