Hey bro dont feel bad my tools were araised at so much the Army wouldnt ship them acroos the street, and I'm missing Sockets.

The thang that matters is that there all paid for right.

My wife almost killed me one day when she found out I was paying Snap-On $200 a week for 6 months and still owed my two kids

I have no garage at the house I live in and all I got is a 140 peice Task Force mechanics set.

My dad bought mine for me at christmas. I think that craftsman made them cause they look exzactly like a craftsman tool only they say task force. I got metrics sockets up to 32 millameter and some larger standard sockets but I can't remember how big those go. I also got allan wrenches that are labled with a C-V like it says CV 3/16 or any other size that it is. I got wrenches and 3 rachets, I call them Small, Medium and large cause I can't remember the sizing on rachets.

Work responsibilities: Once a day you have to take the long handled socket wrench and 1/4 turn all the engines in the shop storage unit, sweep the floor everynight, wet mop it, then spray buff the traffic lanes, take out the trash, clean the windows, (No streaks) wash the walls once a week, strip and wax the floors every 4 weeks, clean the floor, walls, countertops, coffee pots, sink, dishes, tables, chairs, Etc. in the employee "lounge" area, be there to lift and help with anything the guys need ya for, run for lunch, run for parts, run for coffee/tea, run for tools, make sure the coffee pot is always full, go outside and put another log on the fire so the Sassafrass Tea is always hot, also make sure that there is a hunk of Sassafrass in the poit with the water.. Check to see that all tools are returned and cleaned everyday. Log the broken tools in, answer the phone in a polite manor even if yer po'ed at someone or thing, be the brunt of all the practical jokes the guys will play on ya and laugh it off all the time. Always wear your Clean and pressed work uniform with the name "STREETS GOPHER" on the back of it everyday to "work"....Be the 1st one there in the morning and the 2nd last one to leave at night... AND.... ALWAYS idle (650 rpm's in drive) yer car up and down the driveway when coming to work and going home.. ALL this for at least 6 months at my minimum wage of $5.35@hr.... hehehe
When would you like to start??

Where do you find Sassafrass Tea?? Don't tell me it's from a Sassafrass Tree!!! I'd like some, but not if I gotta do all that stuff ta get it! HEHEHE

Sounds more like a "work release" program to me ...
