1002.15- Toolkit Complete

Save for a few tools that I need to pick up from -B at the airport, my toolkit is complete after a multitude of visits to Harbor Freight, Home Depot, and Lowe's, and orders from Amazon, Spruce, Avery, Brown, and Cleaveland. A few hours of research and an Excel spreadsheet really helped out for comparing prices and (mostly) ordering from the cheapest bidder. There were some exceptions where I took the "you get what you pay for" approach and deemed some high-use items as worth the extra money. Glad to be done with the initial pain of that. I'm sure there will come many a time where I need something I don't have and will have to reorder, hence the budgeting and forecasting. -M.
