If anyone is interested in quality hand tools, Teng Tools has opened up shop in the US.

This is what an end wrench should look like.

Ah, they took a page out of Snap-On's book, for their 'flank drive' wrenches. How is the quality on those??

Based on the forum thread where I discovered them, the quality is excellent. The tool wrap I posted is on sale right now at 50% off. I'm going to buy one for a young friend of mine who needs good tools.

Some of you might remember that I had bought my daughter a Jeep Comanche a little over a year ago. Well it was a great truck and I was happy with it but I came across a HECK of a deal on her dream rig.

When I had started looking at rigs I wanted to find a 2002 Jeep TJ for her but at the time the price was $10,000 or more for one. So that was why I ended up with the Comanche instead. Then in February I found a 2002 TJ at a dealership that was only $8,500. So then the saga began of me trying to sell the truck on Craigslist. Good god are there really that many idiots out there that can't read or comprehend what it is that they read. I had just about given up on being able to buy the TJ because I couldn't sell the Comanche. Of course ending up in the hospital didn't help any. So last weekend a young man came over with his mom and bought the truck. I think it went to a good home.

So then I went and picked up the TJ last Tuesday and brought the Jeep home. Karrlie was so excited about it. The big reason for wanting a 2002 model was that it is the same year she was born. So now she has a rig that is the same age as she is. And we now have a father daughter project that will be fun to fix up. So here are a few shots of the Jeep with Karrlie next to it.

It must have come from the rust belt due to the amount of rust on it.

Yes, he had been touring, while some report he seemed "off" at the show there was nothing to suggest depression or anything.

Seems this caught everyone completely off guard.
