    Good for you, Stephanie! I love getting stuff like that for cheap. I'd love a good tool cabinet but have nowhere to put it. Sure would be handy, though.

    I like Craftsman stuff too, and I know Snap-On is high end stuff.

    That seems high for the drill press, but I don't know all that much about them. Mine is a cheapie from Ace Hardware, some weird brand. We paid about $60 for it. You could check out Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more and see what a new comparable one costs. Maybe take the Sears ad for the new one to show the lady if new ones are cheaper. Then again, Sears tools were made a lot better twenty years ago.

    Sounds like you got the perfect deal for your son and his reward for his grades. Nice find!

    I'll bet her spouse is smiling in his grave knowing his wife sold he stuff to someone who has a great appreciation for it.
