Another Grizzly thread...

[Dan Hintz]

I have a serious bone to pick with Grizzly, and I think it needs to be out in the open.

Their catalogs are freakin' huge! I don't have that kind of time in my life to peruse so many cool toys, and I certainly don't have the money to pick more than a smattering for my collection. Grizzly is a tool tease, and it's high time someone called them out on it. I think I've spent a good 10-15 minutes per night the last two weeks looking through the book page by page, and I'm only 2/3rds of the way through. I feel Grizzly owes me some money for another highlighter or two... mine is running out of ink.

Amy is giving me some serious stink eye every time the cap comes off of the highlighter (though I could be imagining it from my contact high with the highlighter's solvent). I had to flip past entire sections of the catalog because I knew there was no way I could fit the tools in the workshop. One wall was destroyed to get the Stinger in, I don't believe I can swing that hammer again.

Shiraz? You've been marked. Slim your catalog selection before my credit cards burst into flames.

Does this mean the new one is out?

ME too, Grizzly is getting hard to bear.

[Mark Ashmeade]

But then again, the Christmas mini-catalog was suitably concise. Bargains on every page!

[Glenn Vaughn]

Their catalogs are freakin' huge!

Grizzly's is not huge; my Allied Electronics catalog is 2206 pages.

Dan says the catalog is too huge.

To be fair I'd like to hear what short people say about it.

[Kent Parker]

Dan,

Maybe Shiraz could "Kindle" it for you.

[Matt Meiser]

Excellent idea (says the man with the Kindle on his wish list.) Course the photos would be B&W.

I feel your pain...I married an "Amy" that does the same thing!

[Rod Sheridan]

It's not the Grizzly catalogue I have a problem with, it's the Lee Valley Tools catalogue.

True tool porn.............Regards, Rod.

Personally, I like the size of the catalog. It is perfectly sized so that by the timne I get done looking thru one, the next year's comes out.

I then put the old one in the back of my pickup to aid with winter traction.

[David Helm]

You all must be slow readers. When I got this years catalog back in early January I had gone through it completely the first night (I always have something for bathroom reading). By now I know most of the woodworking stuff by page number, price and color. My complaint is that there is too much metalworking stuff in there. They could double the size with extra WW stuff.

[Ron Bontz]

For the love of humanity stop talking about it. Springfield is like a black hole trying to suck St. Louis in to the abyss of toy land. Er uh work tool land.

[glenn bradley]

I know what you mean. I spend time looking at metal working machines that I would never even be interested in. That Shiraz is a nefarious demon.
