NUGE CONSTRUCTION
You need to return to AREA 51. the grassy knoll, or anywhere else conspiracy theories emulate from. Even though you exhibit proficient and cute internet and graphics abilities - you don't know **** about what you are implying about me, and frankly, I am a little pissed.
First off, my screen name is not (Fifty"Cal"Al) it is (FiftyCalAl). It is derived from the fact that I am an afficianado of .50 BMG and own a Barrett. I have no ties to California. I also have no ties to Chad's Toolbox other than the fact that I have given them about $2000 in my money in consideration of them shipping me the tools I ordered.
I posted that I used other tools, then was turned onto Klein, bought all the Klein stuff I could find, and then was turned onto Knipex and would probably sell all my Klein. This is not an uncommon practice among folks who start out out in a trade or hobby and appreciate having and using the best.
I buy tools from different manufactures, and these are my preferred ones after much research and usage;
Craftsman for incidentals and wrenches
Wera for drivers and zyklops
Snap on for ratcheting drivers and big screwdrivers
Knipex for pliers and wrenches
Veto tool bags
Klein tool pouches and belts
Others as needed
I buy primarily from Sears, Chads, Jametsown Tools, and In the Hands of Professionals
I try to buy the best I can from the the most cost effective and customer oriented sellers. I joined this forum to learn primarily, and after much lurking, decided I could also help others from my experince and education. That is what this is all about.
I have never made a wholesale promotion of any dealer that detracts from any other dealer. If asked where I buy something from, I disclose. If a dealer has a certain deal going on, I disclose so others can take advantage. I have NO links with any dealer that affords me pecuniary gain or merchandise advantage. NONE of my posts show that tendency. I think your comments toward me are insulting and certainly without merit, much less an inkling of proof.
I think you should devote your time away from internet hounding of people that have done nothing wrong. Your implications of me are unwarranted and malicious, and I don't know why you picked on me.
I have never had any bad dealings with Chad's Toolbox. If he said he hates Kleins, so what? Chevy hates Fords. His comments may have been bold and abusive to other brands; maybe in poor business etiquette. It is up to the consumer to decide which product best suits their intended use and price range. I certainly am not 'taking up' for them, but do not understand your premise, nor do I wish to. Anything you say will be discounted by me, because I now know you to be a person that wants to promote themselves over anything else. Why else start this little game using me as a pawn. I asuure you, Sir, I am NO ONE's pawn, nor will I be.
You made silly assumptions about me without ANY merit. Genuine folks don't do that! I'd appreciate if you'd leave me the hell alone and quit trying to blemish my character. I have really enjoyed my time on this forum and have done nothing disengenuous. I have my opinions, but also respect others, and often ask for help from those that obviously know more than I.
I have a varied background. Let me disclose that for you. I am not a trade profesional, at least not in the general sense. I am an attorney that has worked in emergency services for the last 20 years. I am a licensed paramedic, a rescue trainer, a SWAT certified officer, and a coordinator for Bioterorrism Homeland Security interests. I also have a part time business training folks in firearms safety and tactical measures. I wear a lot of different hats, but have never been accused so blatantly, with so little proof, and just mere malice as you just did. I am not associated with ANY tool seller other than as a customer.
I have more important **** to do than research your posts on the internet. (at least for now...). I bet though, that you have a history of inciting discourse, planting seeds of conspiracy, making nountains of molehills, etc. My guess is that most folks here don't like that kind of BS because they are downhome, hardworking, good folks. You have shown the ilk you are made of, and I bet most folks don't appreciate it.
The mods are most welcome to check me out, and even though I work for the government - I'm as clean as a whistle
I have a affinity for "Deutsche" tools that I cannot seem to shake and they are scarce so I don't find them used in my area.... 
No thanks for me, but I guess that's why every company makes a different kind. Fit everyone's taste.
, and I'm sure everyone else shares that perspective.
