Bought hub socket

[cozadlance2]

Axle locknut socket 2 9/16 rounded hex for $25.47 at NAPA.
Biggest socket I ever bought.

Nice.

everybody sees it and says the same thing: "damn."

[Racer Z]

When I buy something like this, and show it to my "almost wife", and I'm just so exited to have a new toy that I won't ever use more than twice in my life, she hardly even turns her head and says, "so". Followed by, "And how much did you spend on that?!"

But if I try to compare it to her sewing machine, the one that cost her $3,000.00 (yes, three thousand dollars), somehow that's different. And when I try to bring up her back-up machine, the old one that cost $2,000, she gets mad. I can't even mention the other one, the one she never uses anymore. "But that's the first sewing machine I ever bought."

She really is a good quilter and uses her "tools", a lot. But somehow, it's just different. My tools aren't important.

Women!! Sometimes they just don't understand what's really important in life!

im pretty sure we have a couple 4-5" sockets at work. i don't know what they are for and i hope i never find out

[cozadlance2]

specialty tools are great conversation tools with the right audience.
this one seems to invite purile humor about... big, ah... nuts.

[Racer Z]

I could say something about wrenching on big nuts, but I won't. We are talking about big sockets, right?

[cozadlance2]

big sockets. right. sorry. i weakened for a moment.

women probably only like one tool we have.





or maybe two. pliers and the screwdriver.

redneck dictionary;
retooling costs: when you break it and have to buy another one.
