Title: Anybody here? Anybody?

What's up, folks?  Are all of you out buying things I can't afford?
Or are you just sleeping in!

I am a nobody, does that count? No buying today, but I got a complete Mity Vac compression tester in the case and 2 impact guns (a Mac and Blue Point) yesterday for $50.

Good deal Guido.  I bought a MityVac new probably 30 years ago for $65.

Well I had yesterday off, so I had lunch with my wife at her office and then drove up to Brewerton to a multi-vendor flea market/antique shop.  A vendor there has a large display of nothing but tools.   I wanted to look for that 3/8 x 1/4 hex drive socket I need.   I get all the way up there and find the vendor has moved out!

Yup,  I need the 3/8" size from this set and the driver is 1/4' hex.
