Tool Gloat !!! Kurt D40

[Ulma Doctor]

Congrats - $60 would be that much almost just to ship it! That was a steal for sure. You will love it.
Think I got my D688 for $175 or 200 at an auction (Completely caked with aluminum chips and coolant inside and out) and I felt lucky.

Minor rant - Btw when my wife *****es about me spending $ on good tools I reply by showing her threads like this. And I ask her so how much can you sell that 5th pair of black shoes you paid for $150 for???? Uh..... Yeah. Zippo is right. When I die and she has a garage sale i will be the genius LOL

Thank you!
the shipping was $27 fed ex, from 350 miles south of me .

:rofl:, i like the mini rant !!!

i'm very lucky, i have a tool fund for shop "consumables"(wink,wink).
if i can strategically articulate the need(want) for a tool or piece of equipment, i usually get the tool or equipment in question.
i justify this by using the new found tool/equipment to do a paying job.
most times a tool is charged directly to the job i'm working on. then of course, i keep the tool.
the equipment rarely takes more than a few jobs to pay for itself, so i usually get the best of both worlds.
