I'm ordering one of these:

Because if you wait until you need it, it's too late.

I don't have the Milwaukee version, but I have a right angle attachment and they are very handy for tight places.

Sorry I'm an old dirt bike fan so I mean Husqvarna....

I forget Home Depot sells "Husky" brand tools.

Well, I haven't updated in a while.

Armstrong steel faced ball pein deadblow hammer that was on sale on Amazon a little while back:



MAC screw starter from my dad - probably 25 years old. It holds the screw while you insert it into a hole, or at a distance you couldn't normally reach:



A couple of new MAC hard handled screwdrivers I stole from ebay:



One of my neighbor's employees lost my cold chisel that I loaned him, so he replaced it (even though I told him not to):



The top set is a used SAE 1/4" impact set I got on a trade - Proto Professional made in USA. Since I like "sets" of things, I had to buy the metric set new from the MAC dealer:



1/4" Armstrong USA NOS speeder that I stole off of ebay as well:



Picked these hose clamp pliers up on ebay for a sweet deal, too. Same as OTC, Craftsman, etc, but these are MAC branded:



That's it for now!

Scored this on ebay:



Got this off the mac truck - a deal I couldn't pass up and the handles are very nice:

What that kid did in 6.09 minutes would take me 6.09 hours. It looks like it would work great for the weekend warrior .... for one weekend. The light attachment was most impressive. ;)

Wow a lot of thought went into that thing. But it looks like a good tool set for an 10 yr old. Don't drop the trigger piec or you just broke all 19 of your tools.

Latest update for me.

I got an Arbor press for $75.



Over the last couple of weeks I also added a full size vidmar cabinet, another small one for under my work bench, a shelving unit and a two door cabinet. All this for great price of free.

Quote:

Wow! Anyone not familiar with Vidmar should know that they are very nice boxes. Any pics?

And nice press!

I'll get some when I get things straightened out. Also picked up a snap on roll around cart.

Picked these up tonight off CL for a steal. Snap On 12 piece snap ring pliers set:

A set of pliers for any snap ring.

Here's pics of the new items.
Vidmar


Shelve and cabinet


small vidmar


snap on cart


new kobalt bottom. The metal piece with handles is a small sheet metal bender.

Very nice, Mike.

CL score last night:

That is a good score Matt

I paid for the lot what it would cost to buy the puller set. Those stubbies and flex 1/4 are SK. Lisle puller set, Lisle bushing driver, ATD ball joint press, Lisle F250 seal driver (I'll sell that, no use), radio tool, misc panel tools, misc pullers, seal puller, lockout airbag, and a sledgehammer not pictured.

The seller was really cool, as well, and only lived a mile from me. I'm happy.

This arrived today....Proto USA metric hex socket set. Very nice.

I had a chance to use the Proto hex sockets working on the car. Very impressive quality.

Got this last week as a gift from my cousin - Matco 25-250 lb flex head torque wrench:



Picked these little items up off the Mac truck. I didn't think a battery terminal wrench was necessary, until I sparked the non-coated wrench off the cross brace while disconnecting the cable.

As stated in my Sunday post I picked this up last night.



Here's the link to the product page. My model is the 3100i

I picked this model because it allow you to erase ABS codes as well.

Not to bad on price got it for $140 at AutoZone.

Quote:

If you order that online it's free shipping plus 20% off plus a $20 gift card for cyber Monday.

Craigslist deal I picked up today:

Fh80
Fhx80
Shlf80a

The 1/2" is almost new, the flex 3/8 is in nice shape, the fh80 is a little banged up but has a new rebuild. I will get new comfort handles next week. I really only wanted the 1/2" but it was a package deal.

Handy:

Now I need a dog, and a dog shirt. I wonder if those come in kids' sizes

...this showed up the other day.....I fought them but they still unloaded it and left it......must mean I have to use it.......we are mowing more areas of the acreage now and the 08 Toro 50" needed some help so we got the new model.......seems to be a bit bigger in size and has a massive V twin 24.5 hp engine......only one cupholder though.........

Nice rig, Marcus! I have the much smaller 38" version. I think I got mine back in '05.

That mower would cut my yard, front and back, in about 3 minutes. It would take longer to get it out than it would to mow the back... and as long to get to the front to actually cut it.

nice piece!!!

Thanks Andy......ya we gots lots of grass to cut.....takes 2 of these....but the cost is still reasonable......some folks have $6 to 10K in a mower.....this one is 2800 bucks plus 500 for the bagger kit......still a bit but they are tough....

THAT'S A GOOD PRICE MARCUS.

That is a nice rig.

Quote:

Because any man worth his salt can hold his beer in one hand and mow with the other!

Nice setup!

....I'm thinking one of those Husker hard hats with the cup holder mounted to it.....maybe even a double cup holder set up with the tube feeding right into my mouth.....gotta stay hydrated you know.......

Quote:

Toro has some price incentives on the bigger mowers now.....so that helped......

Holy cow, I haven't updated this thread in a long time. Better grab a snack.
