Be they filled with regret or joy, what did you buy? I bought this incredibly overpriced blue ink pen. Oh yeah, it’s cool looking and figity but at the end of the day it performs the same function as the free bank pen on top. Don’t regret the bolt action at all and is about 1/3 the price of ol’ blue. What’s one of yours?

Not owning up to it eh? Possibly not a subject you care to participate in. That’s ok. I can go it alone.

Bought a very expensive (by my standards) folder. CRK small Sebenza. Hated the studs and had a hard time opening it but once I replaced them to my liking, I’m really happy with that purchase. Carry it daily as my edc. It has replace the previously carried Benchmade tanto and Microtech LCC. It’s smaller, lighter and very capable of the tasks I sick it on.
Answers can be happy or sad. You choose.

Pretty much all of my flashlights!
I have a lot of those too. I put the older models in vehicles, bags, and stashed in various pick up and use locations as well as my pants pockets. There is always newer, brighter, easier to charge & longer lasting one’s coming out. I think I’ve about tapped out on em though. Very useful tools
 
Filled with joy, for sure .... interestingly enough, my wife negotiated the price with the dealer.

This tops MTP wasn't particularly expensive, but the common consensus seems to be that they're overpriced at $80.
I just thought it was cool and I do like to carry it, but it's definitely not my best cutting knife.

Here's another.
The maratac chickpea wasn't expensive, I just wanted it because it's such a bright little light and I thought it was cool.
Absolutely not a bad purchase at all, simply an impulsive one that I didn't need and had to find a purpose for.

The mass drop brass AAA that I EDC with it's nitchia LED only has 80 lumens, so I wear this around my neck for the odd occasion that I need more light.
 
Very nice TRX. I looked at Raptors but dont like the EB and couldnt afford the R. So I wound up with a 5.0 supercrew and some Fox/Icon suspension parts.

How is the TRX?
Phenomenal. And even though blasphemy I must admit I haven’t had it off road yet. It’s going, I just gotta find the right place and get sometime. There are different modes you can be in Ex: snow, tow, Baja, sport, street, and finally custom which you can make selections from other modes to your specifications. When i punched it the first time I thought I was gonna do a wheelie. Scared the shit out of me. Very fun to drive.

Nice. Im sure you will get it dirty once the newness wears off. Very cool truck.
 
Don’t have any pictures of them but I thought I “just had to have a Rolex”. Bought 2 new ones in about 6 months time. Rotated the wearing, one on my wrist and one in a winder. I kept em about a year and a half and sold both of them. Give me a good ol quartz movement that keeps crazy accurate time and I don’t worry about being particularly careful with. No regrets, glad I tried them out, just a lesson in who you are. I’m not a Rolex guy.
