added some toys to the garage
« on: July 06, 2008, 08:24:33 AM »

An acquaintance was having a pre quasi-garage-estate sale.  Her father passed a few months ago and she was cleaning out his tools.  I picked up a "used" air compressor... they think he bought it to run a sand blaster that he used once.  it's a $400 craftsman 25 gallon 3.5 horse model, got it for a song... I'm a happy camper!  The regular sale will be next weekend, and I'm probably going to pick up a few other items from them... I think I saw impact sockets and I put "dibs" on a really nice drawered tool box, but told her to keep it until after the sale since it was full of stuff.

And I wanted them, so I picked up a set of flex-head gear wrenches on sale at Sears.  Woot!

Man, do I need a new tool box.  I can't even close the drawers of my little cheapie that I've had for years.

Maybe if I got rid of all my SAE tools it would help.  That would make sense anyways....what with the VTX and two Toyota cages, huh? ;)

I don't know that you have to get RID of them...  why not just put them in a box on a shelf since you don't use them currently?

LOL  I meant a storage box so that you could close the lid on your tool box!  LOL
