What's your latest purchase?

I absolutely love mine. I recently used it to level a 4 ton robot at work with the big battery on it. Absolutely ate anything I threw at it. Granted I didn't need to move it very much. At most 10mm distance. Simply a phenomenal tool.

 

Understand. We had a $55K house bought in 1983 that was paid for. We had to sell and move because our youngest daughter was was going to graduate with a degree in crack whore. The school zoning changed. We bought a new house for $300K plus. She turned out fine, masters from W&M. I've still got a mortgage, but worth it.

 

Interesting. Did she have a double major to go along with that?

 

What brand is that?

 

I've spent a couple grand on new tools this last couple months with all my home projects but still infinitely cheaper than hiring out. At least that's what I tell my wife. My favorite purchase by far is this guy, it's so quiet

 

This guy is not so quiet but payed
for itself with the new floors and shiplap

Shiplap before floor demo


New floors

 

Thats my next tool purchase. I need a good table saw. My miter saw will thank me lol

 

That one is only 300 bucks at lowes. It has a nice fence system too. It slides around on a rail so you only need to check it for square once, then it's good everywhere you move it. That's been so nice with all these different floor cuts I've been making

 

In the end, she had a BA in English Literature and an MS in education. So, yeah worth it.

 

where did you get that shiplap ? looks nice !

 

Mahindra. Indian company traditionally, but these tractors are entirely USA made (got their USA start in Texas, sounds similar to tundras eh?)

This is the eMax20S hydro model .. got loader and mower deck. couldn’t pass up the 90 days no payments and 0% interest for 60 months with 0 down

 

I’m familiar with them, few dealers around here in VA, good tractors. Just didn’t recocognize it from the picture, looks badass!

 

Just ‘cause? It’s nice to have friends like that.

 

Well yeah, kinda I suppose. I told him the meter I had wasn't living up my needs so i was planning on purchasing either a Fluke 117 or Klein MM700, both around the $100 mark or so and fairly common. Would have never even looked at a model in price range of the 179!

 

Those are beautiful!

 

Thanks, its this one at Lowes

The best tip I can give you is the owner's manual is your friend. There's so many functions. I've used the temperature probe a lot for HVAC troubleshooting and the capacitance feature several times on my AC and pool pump.

 

I have had one for almost 3 years..so far so good! THe quietest so far! Money well spent.

 

Popped into my local Rural king located in BFE Kentucky.
This red wall tempts me everytime...


Wouldn't be Rural king without a rooster strutting around.

Alas, I did not purchase any new red tools.

The need for torque wrench is in my future, and the time to buy is now.

 

I sold Milwaukee tools for an industrial distributor for a few years right out of college back in the early 90's.
They make such high quality, contractor-grade tools. Don't blame you for being tempted by the red wall!

 

Did the same thing last week

Menards on clearance for 69.99

 

Coronabux came in so made good on my promise to grab one of those new Stillen CAI’s for the Tundra.

I’ll report in what I think of it after it arrives. I don’t believe I’ve seen any reviews on it yet.

 

Do you have hose direct tank? No pressure regulator? Someday I would like a big tank like that in my garage..

 

Yea no pressure regulator always wanted one with a air dryer or filter but never got one it’s been running like that for 18 years now no issue I do drain the tank before winter every year only little sludgy oil comes out but not much I don’t run it as much as I used to but works great

 

Three things. New steering wheel. Need to figure out the silver button dilemma. And a 5 burner grill. One sear Burner and a side burner. And a new umbrella from Home Depot. Think it’s 11 or 12’

 

I was hoping you were going to say you got a new dog....

 

1st gen DECKED system for a steal. It’s for the short bed version and I have a standard bed but that is fine with me a little extra full depth space in the front

 

Some Lake City 5.56 M193 came through today....

Also picked up the Lexus today after a year long debate about blacking out the chrome window trim and smoking the front Lexus emblem.
I hate chrome and always delete the window trim, but a buddy talked me into keeping it- and I hated looking at it every day. Finally had the time to take it in this week and support a cool family business I’ve been taking my rigs to for 15 years.
Soooo mucho betta! Lol


Chrome before

Goodbye chrome

I think they went too dark on the front emblem. I’m taking it back to go a little lighter on the tint so the “L” shows through a little more.
