    Tool Replacing a spring punch tip

    Going out on a limb here but does the punch have a lifetime guarantee? I’ve been down that path with a Blue Point (Snap-On) punch. I told them the P/N and they sent out a new punch, no proof needed. Sadly the new one doesn’t work as well as the old …..but the old one was a really nice piece...

    Shake my head sometimes

    I am 100% in agreement! Things that arrive here for someone else either get hand carried to the correct address or back in the CP mailbox. D :cool:

    The hypocrisy and unfairness in schooling

    Lol! Great idea and they’re already sold out. Just for the record they’re still locally owned, no furrin fine print on the bottom of the label! Not being a big beer drinker I’m afraid that it’d be wasted on me, I’ll still raise a glass to salute the thought! :D D :cool:

    The hypocrisy and unfairness in schooling

    That’s the thing, at some point they decided that teaching grammar was not the way to teach English so even though (IMHO) I speak and write well it’s because it was spoken well at home and all around me so I learned it by example just like old fashioned respect and good behaviour. Now, don’t...

    The hypocrisy and unfairness in schooling

    +1 To your point I leaned toward candidates that got their hands dirty fixing their cars etc. (like farm boys) vs those that took them to the dealer and had no idea how they worked. D :cool:
