Thanks guys. He’s definitely been bitten by the tool bug. He’s already ordered Tekton’s biggest combo set, and a 3/8” service set on the way and his Christmas list is nothing but tools. We selected Tekton because I’m very familiar with them and admire them as a Company. Best mail in warranty and customer service in the business.  Lot of import stuff, but they’re adding USA stuff all the time and improving their line. He’ll get a lot of bang for his buck now, and when I’m gone he’ll have all the Proto and MAC he can handle. I gifted him a lime green dual 80 to get him started with a good rat.

I didn’t get into tools until I was 14, but he takes really good care of his stuff is is much more mechanical than I was at his age. One of those moments that a year ago I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to share and thank God that I do.

Is this your  secret plan to keep him out of your box?!?!?  :))

Absolutely! Funny though, My box was always open to him, but he keeps his box locked down!

Funny that! These days with the Internet it's easy for teenage boys to find "girly" pics online, but in my day all of my teenage gearhead friends kept our boxes locked because we didn't want our parents to find our stash of Playboy and Penthouse mags --- LOL

:)) I'll have to snoop in GFs box for those rare Playboy issues that are worth money these days. Got any of Marilyn?

Last I had heard playboy wasn't even putting "those" pictures in the magazine to go along with their written pieces. What is the world coming to.

I had a subscription to Playboy years ago.  It was really cheap, less than $15 a year, but the content was really turning into garbage and strongly exposed a certain political viewpoint.  I didn't renew it.

 Looks like a good setup thus far.  Way to go father and son.
