The other day while I was sitting in the customer waiting area of our local Farmer's Coop service station while a set of tires were being mounted on my pickup, I checked out the available reading material. A Mac tools catalog was included, so I leafed through it. I couldn't believe the prices.
A set of 8 slip-joint pliers, commonly referred to as 'water pump' pliers was priced at $649.00 for the set. That's an average of $81.00 per pliers. Do people actually go for deals like that? Although there was a significant difference in size between the largest and smallest, the individual pliers were close enough in size to the next one I'm not sure why one would need eight of them.
