BC Fasteners tool sale.

Morning everyone,
Just thought I'd pass on a pretty good sale for the month of May.
https://bcfasteners.com/
They carry many good brands of tools of all kinds.
I bought a pair the of Knipex plier/wrench. It's like a super high end set of channel lock pliers crossed with a crescent wrench. The build quality is amazing. Even my wife (who isn't into tools) commented on how well made they look. And for 20% off too.
Check it out, you might find something you desperately need/want.

I have a few pairs of different sizes. They are a very good plier. My only complaint is that they seem to tarnish/rust rather easily. Best to keep them well oiled - especially the spring.

Good to know they can be had at Crappy Tire and Home Despots.
 
KMS also sells Knipex and puts them on sale often. I've had them in my cart often, but haven't yet managed to actually justify picking up a set...
