What Did You Buy Today?

[C-Bag]

....however, since you have been looking so long and doing the weekly searches you deserve some reward!

Thanks Brino. But these not weekly searches, but daily. Some folks look at hockey scores, or whatever, my relaxation is looking at CL. It’s always fascinating and instructive to see what comes up. It’s what my wife calls tool porn It is my guilty pleasure. And being an at home worker it’s also what I do as my break.

I’m also incredibly lucky that I’m married to the best partner I’ve ever had. She knows I only bring this stuff to her because partially I can’t believe what I’ve found, so I have to share it. But I’m also conflicted. I’ve been close to grid lock in my too small shop for too long. And I tell myself, that’s it, I don’t need anything else. And this comes along. And she says after she wants a complete explanation, how can you NOT go get it? She even wanted a demo when I got back. I’m lucky and grateful.

I couldn't resist. $89 free shipping -Ebay. Hey it works and the tank is big! For the money.
Digital Ultra Sonic Cleaner

Jeff,
Was that a "one off" ebay deal or does the seller have more?
I was given an ancient ultrasonic cleaner by my father in law, but it was broken. I replaced a vacuum tube once, but it appears dead again.
It is on my list to convert to solid-state, but that list is likely longer than my life span.
Feel free to PM me the seller or link.
Thanks,
Brian

Absolutely. Problem is she gets excited when I find some crazy deal and I’m stymied by the logistics and she’s telling me it’s only $$, what are you saving it for ?
My Portuguese Guilt kicks in and I’m all in a knot….

Here you go buddy,

Commercial 6L Ultrasonic Cleaner Industry Heated Heater w/Timer Jewelry Glasses 806808177162 | eBay

Ultrasonic cleaning is based on the cavitation effect caused by high frequency ultrasonic wave vibration signals in fluid. As a result, it is more convenient and efficient than hand wash, steam cleaners, high pressure water jet cleaning or other machines.

I had to explain to my wife, if I take social security when you want me to at 65 and 6 months vs. 65, the difference is $54 a month.
I'll be missing out on $16,200 to earn $54 more per month.
Yeah, I know. She struggles with math, but let's me do anything I want in my shop including filling it with expensive tools

You and me C-Bag, we got lucky man.

Here you go buddy,

Thanks Jeff!

That allowed me to find essentially the same unit on amazon.ca for CAD$219, with free shipping.
The vendor you used did not ship to Canada, and other ebay sellers in the US wanted USD$130 just for shipping!
