>>2875563A tool box if you have room for it. Cheap tool cabinets are definitely going to be a thing of the fucking past.
>>2875588> buy more shit from china Ahh, no. Just like the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act, it’s going to be a rough ride.You might want to pay off any debts as soon as possible, and hoard non-perishable food.
>>2875563Hope you bitches like snap-on because soon they’ll be the cheap tool brand
>>2875563Harbor freight is owned and operated out of camarillo, CABegone shill
>>2875563he won't. he didn't do it last time.
>>2875615Lmao… a person can’t be that stupid, you must be shilling, what you’re shilling for is confusing though, I’ll admit
Boomers have garages and basements filled to the rim of tool hordes. Most of them haven't been used in years or even decades. As more and more of them die off, estate sales are going to be the place to go to get cheap tools. The Boomer that would have wanted $50 for an old Craftsman wrench will now be dead and his zoom zoom grandchildren selling his shit will gladly take $0.50 for an entire wrench set just to have it gone.

Deals always will be out there if you have the gumption to go after them. I've pretty much stocked up on cheap stuff years ago when the gettin' was good. I even topped it off with a grand finale HF shopping spree on their dime when they sent me almost 4 grand in gift cards after the class action lawsuit! Lol.
>>2875563>heat up tools in air fryer>say heat treated had to be done in america>stamp made in america on it>get tax breaksAlso say you had to hire immigrants for minimum wage to do it because no one else applied.
>>2875659Go to estate auctions. You might have to deal with resellers competing against you but you can still get plenty of high end tools cheap that way. I keep all the good stuff and sell the low end stuff at flea markets just to get rid of it.
>>2875591>hoard non perishable foodWhat is it with you retards and constantly thinking the worlds gonna fucking endPrices are gonna go up then correct, we’re not immediately going to be transported to a nuclear wasteland because you can’t buy cheaper Chinese crap anymore
>>2875659Yeah but craftsman tools are shitty especially neglected craftsman tools with no warranty other than by being replaced by some piece of trash china wrench by Stanley
>>2875726Well, i aint gonna be able to afford no $400 2Ah battery for my drill every 2 years anymore, so im going corded.
How stupid are these posts? You guys sound like twinks. Anyways the lighting is 40% off. Winch is $100 off. Icon is marked down too.
>>2875588FFS noMy MAC box is has Rusty Wallace driving Pontiacs which has less rust and drawer wear them my Yukon that's 3 years old.Buy a set of 3 jaw pullers
>>2876429>My MAC box is has Rusty Wallace driving Pontiacs which has less rust and drawer wear them my Yukon that's 3 years old.Your toolbox is rusting out? What kind of shithole do you keep your toolbox in?>>2876429>Buy a set of 3 jaw pullersJesus christ... I guess if he has no gear pullers the hf ones will be better than nothing. The cheapo chinese pullers are annoying to use though.
>>2876353I don’t understand icon, Icon is priced at 40% of snap-on, but if you literally walk into a community college and ask for a free application they give you a student email The. You can buy snap-on at 60% off which puts it at the icon price point Are blue collar people just retarded and lazy?And just go for the “easy” option over the best option?
>>2876475I'm saying that's the sale going on right now silly billy. Are you aware of the date? Pretty dense.
>>2876475>I don’t understand iconYou don't seem to understand a lot of things.
>>2876475Snapon is for retards. "i have to have the best" idiots are a joke. I have several Icon tools and they are great. I also have a omni pro 220 and I bet I can out weld most of the muh Miller or muh Lincoln bros with it. I did go with the Milwaukee M18,M12 lineup but not because its the best but because their lineup fits my needs if Bauer had the same lineup I would have used them and saved a ton of cash. I have learned that people like you talk a lot about tools rather than using them.
>>2876730No what I mean is this, icon 3/8” metal handle non flex ratchet is what $59.99 MSRP? That’s the exact same price you can get it from snap-on on their SEP… so why not buy the snap-on? It’s the same price
>>2876764Why would I jump through hoops to buy a ratchet? I have been stacking tools for 20+ years and have never felt the need to buy snapon. My wife and I don't get christmas gifts for each other we buy a tool we need. This year is a 3rd function for our tractor.
