A). You're link doesn't allow non-members to read, which is a bummer cuz I like a good story.I admit it. I am enjoying keeping this thread alive. I am an attention whore in an old man's body. Today the story is that the UPS man brought my JJ tools. Wooo-weee! I might be a mechanic one day. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to getting sweaty and greasy working on my TJ this weekend. I have low expectations too. I expect I will find my JJs are in great shape and didn't need maintenance. They will probably still squeak after I finish too. Durn! Anyway, here is the $221 tools that none of my kids will recognize as valuable when they go through my stuff in a few years.

These tools won't be the only ones that will go in the unknown bin. I am a life time motorcyclist, and I have all kinds of MC tools that will probably not be thought of as valuable either. Which leads me to a confession and a story if you have the time.
I tend to get in a rush when I am on a project. If the project runs long, my stuff gets laid out in a variety of places, and that often causes me to make bad decisions when I can't find something. For instance, one time I needed a wrench. A quick search did not turn up the wrench I was looking for, so I grabbed the vice grips. If you have ever used vice grips, at least the old style ones from Craftsman, then you know they can bite. Mine drew blood. Here is my story:

B). Totally understand the tool issue and getting in a hurry. You should see my barn after I finish a project... It's pretty embarrassing, actually. I also have multiple of the same tool, because I can't find something, convince myself that someone has borrowed it, and go buy a new one, only to find the original buried in junk.
