wellllll, like man i'm jonesin'  for a new tool but i have to go and sell
some blood first!  (feling light headed already, from my last tool purchase)
.  roflmao!   when i worked at a gas station as a mechanic the rebuilders
of master cylinders  sometimes included the bench bleeding kit with
replacement master cylinders(that fit that master, not all master's).   i
wanted the rest of the set of adapter screw in nipples that covered other
varieties and found that the tool vendors with the big trucks that came to
work were selling the kit in a blow moulded case with neat compartments for
about twice what the napa bench bleeding kit was selling for.  i wanted the
tools not the fancy case.  got an entire drawer in side cabnet for hydraulic
tools.  i did not need the blow moulded poly caes!
so dat's da story!
chuck.
hey ya gotta new tool? lemmie seeit woncha? cool, where didja get it?  hey
man, when ya gonna seeum again?  kenya get me one too? no man i cant live
without it, like, it's way too cool !  just get me one! how many tenths can
it cut offa that job?
(like i have never heard that conversation ever before) lmao!....c.
