A manager at PNP said they charge 50% of new.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

I don't know which is more sad, the fact that you would steal something, or the fact that you would openly post on a public forum that you would steal something.

Hopefully, you were only making a joke.

i bought a snap on classic 78 at a yard sale for 200 full of tools. keep your eyes open. i was looking for a long time, and was about to buy a 1000 dollar kobalt one. but the reviews held me up. this box has mostly matco tools and kobalt but its sure nice

that's a steal.

My pull a part is so cheap its idiotic to try to steal from them. That and the off duty SWAT guy in full dress is enough to convince me not to.

Surprising spread in PNP pricing....

Last time I was there I got a matched sets of euro light assemblies (without the covers ) but with perfect headlights and white fog lights for about $60.

IIRC that is about 1/2 the price of a new foglight alone.

It was really tempting to pull the headlightlight wiper motors, but I resisted......

back to the op. when the MAC man came to the shop, youd be suprised at the amount of repos they have.

you can get a really good deal on a professional roll cart, i bought a roll cart for 80% off it came to 89.00 and its 3 drawers. make sure youre buying a good craftsman cart with the bearing drawers. i bought one a while back at k mart for my shed, and it couldnt even hold my drawer full of hammers.

pnp prices are ridiculous, when i lived in PA there was a yard that was almost giving parts away. i used to grab a handfull of relays for a few bucks. lkq now wants almost 5 for one relay. it adds up, especially for an as-is part. im all about honesty, however when theyre paying 200 for a car, and selling the radiator for 100. its ridiculous.

5 gallon bucket with attached canvas tool caddy filled with misc tools, gloves, Ice water, and a towel. My tool boxs are too bulky to carry around.

I agree with Larry!

Oh, and after getting fed up with tool box prices, I chose to build my own wooden tool chest. I built a stout frame from 2x4's and spent a little money on good quality slides (took some shopping to find a good price on those, but they're out there) and I'm very happy with it. Then again, I'm not a bad woodworker. Probably not a solution for everyone.

I'm a fan of the tool bag for the yard myself. Something with a shoulder strap so I can skip the wheelbarrow.

$264!! If I had spare money laying around I'd buy

I lucked into my Craftsman torque wrenches glancing into the garbage behind a Sears (repair/home services outlet). I got to pick from among dozens being pitched. I learned they came from the Techs who are required to get certain tools recalibrated per their ISO policy, and Sears decided it was cheaper to just confiscate/discard all of these wrenches from all of the Techs, and only give torque wrenches to the Lawn and Garden Techs. Apparently the time/$ to coordinate the collecting, tracking, packing, shipping, calibrating, reshipping, redistribution, tracking, ... wasn't considered economical. F'n waste!
