>Buying tools you don't use nor have a need forIs this retarded? The way I see it pliers will always be pliers and steel will always be steel so it makes sense to buy it because in 5 years the same tool will be twice as expensive.
>>2867891My snap-on discount only runs for 2 years and 12k MSRP. I bought a $500 wrench set for $127 shipped I bought the full Pwz range for $39 a pair I bought metric shallow and deep for $250 So in my case all the tools I own literally are worth more money the second I receive them because YOU don’t get that discount and you buying on the second hand market pays the market rate which is higher than what I pay I pay less than what the tool trucks do in many cases
>purposely summoning the namefagswhy?
Through little specific projects I've bought lots of Makita tools because it's always cheaper to learn and diy than hiring a useless tradie since they always fuck up. Plus then I'm left with the tool. I have an awesome place and a tool library born entirely out of my hatred for tradie scum
>>2867894>buys tools for their true value + 20%>pretends he is scamming the manHow much of an inbred nigger must you be to fall for this shit, youre literally a stupid retarded niggerbaby. Your tools have never seen a jobsite and youre a pathetic loser whose whole identity is based on some merchandizing scumbags propaganda, that probably appeals to your "manhood". In quotes because you couldnt be turned in to a man with the most potent testosterone imitators under the sun. Be a REAL man and end your pathetic miserable life, use those Snap-On© tools of yours and build yourself a gallows and hang yourself with it, itll be the first and last thing you build.OP the tools get better every year. After 10 years youre going to look at those pliers and think "man these really arent that great".
>>2867891>Is this retarded?In your case, yes. If you haven't come up with a use for pliers by now you probably never will.
>>2867929>tools get better every yearKek.
I buy stuff if it's a good deal. Just a couple days ago I ended up with an Excalibur brand pneumatic windshield remover tool that came with a 4 drawer steel organizer. I wanted the organizer, the windshield removal tool was just an extra freebie. It's probably a 2-300 dollar tool realistically. I've only removed one windshield so far in my life, but I modified an extra blow molded case I had lying around to hold the Excalibur and my other windshield removal tools so I could use the metal box it came in with the organizer drawers.

>>2867891not sure what you mean by have a need for exactly, but it's a good idea to have a good broad set of tools for every case, even you don't need everything at the moment, because not having the right tool when you happen to need it is an absolute bitch and you'll most likely have done some shitty workaround by the time it arrives, but if you mean buying some specialized equipment you have no business ever using, then yeah, it's retarded

>>2868007Fun story, I got a lock picking kit for my birthday one day and learnt how to do it on the tutorial lock they provide, then never touched it again. Fast forward a year later and I buy my first home and the dude forgot to give the key for the garage so I couldn't access it, I'm stumped but remember the kit I got. Never used it on a proper lock but within 8 seconds I had picked the garage door lock and gained access. Was kino as fuck that I could do it but also scary reminder on how fucking shit locks are.
>>2867891>>Buying tools you don't use nor have a need for>Is this retarded?It depends on the price. I bought a PEX crimping tool for a $1 at a yard sale like 10+ years ago, used it once, loaned it out once. I have boxes and boxes of tools that I got stupid cheap at yard sales, thrift stores, estate sales that I never really had any need for.I live in a small town, we had a Western Auto years and years ago. It shut down and a few years ago the guy who owned it died. They had a three day estate sale, I went every day and on the last day I asked the woman they hired to run it if I could go to the shed out back and fill up a box for $5. She said yes, and I glutted on old Wizard Duro and Indestro tools that have just been sitting in a few rubbermaids for years.
Buy the tool for the job. Even if you only do that job once at least you will know what got fucked up during install. I'm sick of paying contractors to fuck shit up when I'm perfectly capable of fucking it up myself

>>2867933>>2868203You guys clearly dont have old pliers. Low tolerance milling, materials science and mass production has come a long way. Not to even mention advances in user comfort, or use of mechanical advantage. Yeah right now brand new knipex pliers seem like all youll ever need, but those same engineers will figure out a way to make it better. They have to, otherwise the US made nigger trash will slowly catch up. Probably by stealing ideas and technology.
>>2868256Who gives a fuck you coonsumer goytard? Hardened steel is hardened steel, nobody cares if they come with some magic blend of cpm s970v® and titanium coated tungsten alloy 10y down the line.
>>2868259I'm advocating for not buying tools you don't need you vapid inconsistent cunt, you're a retard with no vision and probably cant tie your shoelaces so why are you here? Velcro shoes can be found at kids department at your local "buy low cost AR-15 market" you osmium filled paper bag.
I bought the Bosch mini saw a while back and have had to find uses for it, but I did use it, and it was fun, and convenient. No regrets.

>>2867929When I was a machinist I used them everyday I work in an office now still use them every weekend I could grab any wrench in my husky pro tool box I bought in 2007 when I was a tech (it’s not a snap-on box, those are over priced) and sell it for more than I paid… When I was a tech and welder I’d pile it all in there but when I trained to be a machinist they pounded 5s into my head and attention to detail I didn’t need when I’d run a tig toe flag and a grinder or just r&r shit on dealership cars and stuff they bought at auction so now all my shit is 5s organized and tagged I hate people that would out of tool boxes with unorganized tools and filled to the brim with cheap shit they picked up
>>2867981When I was in highschool we did an apprenticeship to become mechanics This Filipino dude that was like 300 pounds was the only other dude that made it to that level with me ( he dropped out because he said it was too much work) His wrenches a full set of 10-19mm, we’re all mismatched 10 mm craftsman, 12 mm husky, Chinese 13mm that was just stamped cr-v , He had a drawer of just loose Allen wrenches L-keys that’s how he stored them he took them out of those little holders and just dumped them loose ina. Drawer there were hundreds of themHe would also keep every ikea or bullshit disposable Allen Made me so mad I went out and bought bondhus gold plated L-keys and bought the park tool set so they remained organized and well kept I keep a freezer bag of bullshit Allen keys in the very botttom drawer and hand people that bag when they ask to borrow an Allen wrench >unlock box >open bottom drawer, move unbranded round head ratchets, loose Pittsburgh sockets missing a bunch of sizes and wrenches out of the way >grab freezer freezer bag of Allen keys > drop it on your tool box > lock box again That’s my “irresponsible person drawer” I also have the free harbor freight screw drivers, lights, just whatever junk I randomly get over the years of working on stuff goes into the “loaner drawer”

>>2867891sometimes you buy a tool first and find the use later. I randomly bought an oscilating multitool, fully convinced it would just gather dust, a 60$ Einhell one, because I was was curious what multitools are about, and they gave a battery and a charger for free with it and I wanted to have a cheaper complementary system to my Makita main for less important tools I will only need occasionally. now it's the most frequently used tool I have
>>2868259>Hardened steel is hardened steelSomeone cant afford a nice knife, sad.
sometimes you just find a purpose. I bought an Einhell oscilating multitool together with a battery and a charger for 60$, thinking it would just gather dust, just becase it was cheap and I wanted to check out what multitools are about, but it became my most used powertool. I wonder if a more expensive one, like Makita, would be considerably more useful
