    Wow that's a great deal! Those flap sanders are pretty expensive and probably worth what you paid for everything..

    They are each 4 packs of flap discs too!! Those are usually $8 a flap disc! Just the flap discs alone where worth $224 anywhere else... the grinding wheels are each 10 to a pack and the cut off wheels are each 15 to a pack. Thats a crazy deal..:dex: That will keep me going all winter on my trailer restore project!

    Flap sanders are great for sharpening mower blades.. Heck you could make some money reselling some of those discs on ebay if you wanted to Pete

    My adult kids raid my vacuum cleaners from time to time. they just take them! Their comment, no one needs that many vacs. They have tried to get rid of my Dyson but I put up a huge fuss so they left it. They say it is too heavy, but I claim it does a good job and I like the accessories. With these tile floors, I just bought a stick vac that is battery powered. Great for pet hair which is 99% of what I vacuum up.

    I fess up... I have about every tool known to mankind - no way are pictures of my shop/bombscare getting posted until I clean things up.
    Not everything is top quality tools, some I bought knowing they would get used hard(quality) others single may be down the road use(cheapo)

    Residing the house I justified an $800 dewalt 12" sliding compound radial saw and table - it got a workout and still does occasionally
    Refinishing the dark stained oak stair treads $45 Skil belt sander - it still works and I might have used it once/twice since then

    As a hoarder by definition you should have tools that fix tools.
