....starting his only once used gas power washer.

I just helped as I would normally.

My return? He gives me a 24" Rigid pipe wrench.

Wanna buy it?

It was a friendly act towards him and now I have to sell a 24 inch
pipe wrench. BTW I have no use in my DIY.

Wanna bet he re-gifted it?

Why don't you pass it forward the next time somebody lends you a hand?

I will give the tool away. It means nothing to me. Others might
benefit. The neighbor, in my case, should not feel obligated to give
me a present, because I helped him out.

Jest sayin...

figure is the shipping?

Guilt-free solution- give it to local Habitat for Humanity, and if he
ever asks where it is, tell him you don't have any nuts or unions that
big, and you hated to see such a fine tool go to waste, so you found a
good home for it.

Or if you have any friend's kids going through trade school or
apprenticeship, give it to them for a graduation present.

I learned a long time ago to never accept "gifts" from neighbors. Last guy
tried to give me a broken week-eater that needed a fuel hose - guess what
would have been expected of me once I got it running?

No thanks, I've got my own sh*t to deal with.

you never know when any tool may be of use!! May not be for plumbing
but some other wierd application.

Just put in drawer for future use if ever needed

When I need a tool, I buy it. Been doing it this way ever since I started
working with tools in high school, and especially since I bought my home.

They really do tend to add up over the years.

Chuckle. Especially for disorganized people like me. Very frustrating,
knowing I own a certain tool, not being able to find it, and running out
and buying another one to get a job done. I'm 3-4 deep in some stuff by
now. Mostly cheap stuff, thankfully.

I really need to take a week of vacation, have somebody confiscate my
car keys, dsl modem, and satt TV box, and do nothing but sort all this
crap out. But there is always something more interesting to do than sort
stuff. Need me a SWMBO, I guess, since I seem to lack the nesting gene.
I wouldn't expect her to do the work or anything, just keep prodding me
with a stick.

The trick is to just put the tool back in the same place each time. It
doesn't matter if you have your tools scattered in several dozen places
about the house, just make sure that each thing goes back to its home when
you are done with it.

The biggest problem then becomes training yourself to put things away after
a job, but that is a relatively simple 'trick' to learn (certainly easier
than going through everything and organizing them, which often leads to
CFS).

"I'm 3-4 deep in some stuff by now."

Wanna buy a set of combination wrenches? or 2 sets?

A pair of standard pliers? or 2 pairs? or 3?

How many claw hammers would you like? I've got at least 2 extras.

Screwdrivers? Good grief...how many screwdrivers (of the same size)
does one person need?

Guess who sorted out his tools recently?

Don't tell SWMBO. I'll bet I have a cruise-worth of duplicates. ;-)

What's the expression? "If it weren't for women, we wouldn't know where to

Better go see a doctor...I don't recall seeing any man say he needed
someone to nag him ) There are professional organizers who will come
in a bring order to a home...my daughter hired one, after I spent about
five years resisting the urge to just dig in and take care of it. I did
vacuum her furnace ducts and other little things, but felt guilty about
that ) I used to organize my husband's tool closets (condo, no
garage) but it isn't worth the punishment....he has filed for divorce,
but had a small stroke so I guess things will go slow. Picking up his
s--- will be good occupational therapy ) I didn't wish it on him, it
just happened )

Works great for adjusting a burglar's head.

Ya know?! That my very first thought. And then I came to my senses. I
prefer to pop caps further than an arms distance.

You can also use it to change the look of some anus's new BMW.

Just me being pedantic, but all pipe wrenches are pretty rigid, so it is
not worth mentioning, unless you meant Ridgid. :-)
