Thanks!

 

Thanks too!

 

Makes sense. We don’t have dogs due the the amount of dirt and dander. Pet hair doesn’t really get to me but these days pollen and dust sucks.

 

Two sinus surgeries later and it makes you watch what you are doing. They told me I’m basically allergic to just about everything outside but cats and rodents are the worst. Spring and fall is bad for pollen in my area. I love doing wood work but I have to dope up on Zyrtec and make sure I have a GOOD dust mask or respirator. Some you just have to make sacrifices to do what you want.
Edit: Our dogs are hypoallergenic.

 

I grew up with 4 cats and never had that issue lol

out of the cats ive had.. they've never played with the toilet paper.

 

I have been using Kroil for 15 plus years I pull the air tool trigger and give it a squirt .

 

i oil everything at home.



at work i havnt oiled my impact in 3 years... but not issues yet..

home they dont get used As much..

 

Just like Empty_Lord said, I oil mine at home before each use since they don't get used much at all because I have my electric Milwaukee stuff. When I used to work at a shop I would just put a couple drops in whenever I remembered to

Just a couple drops and then run it full trigger

thanks guys!

 

Very impressed with my new Forney Plasma cutter. It is a 120v setup but it cuts 1/4” steel. More than enough for my needs.

 

I’ve got a little miller plasma.. easily one of my most fun tools to use. Comes in handy a lot too

 

I guess I am just to old School and seldom do Aluminum or Stainless even though the plasma Cutter is right there I go for the Torch .

I tease my Hypertherm rep all the time who is going to be first to figure out a simple cost effective way to use a plasma machine to heat things like rusted bolts or bar stock to bend

 

just pulled the trigger on these today.Will update when i get them installed and all organized.

 

So I finally had a chance after the holiday madness to get back to several interior home projects of various types. First time I really used the new Wiha bit holder (on the left).

Awesome. My interior-work small tote toolbag hardly notices it's there, and if you stick it in vertically, it doesn't fall to the bottom under all the other sharp pointy things.

And the bits are nice and hard! I see them lasting much longer that the other typical domesti-china brands.

 

Got myself a harbor freight pressure washer. I didnt need anything crazy, just something to wash my cars. I've seen good and bad reviews so I got the warranty. 100% money back if it breaks. Also bought some attachments on Amazon to convert it to use standard nozzles and I also picked up a cheapo foam cannon. $150 all in so not too bad. Used the pressure washer in stock form to wash my car and I was pretty impressed. Cant wait to try it out with the new wand and nozzles.

 

I blame this thread for my new box lol! Now to fill it . . .

 

FTFY

 

And couldn't be happier!

 

Ok started the reorganization. Iam currently making a list of more socket organizers to order.
but this is what i got so far.
