I think you need to work on your grammar and literacy skills as its very hard to decipher what your saying but it sounds like you think you got a good deal by paying 85 bucks for the same set I paid 60 for last year. either way its a great set and I use mine daily.

in our shop we have a sweeper upper. but I hate dusty floors and tools everywhere all though I have been known to work late and leave a mess until the next morning because it got late. in the last shop I worked the guy next to me would clean his area by simply blowing the dust out the way and...
