Here, here!

But that company doesn’t even want you as a customer, I’m told.

Doubling down. I like it.

And that, friends, is how you build a loyal customer base.

I had a Clausing 8530, it was a beautiful machine. After having it for a while, I discovered that it was truly the worst of both worlds. It took up nearly as much room as a Bridgeport, while being too small to do any real sort of work. It sold for more than I paid for it, and honestly more than...

I keep seeing references to having to pry sockets off of Snap On ratchets. I have never experienced this...not once, from 1/4 to 1/2 drive. Sockets go on and off without issue, but never come off unless I want them to. My sockets are comprised of Snap On, Williams USA, GearWrench, and a few...

I got a paper cut one time….guess I should go paperless.

Everybody's different for sure...but there are so many scenarios where an adjustable is as handy as pocket on a shirt.

I think somewhere between “none” and “all of them” is likely the right amount.

The idea that folks here, who typically have very well equipped boxes, have one or two…or even zero…adjustable wrenches is wild. I have a drawer that it nothing but adjustable and pipe wrenches. I have adjustables in every road and portable box. My main box has two adjustables each in sizes...

That would be cool if they weren’t in Canada. I was excited.
