- @PlacidPenguin online they are only free with another purchase. You have to go to the store to get it without purchase.

I took one of those flashlights apart in church the other day… was MacGyvering a “star” costume that fell apart. I probably should mosey on over and get a replacement for the hubby.

if all 3 of those items cost a dollar total to make i;d be shocked. HF has some gems amongst piles of gravel (the aluminium jack for instance) but they are less common thsn i wish. usually more expensive too.

- @aerosquid a lot of people I know use that place instead of renting tools. You can usually buy something for the price it would cost to rent it a couple of days. If it lasts longer than that, it’s a bonus in their eyes.

- @aerosquid You’re probably not going to be shocked, then, since it does cost more than a dollar to make all of them. China’s wages have increased a good bit over the years and even the factories there are going automated wherever it’s feasible.
  
  @RiotDemon Yep. Several years ago, a coworker spent $60 renting a wet tile saw for 3-days. I spent $45 purchasing mine, did my 3 bathrooms, 2 bathrooms at my neighbors house, and resold it for $30 to someone who didn’t want to spend $60 renting one.
  
  I purchased my drywall hoist the same way - from someone who didn’t want to spend $150 renting when it could be purchased for that much. I bought it very lightly used for $120. I’ll have no problem reselling it for $100 when I’m done with it.
  
  My take at HF tools versus the “American” brand tools: they’re all imported nowadays, all have the same warranty, but one costs less than half of the other.
  
  Not too hard to decide there. I didn’t mind paying a premium for USA made. I do mind paying a premium for the same import with a different name slapped on the box.

I had a lady asking me if I worked there. Just to be clear, I was wearing sunglasses, a shirt with a unicorn shitting rainbows, camo shorts, and flip flops.

Do I look like I fucking work there? That’s what I really wanted to say. I just said no. Then I asked myself why that happens to me often. Several times a year.

- @RiotDemon To be fair, that outfit would totally convince me that you work at meh. Also, if I ever see anyone wearing that particular combination of clothing, I’m going to look crazy when I do the octopus sign at them while saying “RiotDemon?!?”

  I’ve thought long and hard about how to cause the most embarrassment if I were to ever meet a mehmber.
  
  Hasn’t happened yet, although after 2 years I’ve come up with some ideas.

- @Thumperchick if it was me, I might look at you crazy because I have no idea what the octopus sign is, lol. Then after a while, it’ll process that you called my name. Then I’ll wonder if I’m being stalked, haha

  Octopuses can escape lots of things. And they are just cool.
  
  And people don’t appreciate them.
  
  An American tourist to Greece happened upon an octopus with six legs, also known as a “hexapus.” Then he smashed it against a rock and ate it. Only later did he realize that the so-called hexapus is very rare, and that this was only the second six-legged octopus ever found, according to news reports.
