Makes sense now (y)

Gotcha

I see nothing wrong on buying a **** load of tools, because I do the same thing, but I wouldn't purchase them to collect them

I was at Lowe's the other day and overhead this one guy saying he collects tools. Is that even a thing? I personally buy tools to use them, not to purchase them then store them somewhere just to collect dust. IMHO tools are meant to be used. Coins, stamps, comic books, baseball cards, etc...

Thank you all for your replies

I have this really old Craftsman 1/4 nut driver that a dear friend gave me, but now it's completely round out and doesn't do anything now. I know I can simply purchase a new one, but it has sentimental value. Any ideas on how I can revive it again? Thanks

I like the look of these socket nut drivers, but I can't seem to find them in SAE. Anyone use these style nut drivers?

Makes sense my friend. I also buy tools made in Taiwan

What are some good Canadian made tool companies? I'm interested

Do you guys prefer buying tools made in U.S.A. or made in Germany? I buy U.S.A. to help support our workers, don't get me wrong I love Knipex, but I much rather buy Channellock, Matco, Snap On, etc

The Snap on 4 pc Adjustable Wrench Set is $500.00

So, I've never had any Bahco adjustable wrenches. I see they have some that have black phosphate finish and others with chrome finish. Which finish is higher in quality? and what is the difference?

Picked up a Challenger Made in USA PT2 Phillips head screwdriver from a local thrift shop for $2 the other day. Does anyone know what year these Challenger screwdrivers were made and up to what year?

Thank you for your reply. Will do research on these shops in my area.

Yes, will try local garage sales. Thank you
