I was looking for something else and noticed on my Machine Shop shopping list that one of these was available new for less than half that... it's not like *I* need non-hack Swiss and German tools but I don't need to add "stupid" to the established list that includes "hack" and "insanely terrible welder"! Second time I scored a killer high end tool with a bad price on it there. I got a gorgeous $500 boring head for $108 last year too, also new. Now... if they could only put a box of "talent" out at a good price, I'd be all set!

Cool! I might have to have a little chat with the GLF about her definition of "fairness" as it relates to me
