About Jim Bode

I have always been a woodworker. My dresser in  my bedroom at age 6 had a vise mounted on it.

Over the years I accumulated some tools.  Most were given to me by my father and grandfather or picked up at yard sales.

My brother-in-law took me the the CRAFTS picnic and then the Crane's auction in Nashua in the fall of 1998, where I was exposed to a quantity and quality of tools beyond a tool collector's wildest dreams.  I bought so many tools that I needed an outlet for my old tools.  I could see now that I had no business hanging on to those old yard sale tools when I could buy any tool I could dream of ...provided I had the cash.  We discovered eBay as a source for the cash and more tools.  And so the 2LShark (pronounced Tool Shark) was born.

We took the hobby of tool collecting as far as a hobby could go, and it was time to get rid of my real job.  I'd been the sales manager at a large Nissan dealership for 20 years and 11 days.  My wife Patricia and I became full time tool dealers in October 2006, changing the name of the now huge website to jimbodetools.com.

...and I still have that vise.
