Well, it's been a long time since I earned a "you ****!" so here it goes....

Found these brand new Proto USA adjustables in 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 18 inches for a cool $90.

The back story is that this guy bids on the contents of delinquent storage units and hit a home run (which he says had never before happened). In the storage unit were a couple of cases of bulk tools including numbers of these wrenches. These are among the last of the lot he had. He had been selling them for a lot more over the last year but was burned out on "running around meeting people at Lowe's and selling tools." Said it's been more of a hassle than it's worth.

Thankfully, he met me at Lowe's and sold me his last set!

You did get a great price that’s probably “you ****” worthy, but you know as an OP, you can’t even allude to getting a “you ****” deal. Sorry, but it’s a clear violation of the “you ****” rules.

Very nice!! You can hardly buy the 18" at that price. You ****! :)

You might have to retract the “you ****” based on the OP’s violation of the rules.

You ****, It is basic knowledge though that without a matching set of metric adjustable wrenches SAE adjustable wrenches are useless. If you want you can send them to me for proper disposal.

And an FYI those are made by Western Forge for Proto. I think they are the last USA made adjustable wrench game in town.

Yeah, I kinda cheated on that one....I had previously put a feeler out there with regard to "is this a good deal?" I knew it was going to be good when I pulled the trigger...
