What's your latest purchase?

They definitely make some nice stuff.
We used to use Panasonic drills for years they were a great drill then the quality started to slip.

 

Well said and I will add to this that as a guy who does use his tools to make a living the power of the readily swapped tools from Home Depot has advantages often much greater than the extra design and construction features of less available options like Festool.

I have been 1500 miles from home a few times on a job when I needed a replacement tool right now and I can get that pretty easily with Milwaukee,Dewalt,Makita or Bosch!

I love and am Panasonics Bitch in many ways but I need support more than small improvements in performance most of the time.

YMMV for sure!

 

Vortex tri glide chain and steel sprocket replacements.

 

Will have to check it out! Mainly needed the chain so I'm hanging onto the old sprockets just in case. Revzilla had a sweet package deal for all three so I couldn't pass it up!

 

A pair of new GMRS radios which was supposed to be the latest and greatest until a week later when there was a new latest and greatest. They were backed up on orders for a month so they are arriving today.

 

Wise choice, you have made.

 

Actually ended up downsizing to the TECH-PAC-MC-LT

 

I have the big boy just sitting there empty right now as it is just not working for me due to weight but they didnt offer the MC sized one when I got mone too.

I will likely do the same as you some day though now I just use standard Tech-MCs and they are fine too.

What kills me about every Veto I have is that they just dont allow my tools a great fit really? I need hand tool AND Cordless tool storage AND some small parts storage and they are just not setup to handle all of those but just hand tools overall.

 

We’re a Milwaukee distributor at work, it’s become an addiction collecting…

 

I'm wondering what goes in the empty slot in my carrying case. Must fill all parts!

 

I totally feel your pain. I happen to stop at home Depot tonight to grab something for my garage walk past the Milwaukee pack out boxes just had to pick another small organized box up. Lol

 

Man I tried to buy my pick from HD a couple of weeks ago. The dude who had the key to the lockup came around said he'll be back in 5. Told him I know exactly what I want. Back in 5. I kept seeing him passing the aisle and even making eye contact 10, 15 minutes. My wife comes back around and was like "You haven't got it yet?" No screw it. I'll get it on line. I can be more patient waiting a couple of days than 20 minutes as the guy avoids me.
Bad thing is, when we go to check out her purchases, the douche bag is hanging out at the registers, eye contact again and he blast off. WTF?!

https://www.toolnut.com is where I got mine from.

 

Picked up a second set of Rock Warrior wheels with sensors and 35s with a good 80% of tread left

 

That's awesome. I check now and then but never see any local. Tons of Rock Warrior wheels in PNW.

Post pics once they are on!

 

It was a pretty dumb luck find honestly. I wasn't really looking for a second set, but saw them on marketplace and noticed they'd been up for about a week. Think it was cause they were just listed as 17" wheels for 5 lug tundra, no tag or description leading to them being Rock Warrior wheels.
I'll probably be swapping the tires to my first set of rock warriors since had I them powder coated about a year ago, but not really sure right now as I really want 37's for them. So might just post up the 35s for sale at a good price to get some money back on the purchase.

 

Just purchased the new Macbook Pro M1X. Been waiting for them to produce the MBP with the M1 chips instead of intel. Haven't bought a laptop in 9 years so we're due up. But damn have they got expensive.

 

New anchors for out back

 

Did you buy the 14in or the 16in?

 

Was reading about the new macbook, sounds like its going to be a powerhouse!

 

Ordered a Pixel 6 Pro 256gb yesterday in Black.

I've always stayed a generation or two behind. I purchased my Pixel 3xl used when the pixel 4 came out, its been a great phone but the battery is getting a little weak, and it only has 64gb of storage so i stay under 10% free.

Decided i'd jump in on the new Tensor (probably gonna be a little finicky in the beginning) but i'm stoked. Ordered a case and they came with a set of pixel buds for free.

helluva camera bump

 

I've been holding off until they moved to the inhouse M1 chips vs intel so I'll get to see how it truly performs vs benchmarks. Kind of went ham and bought the top but like I said, last time was 9 years ago lol

 

whats the specs on it?

 

I just purchased a spot for 4 new ASE tests. Didn't need them working on Freightliners, don't really need them working on Euros now but they look good.

Damn they're expensive.

 

My six year old wants to race quarter midgets so it’s time to start gathering gear. Got him a Bell GP2 helmet for his birthday coming up.



Also some G-Force racing gloves. I would have killed to do this when I was a kid…

 

Good investment in your future though!

 

Did you get to try the Parish / GN collab?

 

No - looks like that one was before I was introduced to GN beers. But the Blueberry Mochi sounds very interesting...
