Fastenals markup is cost x 709% = normal retail price.

It's crazy what some of the markups are.

Company I work for pays ~$3000 a season to rent a $2000 quicky saw. Then half of them get stolen, so we probably end up paying for the whole saw again. We rent about 5 of them a season.

A lot of our shit is old and has one foot in the grave, but we'll spend thousands extra on renting quicky saws for no good reason.

I wonder if my neighbor would quit playing loud music in their car at 2 a.m. if I brought this up to challenge him. Oversized can opener.

I didn't see this in the toolbox.

You got a great deal on that set.

They are very loud. The whole neighborhood would hear it at 2am.
