Your tool truck?

Your tool truck?

Yes, probably 10 years ago. I am retired now after almost 30 years in business.

I was looking for the stubby spark plug socket to get into smaller places

Pricy, but works good when you have stealth heads on a 440 and the shock tower blocks access to #4 plug.
Bought mine like 20 years ago, only slightly less expensive then, but I bought 4 of them. One for the small tuneup box, one for the rollaway, one for the car trailer, and gave one to a friend.

That's what I need for sure! Thanks

And I thought John Deere stuff was expensive!

I've bought Snap On tools since I was 16-years old. When I was around 30-years old my cousin became a Snap On dealer and gave me some really good deals for 4-5 years before he quit. I picked up a lot of items off eBay at 30 cents on the dollar and traded some of those items for new back then. Probably the craziest set of tools I own are the Snap On 3/4" drive sockets from 3/4" to 2-3/8". I have always believed that it's hard to borrow a tool at 10pm on a Sunday night so I have them on the off chance there might be a need. I use the 3/4 drive ratchet a few times a year and mainly use the 1-1/2" socket for trailer hitch ball nuts and electric water heater element replacements. Even owning semi trucks for 15-years did I ever have a need for most of them, so if you're working on something late on a Sunday night and need a 31/32", 1-15/16", or even a 2-3/8", 3/4" drive socket I am the guy to call.

Me too, except for the $5k part. 2 years ago, I tried to get rid of my 10hp 15" Sheldon lathe in good condition. No luck, got $150 scrap for it, weighed like 3000 lbs.
People are cheap or clueless, not sure which one.

Both

I'm 77 years old. If I dispose of all the tools I will likely never use again my garage will be empty.

No, just leave it for the family to do, like most people.

I'm in the same boat as most of us are in our 70's. When we are gone the dumpster pulls up and every thing goes in. No one will know what to do with all those tools and leftover parts from a 71 Duster or a 68 Road Runner. I just remember it was the greatest time being a car guy and buying a muscle car for $3000.
