I think I’ve been around for a while, and this is one that we always pull on the new guys when we send them out to the truck for a tool. Maybe I haven’t been around long enough because I just googled this think to see if it actually exists. Is this guy brazen enough to try to pull a scam like this? Or am I missing something?

I'll sell you one for half that, he must be nuts!
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
thats what I was thinking, but if I were trying to scam someone for a non existent tool, I'd rather them send me money and I'll ship it to them. This guy wants you to come pick it up.
Stu Pedas Tools????
yeah, he's a jokester
made by Stu Peda's tools
what do you think?
yeah, I didn't catch that till you guys posted it here, and i looked at it more carefully. Why would someone take the time to post something so ridiculous?
Anybody notice the disclaimer at the top?
Avoid scams by dealing locally. LOL.
> Why would someone take the time to post something so ridiculous?Uh ... Consider your current audience.

Write him a note and tell him you need a diesel fitter in a panty hose factory. Pays $80k a year plus full bene's and 5 weeks vaca. and he seems like a perfect candidate.
You know the guy, he stands at the end of the line and says "deisel fitter"
When I first got off the boat with my brother we looked for work. After two weeks of looking I finally get a job in a ladies underwear factory. The boss tells me $5.00 per hour and I start in two weeks. My brother applies later on in the day and gets hired at $20.00 per hour and starts the next day. I go back and ask the boss "what gives,you hired me at $5.00 and I start in two weeks,you hire my brother and he starts tomorrow at $20.00 per hour.
The boss says to me, your brother has a very important job, he's a diesel fitter. I asked him if he knew what a diesel fitter did. He said no,but it sounds important.
I told him back in the old country I did the last thing on the assembly line,sewed the crotches in the ladies drawers. My b rother was the inspector,he checked them out and hollered "deese ill fitter ,deese ill fitter!

Call him and ask him if he has a left-handed smoke shifter.
That guy must be trolling for maroons.
As for me, I'll never fall for anything like that again!

when i was much younger i worked in a auto parts store (they had a few stores in the area). when it got slow and we were bored, we would call the other stores and ask if they had parts that didn't exist.

think about it.
The Stupeda Strectcher is my favorite tool. I just rocked a 200 board house using only 100 sheets. Saved almost $1000.00 in material alone. Hopefully the mudstretcher will be out before I start finishing. $250.00 is a bargain. The new in the box version is $350.00

I got a stretcher stretcher. Saved over $100 on the stretcher.
