    I like scrounging stuff at work. Lots of stuff that is fixable gets thrown out and lots of stuff gets left behind on jobs and gets covered in ten years of taconite dust.

    Industrial machinery amazes me. Still in service since the 50s. Quality stuff just lasts.

    Yea I see more when you have multiple locations. I'm just a mere starter tool hoarder. I only have about 1/3 of a shallow drawer full.

    You can enough pliers...but I don't think you can have too many. They're a cure all.
