New England B.S. Thread

I bought the machine and everything from nespresso, if they have sales its just as good priced as from Amazon and I have a proof of purchase right there with the company, making any issues easier. I paid around 100-120 for mine depending on when I got them, all the single serve ones. I know they have fancier expresso machines and maybe even coffee ones, but the small ones do the trick for me.

EDIT: looks like 35% off all machines right now on nespresso.com

Road was dry so it was good, but we have been getting a VERY wet snow to where it's almost rain for the past 3 hours now. I think someone I talked to today said we might get 5-8 tonight,so we will see!

 

That is a killer deal!!! I got the 1/2 inch impact gun a few years back and it was within $50 of that kit by itself back then

 

Would be awesome!!

 

The way I budget I have some money from every check allocated to things like this, but I already have it planned out for house projects this month and next. So, unfortunately I can't really purchase it responsibly.

 

I was looking at the prices on their website. The Amazon prices were the same as the discounted Nespresso prices. I went with Amazon because their descriptions were much better ofmthe machines. The Nespresso descriptions sucked and were half in Italian because they’re trying to be fancy... I just want a good cup of coffee!

Seems irresponsible not to purchase it

 

I looked them up earlier when you guys were talking about them. Closed their site after 5 minutes because I was as confused trying to figure out what machine does what, as I am when I look into dash cams and give up 5 minutes later.

 

I agree, their site is maddening. That alone drove me away to go order from Amazon.

 

No actually, the topic is usually how few teeth folks from a northern New England state have...

 

Don't do it, those are the brushed tools, get the brushless Fuel tools, way way way superior. The M18 battery is good but the impact and drill are brushed in that kit.

This is the kit you want, make sure you buy brushless, it makes a huge difference in cordless tools https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...eries-1-Charger-2-Tool-Bags-2997-27/305119810

 

While i will agree, for the price, its a win.
Ive had my M18 stuff, just shy of 10 years. The impact is 7 or 8 years old, and the grinder...5 or 6...

I also have a decent selection of m12 stuff.

FWIW, I live by my tools. These are not babied shelf trophies.

 

Yeah, that is a good point.

I also debate on sticking with Makita. My batteries are getting tired and the only thing I have of value from them is a drill, so now is the time to switch if I am going to. I am a little partial to it...everyone who uses it comments on how nice it is, it just feels like it is super high quality. And those 18v LXT batteries have lived 6 years and were in a very hot or very cold shed or garage for most of their lives so they owe me nothing.

 

Oh I didn't notice that, good catch. Mine is the Fuel. I will say, IMO for people that are not using those tools everyday for thèir jobs that is a great deal!

 

I started with dewalt on all my 20v stuff and now I'm starting to invest in the M12 series from milwaukee - that lineup just has so many useful tools... Down another rabbit hole I go with power tools....

I still love my Dewalt impact gun though..

Also buy this - https://slickdeals.net/f/12356431-noco-gb40-1000a-lithium-jump-starter-68-59?src=frontpage

 

Mine were all pictures but also have some tweak that make them truly mine..check my album

 

The noco jump starters are the real deal. I've sat with cables jumping my polaris ranger for an hour multiple times to have it not start up because the electronics on them suck. Plug in the Noco and its running in less than 30 seconds. Keep one in my truck and my wifes car at all times, used it to jump a few cars at work as well.

 

They did. I probably should have but I didn't want to deal with the hassle or lose the deal I got. So I just sucked it up because I really don't need them but they got ordered anyways....

She was looking for cheap so the hybrid was out of her price range.

 

Anyone interested in a black softopper and a rack that goes over it I traded my 2011 for a 2019. I've read it doesn't fit. Topper is in good shape. Needs a good cleaning. The rack was trimmed so it sits lower to the topper. Same rack on soft toppers site. Figured I'd put the feeler out in here. Will fit 2nd gen short bed. Only thing you would need are three button screws for the front flap.

 

Morning all! Happy snow day, even though I'm at work...

The Keurigs? Or the percolators?

 

I only had maybe 2" of snow, but I think the hilltowns got close to a foot. This was my drive in, and the banks were higher at the top of the hill:
