Now, that sounds more reasonable to me ......
The way things are going (I swear mrs humfrz can get something
for the granddaughters, next day delivery ...... FROM CHINA ! ......
), I thought maybe ol Snap-On would deliver, by drone, within hours and have the replacement tool set down on your shop bench .......
Ahhh, yes, the old days, decide what you want from the catalog, then you make the money (@$1.00/hr), save up, go to the catalog store in town, on the next trip to the feed mill, place the order, wait a few weeks for delivery, hop in the truck, on the next feed mill run, stop at the catalog store and pick up your item.
No wonder we didn't buy much ...... stuff!
