I’m starting to honestly think some of the guys here buy tools they don’t really need even when they got 8 wrench sets already they go out and buy a 9th

uhhhh.... yeah.... I don't see a problem there.
You need a set for the shop. And a set for the truck. And a set for the car. And a set in the house. And another set in the basement so you don't have to go up and down stairs for tools. Probably be a good idea to keep a set in the attic too.

Was at @ Lowes this evening @LanceMc …and thought of you. I was damn close to buying this.

Why the hell don’t these ever go on sale?! Even 10-15% would have made me go for it. I also found a guy on FBM selling one about an hour away but he is asking damn near retail, but it’s never been used.

Hmmm.

Ok , and this suggestion isn't for everybody. If you have credit card debt/issues this isn't for you. Companies like Wells Fargo, Chase, BoA , and many others offer welcome bonuses on new credit cards. I have an 825 credit score and do not carry balances over, things are paid off monthly. So anytime I'm about to make a 1 time ,larger purchase I go get a new credit card, with no annual fee, most no interest for 12-18 months(not a factor if paid in full) and I get a $200 bonus on as little as a $500 purchase. Nerdwallet is good site to look at CC offers.

You enabling, SON of a *****! :ROFLMAO: This is good advice if you can control your spending habits, so thank you. (y)

These days, I only spend money on tools with money I've made doing side jobs outside of work. I'm frankly amazed at how much work there is out there by just word of mouth. I just did a timing chain/tensioner job on a GTI and the friend of a friend gave me an extra $500 (after she bought the parts) because the IRF she took it to wanted 3x what I charged...and I used OEM parts and charged her $75 an hour. Crazy.

The big'n'!
They are nice boxes, no doubt. I got the military discount so that helped. I'm sure they will be discounted whenever they are discontinued. The guy at Lowe's told ne they don't show 'discontinued' yet so you 'll have to wait for some type of sale. I'm looking to score the 63' roller floor model for a song. Not sure it'll happen though.
