I'm at work and my wife texts me "a big package just showed up for you"
i scramble through my ebay and amazon history to see what i was forgetting about and find nothing...
I had her send me a pic of what was inside and i get this...(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170918/bec6f6c49062db1fba8b7d214e3dd273.jpg)
She says it's from joe ball... according to google, joe ball was a serial killer in the 1930's, can't be the same guy...
So i text Jeff (LightningBoldtz) and he's acting pretty shady too but informs me Joe Ball is aka Jebiv...
So i haven't got to the bottom of it yet
to be continued...

@JEBIV you are not a serial killer from the 1930's are you?
...you'd better go ahead and forward that package to me for proper disposal. Just to be safe.
The suspense is killing me... still another 5 hours until i get home!

Not sure if
@JEBIV is Italian but I would not have your wife open the package. If there is a pair of pants with a fish wrapped in them, it's not a good sign.

I am the fourth and my Grandfather who was JEB senior was born around 1912 but never heard any mention of him being a serial killer if he was he got away with it he passed in 1987 while living with us in Atlanta LOL

Pretty neat gift. Klein tools are sweet.
Years ago when I worked at a stereo store all the installers used a Klein 1005. "Get you one of these. Do not get anything else that merely looks like this" was what I was told. They were right. It doesn't look like much but for cutting small wires and crimping small butt connectors there remains none better. Does a better-than-decent job stripping the insulation off, also.

One of these days I'll find where I misplaced mine. ::)
That is amazing! Such a great community here.

Klein is definitely the standard for electrical tools. Funny story about those... back when i started as an apprentice, the first company i worked for would give a list of tools you need to have. One thing on the list was "T & B Buchanan crimpers". I searched high and low for these and finally special ordered them from somewhere and paid a premium. I went months without using them and finally asked my journeyman what the purpose of this tool was and explained how hard they were to find. He pulls out some klein crimpers that are identical to what i had except my handles were black and orange instead of red. He then lets me know that the kleins are readily available at any supply house for a fraction of the price. Turns out, my fancy "T & B Buchanan" crimpers were just rebranded kleins. Buchanan is actually the small copper ring that is used to crimp bare copper wires (what you use the "non-insul" part of the crimper for) i still have those 15 years later and sort of chuckle about how "green" i was at one time every time I see them in the retired tools drawer.

@Mkrause &
@mhiszem lol - My package was a purchase from JEBIV. It just happened to be delivered on the same day. Talking with Joe behind the scenes, seemed like a good opportunity to create a little head scratching for Mkrause. Here's what my box contained:
