    Couple new things with more stuff on its way. Being a new tech means buying a lot of new tools. I am so very thankful that student discounts are available.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Confession time. Who uses a scewdriver to pry sockets off their Snap-ON ratchet?

    My box at work, it's kind of an unorganized mess right now. Gotta do something about that when I get the time.

    Got these from Toolup today. Couldn't resist the discount on them. Got these last week. Wanted to use the SEP discount as much as I could while I had it.