>>2876776> buy tool for wifeWhat kind of tools do chicks want?
>>2876813Its not for the old lady its for our use on the farm or whatever to make our lives easier.
I don't buy snappon because I associate the brand with retards who overpay for shit and are constantly thousands in debt to the fapon truck. Even though I have enough money to buy snapon tools to replace all my regular tools, I would rather not because I don't want to be associated with those faggots
>>2875563>What should I buy from Harbor Freight before Drumpf runs them out of town?Does Harbor Freight sell brains? It sounds like you need one. You just spent four years getting plowed up the posterior by a deep-state puppet who is owned by china doubling the price of food and gasoline, and NOW you're worried about expenses?
I know I keep saying it, but I'm damn glad I bought all the shit I did years back before prices got higher than giraffe pussy. HF's knee mill is now $2500. I bought mine for around $1200 with a 25% off coupon.Their round column mill no longer exists on the website. I bought one at an auction for $200Their 50 ton presses are now $1500. I bought two of them for $800 each with coupons. They no longer sell their large professional blast cabinet or media reclaimer. Sad. Got mine again with a 20 or 25% off coupon.
>>2875659Shut up. Don't tell people about this.
>>2878253>Shut up. Don't tell people about this.No one bitching about how hard it is to find tools on here is going to have the gumption to actually get off their phones and go to an estate sale or auction... Anyone who has already stocked up on tools will continue to get the deals and everyone complaining will sit there and cry like the little bitches they are.
>>2875659Have fun with your assortment of mismatched SAE sockets.
>>2878280Not everyone is OCD.
>>2878282Missing the point, metric is relatively rare since boomers were stuck in 1970 and if you're doing anything actually serious like machinery in the past 50 years instead of putting bolts in decks you'll have a hard time finding it.Source: I was doing this 10 years ago every weekend.
>>2875588>boxes already went up a lot>didn't replace the beat to shit worn out waterloo 44" 10 years ago>fucking 72" hf boxes are $1800>drawer layout got worse with subsequent generations so half the box is 5 foot deep drawers that are only good if you own like 10000 tools in blow molded cases
>>2875605they are already cheap in quality. bout time prices catch up...oh you mean we're going to produce crap and charge luxury prices....Zion Don is going to kill my after market tool repair and make it cheaper to buy a new american made drill for 450$ at Walmart rather than the Chinese one for 60$+400$ tariff.or we will have trans shipping and conservatives will get pissed or love trans.I am Chinese I produce product for 1 dollar.you tariff me for 100%product is now 2$I sell to the Philippines for 1 dollar.the Phillies bypass Chinese tariffs and sell in America for 1.50cents.I am Chinese and sell both to American and trans nationally to America.america is literally winging the war for China against themselves.really getting tired of the dumbest assholes in the room being the loudest.
i hope he deports everyone so I can charge you an extra 100k for a house and finally get to work myself.you will never deport. this is going to be work camps. even illegals are getting expensive. time to cheapen it all up.private prison labor please.
people are literally going to starve and corporations have just been given a free pass to subjugate you(more).you think healthcare is bad. just wait and see what the country looks like in 20 years.if you survive in iran fighting for Israel, you're going to come home the same way the Vietnam vets, the Gulf war vets, the Iraq vets, the Afghan vets, the Grenada vets, the Korean war vets etc.die for me or work for me. those are your options. no girlfriend, no house. I'm not a charity and a girlfriend takes away your time serving me.
get off your lazy ass and rebuild my factories in America.afterwards, I'll hire new Mexicans and send you to Iran.
>>hurrr im not a slave shut up, your sycophant for an Israel pawn and you were trained to hate your own country and children.you are a product.if jfk has to bend the knee this hard, what is he going to do to you?I wonder if he gets paid directly for sending Americans to die for Israel.
the face you make when you aren't a hostage to the deep state.
For me, it's Proto.
