I think they figured if it's husband and wife they can sell one set of tools if it's just one or the other that makes room for another tool buyer but that thinking lost them a good customer or two I never went back to that store.

or they just had a couple bad couples lol. it happens.

I think it's more likely what Chuck said!

And knowing how my husband was always 'borrowing' stuff (tools, etc.) from me, and not returning them, I'd want my OWN set of tools, and I'd lock them up if we were both doing leathercraft!

After he died, I found my iron, my spare can opener and a whole bunch of other stuff down at his apartment building. I remember specifically asking him about both the can opener and iron, and both times he shrugged and said, "I have NO idea where they are!"

My wife will ask me where i put something i had in my hands yesterday and i don't know and that's for real it could be a problem LOL and no it's not just her stuff.

Oh, he knew where they were all right! He borrowed the clothes iron to put veneer strips on the edges of shelves he'd bought, and he definitely did NOT want me to know about it! I would not have been happy!!
