    WOW Scrapping more tools then scrap..

    Well I been tearing things apart all week and gone through a lot of cheap o screw drivers. So I decided I better get some craftwomen so I can just take them back and replace them. I seem to have ben bending my strait end screw drivers (no I never pry with them ) and striping the heck out of my dollar store Phillips ones.



    Right now I think I have around 30 to 40 worth of scrap maybe more. I will use this to buy some of my tools. I have a long list of tools I want for scrapping and not buying them unless scrap pays for it.

    Don't know why I am posting this just felt like it. I am just getting so frustrated with cheap tools that I am investing in some good ones.

    Do what I have done keep trying different tools until you find the brand/model that works great and lasts, then loose it. Mike

    I always try to invest some of my scrap money. Figure it pays for itself over and over... plus it might get wasted if I don't use it immediately for something useful.

    Yeah, just dropped 150 bucks at HF just so I could hide a box of tools in my truck where my guys can't lose them...
