ok here goes
sometimes when im out an about i buy a tool i need for a job i am getting ready to do, only to later find i already have that tool. i have a very good memory, but this still happens to me from time to time.
case in point i recently installed batts of insulation in my sunporch i am enclosing. i needed a staplegun for the kraft paper on the insulation so i bought the usual Arrow T50 staple gun. my dad had one when i was a kid, and they havent changed much. after i used it and was looking for a place in my tool box for it, i came across a good used one stashed in my tool box that i bought years ago at a yard sale for $2.00. the sticker was still on it. i didnt need one back then but for 2 bucks i wasnt going to pass it up. now i got 2 of em. i tossed the packaging and reciept so i cant take the new one back plus i used it.
anybody else with similar stories. i also recently got a whole bunch of standard and metric deep and shallow sockets from 1/4" drive up to 1/2" drive. good stanley proto brand since these fell off a truck near my house and littered a main road. i felt like i was playing frogger in real life as my wife and i scooped em up in between cars passing. now that was an awesome deal.
