In 22, our annual shipment of honeybees from Sacramento, got diverted to Atlanta and they all died in the Georgia heat. Delta flew the charter to Anchorage, anyways. What a disaster. 5 million bees.

Diverted to ATL? That's a 4+ hour direct flight "diversion". They must've stuck them in a warehouse for them to die.

My grandfather raised bees in Alabama for over 30 years. What a shame.

Got a personal great deal today. The guys always love dragging out this cordless 1/2" impact. I think it's kind of a pooch, but whatever..

We've got a little suspension project going on, and I've got a used impact for sale now. The guys let me use it, and now it's time for it to find a different home.

Make me a offer!

They're only about $20-25 for a replacement anvil and they're fairly easy to replace.

I've rebuilt several Paslode Framing nailers after the price of sending them to the refurb shop in GR doubled.

Yeah butttt, they got these red ones that everyone is saying are so much better.

You're denying me new tool needs.

Bauer? Can we get a moderator in here to give him a short vacation? First he’s trying to cut me out of the vetech buyout and now this. The only good thing I ever found at horrible freight was the exit.

It’s possible I’m a straw bidder to drive up your price….lol.

My son loves HF. Would I use their welders? Naw. Some of their tools are ok for a just in case. I do like their packouts for the $. Keeps my plasma stuff, suitcase stuff, hydraulic stuff and electrical stuff nice and organized.

I have friends that call and they are like, wanna go check out HF.
I’m lika Na, I have everything I need and I don’t like anything there but occasionally might by a 10 pack of 4 1/2” rocks but even then, it’s only if I have a job coming up where I need to do a lot of crappy close grinding.
I won’t use their cut off disks, I’ll tell you that.
Occasionally I may need a tool that minute but can’t remember the last time that happened.
Got a pretty nice gun safe and tool box for home.
