I Love Tools
Who doesn't?
Picked up a used Champion compressor a few weeks back. Cleaned up the valves, greased the electric motor and it was up and running strong. Just plumbed a short run to attach a filter and regulator tonight. Gordo

My name is Dave and I am a Tool-a-holic. Many, many years ago someone told me that no matter what do not ever sell or get rid of your tools. I have followed that rule. The few tools that I have sold were because I bought something newer or better.

That's a really nice compressor. I get a kick out of getting a 'deal' on quality tools at a modest discount. Nothing like buying a lifetime tool for 30% off new price.
Just spent over $600 on a collection of Stabila construction levels. Where do the tool nuts meet for support and counseling? |

There is a local tool store that is a place I try to stay out of. I used to live within a mile of it.
The nice thing about this place is they have the cheap Chinese junk, and mid level Indian junk and then a good quality level for most items. The last time my brother came to town I took him in there. We spent several hours browsing and left with several must have tools. It's a Toy R Us for big boys and way better than any strip club.

These are my tools.
There are many others like them, but these are mine. My tools are my best friends. They are my life. I must master them as I master my life. Without me my tools are useless. Without my tools I am useless. I must use my tools correctly...................

I love American Tools
So I have had Schumacher and Sears Diehard battery chargers go kaput all the time - so I just found an American company making car battery chargers. I got the 126AC because $84 shipped is a steal!
Portable battery charger, battery chargers, jump starters, boosters and cables made in the USA for automotive, commercial and industrial use |
