Count me in!

Very nice offer--I'd love to check them out. You can never have too many tools.

I think some tie dye looking hammers would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind owning a set of those.

Re: Side of the road tool finds When I was a kid I found a very large pair of channel locks on the side of the street (my dad still has them almost 40 years later). Not really a tool but a couple of months ago I found a 10' or so piece of orange fire suppression pipe in front of my house...

I'm not familiar with those particular compressors but if you plan to use a cut-off tool you should plan to go with the 60 gallon tank...cut-off tools go through a lot more air then you would imagine.

I have found that the best way to search this site and many other forums is the "google advanced search". It seems that most forums don't have very robust search mechanisms of their own.
