Default Everytime I open a hood it could be Christmas...

A while ago I popped the hood of a car and found inside a sweet oil filter wrench. It was just like the kind I had (some brand sold by a guy at our sister dealership) but this was in way better shape. I now use that one instead of the other one I had.

Today I had to do an oil and rotate on a Solara. So I pop the hood and what do I find but a set of Craftsman RoboGrip pliers. They were rusted and looked like complete ass. But that matters not to me because lifetime warranty baby! So tonight I took those back and said they were broken and got a brand new set all for free. They are worth $20!

And their junk, ever tried to use those things, worthess. Good find though. We were driving through town one day when I was a kid and this big work truck hits a bump and drops a 2' long massive cresent wrench. My dad slows down and grabs it out fo the door almost with stopping. It's still in the garage somewhere.

Ha. Sears sells these big ass socket wrenches in I guess 1'' drive. I would buy it for the novelty if it wasn't like $150.
