I lost my house and home shop in 2005 to a flood so I realize the importance of insurance and receipts. So much of what i had was collected over 40+ years and some even older tools were handed down from my Dad. Many of these things you just do not have receipts for. Now, with a new shop and a new digital camera I photograph everything and keep all receipts and scan digital copies to a disc.

I owned a supermarket once which burned to the ground electrical fault the insurance company did everything they could( a. ) not to pay the full amont and (B.) to delay payment for over a year during which your interest on your loans went up substantially by 30% they are shysters and make no mistake they will eventually whittle it down the told me I was under insured and paid out eventually 60 cents in the diollar or 60 pence to the pound fortunately I didn’t have all my eggs in one basket and survived but I never trusted them again or will ever.Alistair

I’ve put the serial numbers to my tools that have them on a web page. Hopefully if someone finds a “too good to be true” deal they’ll search on the serial numbers before they buy.

And I search on serial numbers before I buy used stuff.
