    Do they still sell soda in glass bottles with caps at the grocery stores? All I've ever seen in over ten years are plastic bottles with screw caps.

    Automotive clip pliers. Seem very well made for the price and beats having to use 2 screwdrivers to pry out a clip. https://www.ebay.com/itm/406993112761

    What's the difference between these two Craftsman wrenches that one is listed for nearly ten times as much as the other?

    Same for anything on paper. Baseball cards, autographs, comic books, etc. What are the chances they won't have turned to dust in 50 or a hundred years let alone 1,000 years. At least the tool will be around 1,000 years with minimal care.

    Found this one for $280 today. WTH? The switch style reverse lever in the first wrench is much better than the style in this one.

    I have the first one posted in another listing for over a week and only have 3 views and no watchers. $10 more but no personal markings. I stopped using it years ago since getting a Gearwrench. GW has a LOCKING flex head and there is no going back after using that function. The only negative...

    I seem to be at a point where I don't need any new tools for the first time I can recall.

    I already got a bunch of mag trays. I shoulda said, under $60, or at the moment. I could use a newer scan tool, fuel line fab kit, digital torque wrenches, etc. but I just need to add another $60 to the order. Those other things aren't urgent.

    Not that they have or that isn't cheaper from other sources.

    I seem to be at a point where I don't need any new tools for the first time I can recall.

    I need to place an order for some supplies at JB Tool, about $40 worth, but my cheap self won't let me until I get the total up to $99 for the free shipping. I haven't seen anything I want to add for $60 that I don't already have or that I can really use or even want. Will look again tonight...

    Flex head socket wrenches...

    I don't think that could even be considered a socket wrench in the truest sense of the word. An actual ratcheting socket wrench would be much more useful and faster.

    Thinking about buying an AC recovery machine

    Not sure of machines, but you can get adaptors for your 134A gauges to service 1234yf systems. https://www.testequipmentdepot.com/mastercool-63736-k-economy-r134ar1234yf-conversion-kit.html

    Thinking about buying an AC recovery machine

    And you can't do that with the compressor on the car?

    Thinking about buying an AC recovery machine

    I've got a nice collection of a/c equipment, Yellow Jacket vac pump and gauge set with adaptors for R1234, TIF scale, Mastercool sniffer and valve core tool kit to name a few. I never considered getting a recovery machine for the 2 or 3 times a year I need to work on a system and how relatively...
