    Wasted money on tools

    I watched the video, as well as a few others that he did. Like most of you I agree to some of the stuff he says but not all, and his tool box blows my mind the way he has it set up. Thats for a different thread though. As for the money wasted on tool, buy what you need after you have what you...

I like to grab a rail and go to a machine if I need to and I cant always roll my cart with me. And when I'm sent on the road its easier to throw them in...
