She is just mad that you were happy at finding the wrench and that her mere presence will never have you beaming from ear to ear like the wrench did.
Someone will call the "You need it how bad?" man and pay $350 for it now.
Part of me feels sorry for the guy that said it'll be fine on the bumper for now, there's no way I'll forget to put it away before I drive off.
Sexy!
Some dumb bastard is having a good cry whilst you now have a nice, shiny ratchet. Good find! Gimme a few, and I'll show you what $80 would buy you in Snap-On in 1975.
My late father only used Snap-on tools as an antique car restorer. The big old Snap-on tool van used to pull into the driveway and I remember as a kind thinking my dad was the coolest.
In my case, I was a young grease monkey in a service station pulling down about $2.65 an hour. But that's all it took for the Snap-On man to extend credit. Bought a 3/8" socket set in a red mechanics box for $80 on time payments that were taken out of my paycheck for Lord knows how long. Still have it - good investment!
Those red Snap-on tool boxes were as sturdy as their tools.
Here it is. Sadly the original ratchet was stolen from my truck when I had tire work done back in 2018. Manager swore up and down it wasn't his guys - none used Snap-On tools. He turned into a dick when I told him it was on the floor of the back seat when I dropped it off, and I just wanted it back. He pretty much told me to pound sand until I stated I would call the police - at which point he offered to buy me a replacement. I told him to pound sand - I didn't do business with firms employing thieves, and called the police right in front of him.
Long story short, someone wound up getting arrested, I wrote the home office telling them the branch was shitty and needed purged, I never got my ratchet back nor restitution but that branch got closed and tuned up 6 months later.
Bought the replacement out of my own pocket a couple months later - believe it was $137. I laughed so hard when he told me the price, he must of thought I was psycho. Then I told the story and showed him the set.
Nice work.
Finders keepers, losers pay two hundred dollars.
They get it on credit... So it's 300
