How to save money on a tool. I came for a puncher, and it went up. One trick helped

Sometimes you save up for a tool, slowly, so as not to get out of the family budget. And when the coveted amount is collected, an unpleasant surprise awaits in the store, in the form of a lifted price tag.

Purchase

I noticed a puncher last year, I tell my wife, I need to buy my old, useless one already, this does not add joy to her, but she understands what is needed. I remember that it cost six with a ponytail, I come, and the price is almost seven and a half.

Please show me, you still need to repair it, the tool is ok, but the seller crumples when I notice a marriage on the case. One the clasp broke, the owner laments, the punch is the only one left, but says, understands that the thing is not repairable.

I support his opinion, the case is such a necessary thing, and here is such a shame. Generally, the theater did not last long, it offers a discount, I reluctantly agree, so as not to wait.

Case repair and unexpected discovery

I come home and immediately start to repair the case, without putting it on the back burner.

I cut out and bend the plasterboard suspension plate, fasten it with rivets.

The remainder of the black paint in the cylinder, very by the way, I bring the fastener almost to the factory state.

Glad to have cheated, and got a great discount for such a little thing, but it turned out that this is practiced by brand tool stores.

Now you know that packing can save you a lot of money.
