I prefer out of the Parkersburg-Clarksburg-Morgantown- Wheeling ( West Virginia) Area so I can pick it up.

But If the price is right, I can drive farther and pick it up.

 

 

Let me know what you got.

nothing wrong with using commercial electric tool bought at home depot, i have been in the trade for 36yrs and started using thier pliers, they are half the price of kliens and if for some stupid reason use might blow them up at least they are only 17.00 rather than 36.00-40.00 at least it will get you started again.

 

good luck and hopefully i dont live in the town in mass as you haha

]]>Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:16:54 GMT<![CDATA[RE:What is the best place to buy tools?]]> check your local pawn shops.... you may find some thing that looks just like what you had stolen. if yah get the meaning

 

so sorry this had to happen to you. but i am certain you have now learned the lesson most of us have already experienced once or 7 times!!!!!  out of sight is out of your hands into the trunk or back seat of the first lowlife jackwad who needs a fix or a drink.

good luck on the new job  and check the pawn shops....right now they have some some deals out there!

Hi.  I just signed up today and saw this thread.  where are you located?

]]>Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:06:18 GMT<![CDATA[RE:Seeking E1s for photovoltaic work in CT]]>Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:52:05 GMT<![CDATA[Where are all the people looking for jobs?]]> OK, let me preface my comment by saying no offense intended here.  In the Help wanted section, there are 9 posting with ONLY 2 replies to them, but in the Introduce yourself thread or in the looking for work by state, there appear to be lots of people out there looking for work.  So I have to ask "What gives guys???"  I posted a help wanted in both the Introduce section and under help wanted.  I got 3 replies.  All from out of state people.  While I have no problem hiring someone from out of town, I am reluctant to ask anyone to relocate, when you don't know whether they are going to work out or not.  So I am wondering; for all of you that are unemployed, are you looking at our postings?  Or are you waiting for something to come to you?

]]>Mon, 9 Aug 2010 03:00:15 GMT<![CDATA[RE:If do not get Hired soon]]> So many companies now seem to be about production over quality.  I've learned that if everything is planned right on a job, you don't need to worry too much about production.  I've been on jobs where the foreman worried about production and made the workers look for hours for material that he should know whether or not he has and where it is, and I've been on jobs where we didn't closely watch production and the time spent on planning more than made up for production.  This just shows that production is really just a guideline and a little planning goes a long way for exeeding production with efficiency.

]]>Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:56:52 GMT<![CDATA[RE:If do not get Hired soon]]> I feel your pain... I was out of work for soooooo  long! I had the hardest time finding work and when I did, It was for HALF the pay. I'm not selling my tools though. Little by little I am building them up, along with a well stocked van so I can set my own rates and hopefully make something good of a bad situation. 

A little careful planning and we all should be able to make a decent living again. After all, the real estate market is still booming (it's just in foreclosures) and the people buying still need/want work done... I hope.

Would be interested in seeing a list of what you have for power tools.......always looking to add to my tool list.

Best Wishes,
