My darling wife was garage sale shopping and found some stuff for our garage. (my previous oil cans were stolen a while back - thats another story)
She got the oil cans and vise for $17

I could never get my wife to even go to a garage sale or even know what kind of tools I would need. Your a lucky man.

Did she carry that vise to the car by herself?

Sounds like a good tag-team thing you have going on. next time you are at a sale, you'll have to bring her back some doilies or pink things or something :lol_hitti

pink snap on socks always work well for the wife. then they make you go buy them about 10 more pair. I went through 400 pair int he last 3 months and just had to order one lady 6 more. they love them.

my wife will always call and let mme know what brands of tools she runs across when at the garage sales. She did find me 4000 worth of snap on tools on CL once and I only paid 200 bucks. that one cost me a trip to gymboree. if you know that word then I am sorry.

if grandpa offers it up take it, if not it will be in the trash if something ever happens to him. keep what you can of the family tools.

i know for a fact it won't end up in the trash. He doesn't throw away anything and my grandma or any other family know i'm the only one that uses tools so i will probably get the whole garage when that day comes. I'm just worried what's going to happen to the house :( i've been helping with a lot of re-models in the house and where it is located, more and more "immigrants" if you know what i mean keep moving all aorund here neighborhood and i'd hate to see someone trash my grandpa and grandmas beautiful old house.

www.gymboree.com go look at some of the prices for kids clothes. higher priced than what I buy for myself. janie and jack is even higher and a company called mini boden.

luckily my wife knows what tools are good and which ones are junk so she always keeps her eye out everywhere she goes. she cant spot the snap on tools laying in the street yet, but at least she tells me when she sees a LOST tool laying in the street.
