And why is this type of discussion in the Workshop forum?
Although, I guess it makes sense.
You’re lucky you didn’t get a hammer thrown at you.
The first job I had, you were expected to own your own tools.
If one of the other guys caught you snooping around their bench or using one of their tools, the next sound you heard was a hammer or a wrench flying past your head.
You learned real quick, to mind your own business, and focus on the task at hand.
Besides, most of the guys around here, don’t want to know how much their collection is worth.
That just confirms how much they’ve spent.
