wow...I'm helping my brother-in-law start up a new company from scratch, the margin on his product (as a wholesaler) is about 34%,..thats just the margin on the product he's selling itself though, from manufacturing from raw materials to packaging.

Whats crazy is he'll sell a product for say 70 dollars a pail to a full service company, who'll turn around and charge the end customer about 190-210 per pail for it.

I've never even held a snap on ratcheting wrench. Keep that in mind when I say that the blue point ratcheting wrenches are by far the best I've used, or even handled.

Those Snap On scrapers are nice but don't you find that the edges get mangled and they don't work well anymore? If you're scraping PRC that is.....I'm assuming that's what you'll be using them on? I try to put the edge back on with a belt sander but they're never quite as sharp.

Even the cheapest of companies I've worked for gave us those things for free (usually Browntool).....as many as we needed.

Hey Boiler

If you ever get a chance try out a flank drive plus wrench, you'll be amazed. Get your SO man to show you how the FDP wrench works.

I have to commute into Anchorage now, it's 63 miles each way.... I work in the hangar in the winter, and will be out in the Alaskan bush in the summer... so no, don't ever really work close to home. lol

and sorry to everyone that's getting spyware..... I think it's imageshak...
I tried uploading pics directly on garage journal, but goes all the way through the upload process, then gives me an error message... I can upload 1 or 2 at a time and it's fine, but more than that and I get an error.....
