Folks, we have another opportunity to grab onto a pair of 3rd Hands. One of our members wanted to thank Fastcap for their donations in the past while making a donation himself. So he purchased a pair for the high bidder in this auction. We therefore have another pair up for bid.
And another use for them p(r)opped up yesterday. On a kitchen remodel I needed to jack the front of an existing soffit up before sheeting with plywood. Clamping a laser to one 3rd Hand, I used two others to raise the soffit to the line before nailing off. Worked perfectly. Luckily I had more of them, as the others were in use in the customers family room, sealing the area the plumber was working on in a copper pipe changeover.
So here's the chance to increase your tool arsenal, while providing the loot to keep this message board open.

Thanks Matt. Nice to see you, been busy?
These ratcheting extendable poles will definitely be of benefit. I know you could have used several on that U. project.
So we have a bid of 25.00. Who'll sweeten the pot a bit? There's direct free shipping from Fastcap. These are a real bargain, ask Armin.
We got 25, what say you?

Shipping on that would be cost prohibitive I hope.
Looks like if I did the math right, that's a bid of 75.68.
Am I close ken?
And since this response has been so generous, I'd like to include a bonus. I purchased several of the UniversalFOOT ends for both the 3rd and Little Hand. Since they come on the Little Hands already, I've got extra. I used them on the 3rd Hand to hold up the refrigerator cab while fastening. It gives more stability and a free standing feature (don't count on it if knocking it over results in the homowner's china taking a dive). I think they retail for 5 bucks ea. and I'll include one for each 3rd Hand. I'll have to send them from here, the 3rd Hands will come from Fastcap.
So, we now have however many pennies ken has put up.

Yeah jon, now you're talk'in!
Back to whole numbers.
I think.
Bid is 7568 + 432...............
So, I'm thinking 80.00?
Is that it or can we expect some other combination of numbers?
