I usually meet my guy on Thursday's or Fridays after I get off work at 4. At around 3:30 i just kinda sit there and watch the clock until I can go and get my fix. It starts even earlier if I know he's got something on the truck that I've ordered!! Yeah....I have issues....

I get so excited i usually forget half of the things i was going to ask for.
i bought the punch and chisel set on promo.. got a couple of my gear wrench replacements that i broke, bought the hh screwdriver set (i have no idea wtf im gonna do with.. just bought the yellow instincs a couple months ago) and the 1/4 drive and 3/8 extension sets (got another micro box im selling) and now i just called him cause i couldnt possible wait till next week and told him to hold the semi deep 3/8 6 point socket set (which will make 3 micro boxes).. the worst is now im wondering if i should call him back and order the wrench set which will get me a 4th micro box LMFAO .. decisions decisions....

I'm like this too. Not so much since my bill is extremely high now but yeah I like him and the day when I get to see him.
I'm looking forward to getting my euro update on my Solus Ultra this week.

This was the punch set my SO man had today. I think it was $125? regular 195, kinda wishing I would have gotten them

I'm like that when I need something or when I have extra cash. Our SO guy usually comes early so I was there before the shop officially opened and waited in my car for an hour and a half. When I saw him pull up I jumped out of the car and couldn't wait to meet him.

Those are $99 with my dealer. I passed though cause soft grip *****.
my guy gave me the whole euro kit for 500 bucks when i bought my ultra.. also got the 300 gift cert. for his truck.. i gotta order up the obd1 kit though i didnt realize i was gonna need it as much as i really do..
i got the allen set like 3 weeks ago and now kinda want the torx set. i already have a couple bp torx but i think im gonna step up and get the kit.. my driver usually will sell the "specials" weeks after they end.

After having an ex brother in law who owned a Snap-On truck and Matco truck that my dad bankrolled in the late 70s, not so much.
I'm just pleased that I have the vast majority of the tools I need to do my job and most of those I'd just like to have for those rare jobs when a tool comes in handy.
Tools are tools to me, not toys. They are expendable and disposable. I don't really get all that excited when I lose something these days.
I do however, want a set of the red pint glasses

With the exception of gassing over (and buying) some new air tools recently (I finally got the compressor in my garage going), and then a wild hair to get a Snap On ratchet (God I hope I hate it so I don't buy more...), I generally don't get too excited over tools. I get more excited over buying and installing car parts. For me the tools are just a means to an end. I'd rather spend my money on the car parts instead of the tools, provided I've got enough stuff to allow me to do the job.

Might as well get over it now. The ratchets are one of the few things that I HAVE to have in Snap-On.
To be honest, I have a pretty wide range of ratchets, and although my early indication is that the Snap On is far superior, I really haven't found my others to be inadequate. For years I've used my 3/8 flex head offset handle Craftsman ratchet and it's never let me down. At about 2.5x the cost of that Craftsman, I think the Snap On was a fair purchase, but I can't justify it at the retail price.

Their great I use them for srs units and seat belts never had a bit of trouble so far. Even with my cordless impact they grip and dont twist. Well worth the 99 bucks IMO
