All gone, a Co-worker bough the last 4 ropes just a few minutes ago.
Deal Alert
- Thread starter jeepinmatt
- Start date
Matthews store still has a bunch plus the shackles. I got two shackles but no rope.
440.14 after tax and shipping. I didn't need another gun but it was a good deal
It's crazy how you can buy quality AR-15 variants for around $400 now.
My first one was a pre-ban A2 (pre-1994 Assault Weapons Ban). Given to me as a HS graduation gift during the Ban before it expired in 2004.
$1 in 1994 is equivalent to $2.17 today. So, roughly $950 back then, it would have cost $2,061 if bought today.
Moral of the story?
Investments in metals may vary.
Just to get REAL freaking crazy....
GOLD was $380/ounce in 1994. If we'd taken that $950 and invested it in 2.5 gold ounces.... It'd be worth $8,408 today.
And if I sold that pre-ban now? Sheeeet. I'd be lucky to get $500?

They still had 5 ropes and 4 shackles in hickory. I didn’t jump on it back when I posted this, but I’m in the game now

Sorry man. I honestly haven’t even looked but needed something else at the store and glanced through the coopins. Welp, don’t “need” new ratchets, how ever, whilst I’m here……

If its any consolation its them liquidating the G2s for the new G3s and they’ve already said if a G2 breaks they wont replace it with a G3 just refund purchase price. G3s are going higher

Interesting. 96 teeth too.
I find it interesting noone has the push-release button anymore. Thats a feature I really love on my old Craftsmans.

Same reason I bought em….
I don’t break ratchets near as much as loose them.
And when I do break them, I know it’s about to happen-typically

I know its not a deal, hell its even kinda expensive for what it is but I really love this little toolset from Harbor Freight.
I picked one up for the house to use working on bicycles and loved it so much I put one on the work truck with a set of 1/4" drive metric and standard sockets.

that looks like it would be low profile for torx and other bits?
