This afternoon while I was surfing the net looking for po… err…. Wood projects and guitar parts and the like. :rolleyes: The LOML calls me from the BORG (HD) to inform me of some clearance items on sale, and she’ll be bringing home the Cordless 18V Ridgid Planer #R848…. “it’s on clearance for $79, I’m going to buy it… OK?”:cool:
Then she asks me how big of a band saw I was wanting, 17 I reply.... They have a 10” Ridgid on sale do you want that??? And she starts listing other items….

Long story short…. I have a new tool... and a wife that shops for tools without me asking.:eek: She could have kept quiet and I wouldn’t have had a clue……. she does not have a sister!!!

PS I know the drill and it's in my sig.... here are pics of the tool, not the wife. I would be a bigger tool if I let her get away.:D NO, this isn't a tool gloat.... more of a Wife gloat:)

Heck,
my wife gets mad every time I drop a few thousand on a tool I "really need".
Go figure.
