If I knew you needed a tank I already had some off a truck here when you came up. They would of just needed to be steamed cleaned. I kept them stored with the openings downward to keep moisture out.
When I checked around it was $150 to get the tank cleaned and coated. I wish I would have know then that the tank was so dirty because I would have taken one of you tanks in a heart beat.

I am having the opposite problem this week, I haven't lost on anything so far and I don't start losing soon it could get expensive. LOL

I just got a set of snap-on sockets the other day, so it may be turning around for me!

i try not to bid on more than one high ticket item at a time... like you said, ends up being pretty expensive and scary when "someone" finds out...

When I first started going to school I bought a set of craftsman and westward tools, Since I have been out in the work force I have been getting snap-on and mac tools. I then put the old tools in my garage at home so if I need a tool at home I don't have to run to work when I want to work on the '79!

There is nothing wrong with craftsman, westward, mastercraft, ect they all have lifetime warranty. I use my tools everyday and for my living, that's why I went with snap-on and mac.

Sears is has been sucking for the last 20 years. I hardly get there tools anymore. When A rachet goes, they give you a rebuild kit with tiny bearings. You are to take it home and do it yourself. Westward and snap on , Macs they exchange the ratchet. I been finding sears to do this with more of their tools which then becomes a pain in the ****.
Talk to other guys they say they don't have time to spend a hour or more trying to rebuild a tool that has springs and little bearings that fall all over the place.
