Well they're too big and I'll be returning them.
I will probably just go with the same boot I'm currently wearing but I wouldn't mind finding an all black US made traditional Chukka.
Whatever I wear definitely has to be traditional looking.

Scratch that, I can't return them.
I stupidly took the tags off and they wont take 'em back now.

Because my feet just don't have much fat on them I dont think I can wear pull on boots.

My dad wears the same size as me but has more fat on his feet than me so if he can wear these he can have 'em.
I learned my lesson,  and I'll just have to go with another pair of lace up conductors.

A new one for me. Have been fighting the Allis Chalmers injector pump. its been giving me fits. I was gonna pull the top off and look around but none of my security drivers would fit. torx is 6 sided but these were 5 sided. Found out I needed a pentalobe bit. didn't have a clue what size it was so I ordered a set. will probably never need them again but I got em.

Ford use them so you might need them again. Not something I'd expect to see on what I'm guessing is a fairly old tractor though

New to me trade in on the tool truck. Been looking for an air hammer that's a bit shorter then my current one.

Great old hammer Tim. Those were a big seller some years ago, and pretty powerful for being a short barrel. They were better than most of the other shorty competition models.

got this yesterday

[torqueman2002]

I was minding my own business,  right.

Anyway, I spotted these on CL and just had to buy them.

Now I have the problem I can imagine jeffmoss26 ^^ might have -- do I use them as a tool should be, or keep them nice and pretty?

[fatfillup]

To Jeff and Torqueman, I say use them.  That ratcheting screwdriver is one of my fav SO tools.  The Cman stones are certainly cool unused in the box, but how many folks would appreciate them(present company excluded)

[hickory n Steel]

Nice stone, but you can still get a brand new Norton of equal quality today if you need a user.
It wouldn't take long to wear off that Craftsman logo either.

Bought this on Ebay to replace the set my dad gave me as a kid, if the 2.5" adjustable in these sets is a legitimate tool then I made a tool purchase.
If not it's a novelty collectible purchase.

Yesterday I ordered a new pair of the justin conductors I currently wear for work, and got an email that they were out of stock and the size is being discontinued and they were refunding me.   

Tthat total was $210 shipping included which was too much compared to the $169 I scored the last pair for from workboots.com, but it was I thought my only option left for a black traditional American made work boot.

Well I went back on Google to see what I could find and what do you know I found a nice pair of  recently discontinued Chippewas in my exact size on clearance from $200 down to $99 from the place that refunded my money minutes earlier 
I did a quick search online and they are American made, and the regular price was right on   

Everything worked out great, because I got a higher quality boot ( Justin's are fine, but the leather is a bit looser in grain ) for half the price 
I've been wanting to try a pair of Chippewas and this was just the opportunity,  too bad I won't be able to get another pair if I like them.
I had originally thought I'd be able to get my Justin's resoled, but last winter before I had my boot dryer they got wet a lot and wounded up with a damp sponge kind of smell I can't get rid of.
If I take better care of these they can get resoled, with a Goodyear welt it's a one day thing.
They just peel the outsole off and glue a new one on.
I've learned that the Obenauffs heavy duty LP just wasn't quite enough for my needs if you don't reapply offen enough , this time I'm gonna go with SNO-SEAL.

[hickory n Steel]

Danm I just can't catch a break when it comes to work boots.

They're great and they fit well, sadly they are not actually slip resistant as they were advertised and I can't wear them at work.
I was suspicious when the Vibram Gumlite soles didn't say slip resistant on them, but I tried them earlier and didn't take more than a minute of walking to realize they were a no-go and I had to change into my Justins.

[torqueman2002]

Too bad. Nice looking American made boot!
