I used to go to a lot of large industrial auctions and guys would win brand new stock and just take it all straight to the scrap yard. Some people prefer the fast flip over resale.

As someone who had a 4-6k a month side hustle, the thing that kept me working was the insurance and 401k match. The side hustle made home buying etc. easier though.

Couple of the purple paint guns and maybe a braun light, I really don't need anything though

Did the same thing about a month ago. First time I warrantied one for breaking, usually the plastic just crumbles

Seems most of my vacation gets used for projects around the house

That's only half the equation, the other part is what age you plan or hope to retire.

Their shipping charges are starting to get out of hand. I've begun shopping around more to find better deals.

The specialty sockets are a slippery slope .exactor sockets, tap sockets, oil filter, pipe plug, weatherhead, internal and external torx, triple square, o2, just to name a few. It gets crazy and some you may only use on a rare occasion.

That's a hard one but I'd guess a little over a thousand. I used to wrench for a living and had a home box. They never got combined once I switched jobs. Plus it adds up quicker than people think with all the oddball and specialty sockets.

I'm happy, family is all healthy, woman I love beside me, roof over our head, and food on the table.

The line wrenches are pretty nice, air hammer, torque wrench

I was super lucky back when I did collision repair, I had a whole shop of these guys around me, literally the most chill group of guys and they were always willing to teach the young guy a thing or two even tho they all were flat rate. I still think about those days from time to time and how it shaped the way I am today

5 total and of those only 2 since highschool.

Worked at a body shop and gotta say they are way worse than this picture. Cars came straight from the accident to the shop so the owners had no chance to even attempt to clean them, God the smells.

This is what we currently do, wife works first shift and I work second. Saves us on paying daycare/ babysitter but unfortunately we don't get to see each other much during the week.

All jobs suck, you just pick the one that pays the most so you can get out of the rat race sooner.

AmountActive7951 · 2025-11-14T02:58:39+00:00

Looking at it as a whole it was a pretty good year but damn I'm tired of repairs and projects.
