What are these for?

 

For them nuts in tight spaces.

 

Could not fit the crow in this
Had to make this up

My Milwaukee tool collection, finally consolidated into 1 cabinet.

 

Wow you don’t play around!

 

Doesn't Milwaukee make DeWalt or vice versa?

 

Nice tools BTW!

 

I dont think so.

 

Do it. I bought a $90 welder from harbor freights and started testing on scrap metal. My first project was a bed extender. Mind you it's a wire welder so it's easier to pick up.

 

Black & Decker owns Dewalt. Milwaukee is owned by TTI, a Chinese company. Both are made/assembled in the US from local and foreign sources. with the batteries made overseas. Here’s a good website which discusses who owns who:

Looks like you have at least on of the Milwaukee impact wrenches. I’m seriously considering pulling the trigger on one (pun intended). How do you like yours?

 

I have 2 of them, a mid torque and it's bigger brother. I like them. They do make a lot of the DIYs much easier. If you are going to get one I'd recommend the mid torque.

Thanks very much for the feedback! It’s always good to get info from someone who’s actually used the tool. I have a fair number of Milwaukee tools and have always found them to be tough tools for a fair price.

 

You're welcome. Agreed, their tools and batteries are top notch.

 

Did you run out of money?

 

Wall Control, I love it. I use that board for my tools as well!

 

I drank the red koolaid as well but still have some catching up to do.

 

Yeah

 

I'm a Ryobi nerd. They have so many tools available in their 18v One+ line. They just recently came out with 6Ah batteries, 2 for $119. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-1...city-Lithium-HP-Battery-2-Pack-P164/305571990

I don't use my tools professionally, but have seen many professionals using Ryobi. Can't beat their cost vs durability, I think.

 

I have a few Ryobi tools as well. They are great tools for the money.

 

Did you ever finish the sand blaster?

 

I have the same circular metal saw that's on your bottom shelf. Locally, they're pushing $500. I got mine for free from work. The dickheads figured it was burnt out and pooched so they were going to bin it. I snagged it, and took it apart. Just needs a $10 bearing.

This shit they throw away at work has me shaking my head on a daily basis.

 

I got equipment setup for sand blasting and powder coating but no time to play with them yet. Hopefully this weekend.

 

Nice!

 

I highly recommend the Flexzilla line of hoses. I have the air and I bought a 50' 1/4" hose for the pressure washer on sale at Farm and Fleet for like $30.00. Pressure wash hose has me annoyed just thinking about winding it back up.
