My buddy's been lusting for one of these for a while but hasn't wanted to spend that kind of money right now. If I can land this IBEW gig, maybe I'll surprise him with one...

I can appreciate masterfully crafted handmade tools. I have pocketknives well over $400.

VERY essential if you do any kind of repair work. I don't even know if you can buy them anymore with "Made in USA" stamped on them

My father had a really good set but most of the pieces got lost over the years.

That's why when us boys got older my Dad locked up all his good tools and we either had to buy cheap stuff or check them out like at a library. When my son got old enough to start tearing things apart I went to a few auctions and pawn shops and set him up with his own tools. Used tools at a farm auction can be bought for a little of nothing and sometimes you get some really good quality stuff.

I buy stuff from them once in awhile. I have never had bad luck with their stuff like some people say they do.

I had a nice hunting knife I kept in my trailer ... it got seized by Peoria police at the Summer Camp music festival a few years ago.
I was POed but I wasn't going to argue with him as I had other stuff he didn't find!
