OK, here come the "fun" post.
As some of my close r3v friends know, my older Brother suddenly passed away this fall. He and I work for the same parent company. He worked for The Ridge Tool Co. (Ridgid) selling to Home Depot, and I work for it's sister company doing the same. That being said, I now own his tool collection. While most of you know Ridgid to be a Home Depot brand, the name is only leased by Home Depot and is owned by Emerson Electric. Ridge Tool makes some of the best american plumbing and hand tools in the country. Here is a taste of what I am dealing with.
My brother's box (black) and mine (red).
bottom drawer... what's in that ridgid case?
A compact SeeSnake of course!
Next drawer old school Husky set
Next hand cutting tools
Next
Next sample pliers from Ridgid (none of these were sold at retail).
Screwdrivers all unused
Specialty screwdrivers and nut-drivers (unused)
On top of that, all his leftovers
Samples that were never sold at retail, but were sold to STAFDA houses
Also a ton of wet-dry vac stuff
and not pictured would be all the plumbing tools. While my brother's death was and is a sad, sad deal for all involved, his tools will be used lovingly by me and his friends who also recieved TONS of his hand tools as well. It makes me happy to walk into my workshop and see his stuff sitting there waiting for me to use.
On more tool coming up!
