Raise your hand if you went to Tractor Supply...

And bought something other than what you needed. Bought security bits I will probably never use. But I have them.

33 pc 3 inch plus adapter for 6 bucks.

I do that at Ace Hardware. Maybe I'll be less likely to do that now that I'm retired. I'd stock up on tools just in case I lost one out in the field.

I bought a set of those 25 years ago, before I'd ever heard of Tractor Supply. I have used a couple of the bits in the set, though I dont' think they were 'security' ones.

I rarely find tools at yard sales. Just baby clothes and "art".

I rarely see tools at yard sales. Mostly baby clothes.

A while back I was checking out, and the cashier picked up a red plastic something to show me. It was a trouble light / flashlight. Two LED panels, one for distance and one for wide area. Three brightness settings. Magnetic base. Hanging point. Came WITH the batteries. Five bucks! Still using it often.

No, you won't. You will see something you 'need'. I do it all the time. Luckily I can't get in a Snap-On truck...

I thought I needed an Oscilloscope, but after I posted here and figuring out that I would probably only look at a sine wave once I let it drop.

My new interest is a Thermal Imager. I can't decide to go cheap with a Klein or bigger bux with a Flir. I think I have some uses for it.

My wife is no help. If I don't buy it on the spot and express interest in it she will buy it for me.

Lead me into temptation...

Judging from the nests I saw when I was mowing the lawn this morning I could get a nice shot of the deer camping on it.
