As for the screwdrivers, I got more screwdrivers than waver has knives... Wera, Klein, Milwaukee. The whole fucking rainbow over here

Bought a tool bag this week on Amazon and the delivery guy took a picture of the package on my porch and then Amazon emailed the pic to me.

First time that's happened

How many delivered by their in-house delivery (AMZL US) though?

I get a ton from them with Same-Day delivery and it seems like if the item is more than $100 they usually send the pic. Could also be a new driver thing... Yesterday they delivered my paper cutter and the woman had her son and daughter bring it to my porch. She was rolling in a Suburban and had her kids helping! :wtf:

More pics in my pointy shooty drivey thread.
Really nice looking! Looks like it would have good weight to it as well.

Dang I want a new knife now. Maybe I'll go check them out at REI this weekend.

There goes that idea.

Maybe it's a newbie thing, or someone that has reports of undelivered items... or it's just fully random.

:iono: I thought it was just a new service from Mr. Bezos. Like I said before, the last 3 or 4 deliveries I've gotten have had the pic emailed to me.

I’ve had what appears to be that same jack for 10 years now. It’s been 5/7.

These are fairly new. The yellow Daytona jacks are apparently the exact same as the snap on. In fact snapon sued harbor freight over them. One I bought is the orange version. Which is like the non pro version if the rest if HF stuff. We'll see. Reviews are pretty good. I went to get the regular 3 ton low profile steel Pittsburgh one that you probably have that appear to be bullet proof. Hope I didn't screw myself

Photos.

I want to be able to print and see the results quicker than sending them out and hoping they look good in print when they come back. This way, if I want something printed on glass or aluminum I already know what it looks like on a non-backlit media.

I went full :troywax: this weekend:

$120 for new running shoes, I decided to go to the running store and get fitted/get an actual nice pair since my heal has been hurting from running and my triathalon is in a couple of weeks.

$170 for new Snell auto racing helmet, they won't accept motorcycle helmets anymore at my local track.

$40 for new mountain bike seat.

$60 for a couple of new pairs of pants to wear to work, as mine were worn out and looked shitty.

Pretty unusual for me to buy much of anything, so it feels like a lot, but I guess it's a bunch of stuff for the price of one pocket knife.
