ToolWhore (tm) scores again !
Â* We did a little yardsailin' last Saturday , I picked up 2 pairs of
Vise Grip branded welding clamp pliers for a buck ... but the big pair was missing the locking toggle . Just finished making a new one from comparisons with other similar sized locking pliers . This increases my arsenal to 7 pairs , in 4 different types . That should be enough for now . Or like blacksmith tongs there is no such thing as enough - eight sets so far and I see a need for at least 2 more . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Tools go through three phases: You don't have enough, you almost have enough, you don't have enough storage space. 4 stages, the 4th being selling off duplicates to make room for other tool storage. I'm single, but don't parents sell, um, I mean marry-off their kids to gain tool storage room? -- "I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined and that we can do nothing to change it look before they cross the road." --Steven Hawking |
