Holy Shit! Tools Are Expensive Nowadays
 

So we just got back from Lowes a couple of hours ago with a bunch of pegboard and some new tools to hang up on the workbench...

$3500 worth :helpme

When did tools become so fucking expensive to buy?

Its not like we even got the top-of-the-line stuff, just a bunch of power tools ranging in price from $40-$100 and the basics, wrenchs, pliers, hammers, screwdrivers, socket sets etc etc.

Im sure this has got to do with all these fucking makeover reality shows.

Yes.

Marketers have been working hard to develop the tool-wielding "macho" ideal, as a way for the white-collar loser-stiff to acquire a sense of manhood.

Tools have always been exspensive, especially good ones.

so what are you going to build?

Absolutely fuck-all :1orglaugh

We just needed to fill our garage with stuff and we figured if we ever cant get an electrician or workman when one is needed we'll at last have the stuff there to 'attempt' to fix it ourselves LOL

i find tools are pretty cheap nowadays, lowe's is overpriced.

You could always rent the stuff you need

What brand(s) did you get?

Mostly Dewalt for the bulk but we got a couple of cheapo Black and Decker things too (laser level and stud finder).

For the regular hand tools we just got regular Stanley tools.
