Prepare for a long story.
I work for a fleet maintenance company with 5 techs, and I'm the office manager in the back who wrenches on stuff when he can. Up until a few months ago, we only had a Snap-On guy coming by the shop, but then one of the guys literally chased down a Mac truck, and that's when we met our new Mac guy.
He was cool, and had good prices, so I picked up the occasional part from him. Got a rolling tool cart that I love, a set of Mac Edge sockets which took off bolts like nothing else, and a few other things here and there.
I'm not a "mac guy" or anything, I buy my tools from whoever has the best products. I like Snappy ratchets, but their carts ****. I prefer Mac sockets, but mainly for the price. I buy from whoever gets me the highest quality part for the best price.
Well he had problems with his truck, Mac wasn't helping him, and finally he gave up. We hadn't seen him for a few weeks until yesterday.
Our Mac guy pulls up in a Tundra with buckets of tools. Bags, tupperware bins, even a trash can.
"50% off EVERYTHING!"
Holy **** you should've seen the shop clear out. For $350 I got a reversible die grinder, a stubby pivoting 3/8 ratchet, 3/8 air ratchet with quiet drive, a sae set of reversible ratcheting mac edge wrenches, and the big score, a multimeter for $90! Even better, I'm going to his house today to buy out his socket collection.
Funny thing was I knew the fiancee wouldn't be too happy, so I called her cell, no answer. Called the office, left a message.
"Ok honey, opportunities like this come once in a lifetime. I'm gonna spend some money on tools, I'm sorry, but I think Jesus has risen today, and his name is Ronny the Mac guy."
She called back, she was worried about me buying a box, so she was ecstatic to hear it was just $350.
Wait until tonite.
