Seems I get a gloat about every other year . . .
Went to HD to check on Bessey K's, no sale yet. BUT they restocked the
Tradesman clamps! I could have bought 50 of the medium or heavy duty
ones, and about a hundred of the $4 cheapos. HD in Germantown,
Maryland, BTW.
On the way out, I saw the compressor I was unable to get in the tool
sale (recall a compressor is a facilitator, not a tool). It is the
Husky 5.2 hp 25 gal one. It was missing the tool set and dusty, marked
down from $300 to $150. One wheel was canted out crooked, so I went up
to the tool manager and said "I don't know about this wheel . . . " He
says "How about $100?" Sold.
Tightened up the wheel nut, and rolled it to the car.
