I think I have over 100,000 in tools at home getting rusty ... every once in a while I spray them with WD-40 ... It may not do much but I feel better :>(

$100k isn't that hard, especially when you have a big roll away and top box.
I used to have a Snap-On Dale Earnhart box. I wonder if it's worth much more than what I paid back in 1988 for it. (it wasn't cheap then either!)

Good point.
I suppose they can each take an end and meet in the middle, though.

Yea its not an impressive collection but it served me well. Dont think I will ever use a 1" impact or 2"+ wrenches but selling them for next to nothing doesnt sound good.

Sold my roll away when I got out of working on cars for a living. Now I wish I had it back. Now I have tools in 3 small box, on the bike and in the tool box of my truck. Makes finding things a joy.

Ask Tracy, when I was doing his 6 speed, how many trips back and forth I made. lol

My mother is being a hateful person right now. Locked horns with my sister AND Kristi over her supervision. I told both of them to blame me for taking her debit card, paying her bills on time, holding her car keys and locking down her social media. She had pawned jewellery to get money to send to scammers. She had refinanced her car so she could send the money to scammers. She couldn't afford her medicine, she didn't have food in her apartment. Well it is no wonder she had a freaking stroke. Now, may sister and I control all her ****. Not because we want to to because we have to. This is not the first time I have found out about her sending money to scammers. She isn't happy about it but tough ****, I'm tired of the same stuff over and over and my sister and I aren't bailing her out AGAIN.

Russ, I'm truly sorry brother. That's gotta be hard.
