What Did You Buy Today?

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....

I would have told him he owed me a new jack. That's a pretty abusive relationship, if you ask me. If he did nothing after you asking, I would report him to HR if you had one in your organization. Breaking your stuff that you loaned him to help and pretending that nothing happened, that's pretty low. Like 4 flat tire low... You know, a pebble in every tire valve, with a screwed down valve cap makes a slow leak, just saying...

marked A36 & is 1-1/2 x 12"

That's a lot of good material, great find (& price.)

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.

Depth mic was one of my most used tools when I was an engine builder....

Nice David, I have been looking for one like that for some time. Have to laugh at some of the prices. Cheaper to buy new sometimes.

Congrats.

It cost me $150 to have it shipped to me but they are $500 +$65 in tax new so...I feel pretty good about it. Needs some spit and polish but I'm good with that.

When's your next review?

I was let go July 2020...
by that time I had my 3rd boss. I started writing about it, but gave up. It was not a good place to work in general.
