A couple of years ago, I was speaking to a woman who had just moved into a home nearby and had gone through a nasty divorce. The husband had been long gone and she wanted to get rid of some of his "old stuff" in the garage rather than move it into the new home. She saw me working on one of my motorcycles and mentioned that the ex-husband was a mechanic some years ago and that some of the "old stuff" she didn't want to move to the new place were tools. I went over to her old place and in the garage was an older Snap On cabinet with an upper chest. I tried to open it, but it was locked. We agreed upon a price and I hauled the boxes home with a friend's pickup truck. After drilling out the two locks, here's what was in there.....Snap On 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, sockets (regular & impact), ratchets, more wrenches than you can imagine, punches, engine analyzer, multi-meter, drill bits, specialty ratchets and attatchments that I haven't figured out yet, complete sets of pliers, channel-locks, screwdrivers and a bunch of stuff that I'm not going to list so as to not further anger anybody. All of this stuff is Snap On. The agreed upon price was $100.......I felt so guilty that I gave the woman a $200 gift certificate to a shee-shee-la-la restaurant near my house. Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time.
