hers beau's box...

I had to get one just a little bit bigger than his haha.. Plus mine is sexy yella.

I actually own some craftsmen tools, nothing wrong with them at all. Back in high school I had a friend who worked at sears, basically I brang a shitload of stuff to the counter but he only rang me out for a spark plug gapper, haha.

Check out www.harborfreight.com there hand tools are all China crap but they have some realy great buys on hard to find stuff like ball joit press, noid lights, DVOM, and air tools. I will buy stuff like hammers and pry bars from them because off the price, the tool truck is rediculous. Lets face it a hammer is a hammer, no mater what name is on it.
