So my new grinder is Milwaukee...lol. screw dewalt

 

i can attest to the fact that my corolla with almost 800k on it and 14 years under its belt. Drives like a new car still. (all ive replaced is the struts all the way around)

 

no its a nearly 25 year old sears shopVac and still running very well!

 

I have there 5” m18 grinder

 

where the heck have you driven 800k miles in 14 years?
@1997tacomav6 only has a little over 600k in 22 years

 

I went with a corded 4.5". Dont need cordless. Cutting elevator parts kills batteries fast. Solid steel.now my m18 impact is a godsend...love that thing.

 

the car does about 140-170 miles a day every day of the week.. my father still drives it to work. hes been doing that since it was new.

plus a few cross country trips

 

that is some major mileage!

 

Show 'Dark' on Netflix is aptly named, goddamn. Pretty twisted. Leave it to the Germans

 

Yeah i only have to make small cuts here and there. Its better for me to be cordless because then i dont gotta worry about power on a roof or i can work in the back my van making something.

Last week i had to buy 200’ of extension cord so i can run my vacuum pump on a roof

 

yup. my 01 taco had 287k in 2005. its sitting at just under 300k now..

just wish the corollas ODO didnt stop at 299,999 (they all do that from that generation.) so im at a guesstimate of mileage based of when i do oil changes. which are about every 20k

 

Damn..boss thought i was crazy cause i carry 100' of ext.cords as a service guy .

 

whos got a solar battery tender? thinking about getting one to keep my spare batteries charged (i have 3 group 27s sitting around..)

 

Some times you gotta do what you gotta do to get power at a work sight lol

 

i typically carry around a mini reactor

 

But i also get to do repairs. So I need work lights when i pull pistons apart to repack the seals. Got one Thursday, ill be 50' up standing on a cab, with only the brakes holding me up..

 

Personally no. But ik a guy who runs one for his merc with no issue. Always started right up even after long periods fo sitting

 

M18 rocket is great. 11 hours of run time on a 5mah battery on the middle setting

 

i just need to keep them topped off.. i leave them out in the shed. rather not leave them plugged into a wall and risk that mess being a problem..
