What Did You Buy Today?

[mmcmdl]

Been looking for tool boxes and cabinets. It is ridiculous what they are asking for new and old.

Just left HF . The 42" rollers are now $599 . Everything is getting expensive these days .

It was my birthday in March and I always try to buy something that I don't really have a need for but would like to have. This year it was a depth micrometer. Looked at the usual sources for chinesium and then took a look over on the bay for older American. Saw some Central Tool depth mics at reasonable prices. Did a little research. Found a thread on PM about them where everybody seemed happy with years of service. No negatives. Made a $40 offer on one on the bay and the seller accepted my offer. That was Friday evening. The postman delivered it today.

Came in its original case. No rust or marks anywhere. So now I have a 0-3" depth mic.

My son asked for a floor jack for his bday. I said can't you wait until I die? He said no.. Was that he can't wait for the jack, or he can't wait for me to die??? I dunno...

So I bought him this. I have the Daytona yellow the high end one .. But this was a lot less and figured good enough. And I bought the warranty, which I normally don't do, but 90 days is short for a HF jack.


also bought this for another job I have to do..

I bought one of those to get underneath my Cadi, works great.

Picked up a used 24” pan and box break for $100. Cost me another $150 to get it shipped to me. But given that buying one locally is a $500+tax touch I figure I’m money ahead.
Pictures when I get it out of the crate!

I should add I had the 1.5 ton jack Aluminum for many years. Loaned it to my boss, and he did not listen to me. It looks like he didn't chock the wheels, did it in his driveway on a hill and bent the jack like a pretzel. Of course he gave it back like nothing happened... What do you do when it's your boss....
