Garage Shop: Tools

Got a full power rack now. Actually short 2 spots, my 3/4 has to sit in a drawer and my stubby half inch sits under the others

 

lol...

 

Bob needs a couple hutches.

 

If I'm not mistaken it was either a Snap-On or Mac Tool salesman stuck in the mud and @Blackout14 offered to pull him out for $50 a month!

 

I have a bunch of red stuff coming this week as well! Stay tuned on that front!

 

Is it bad if I have 2 M18 drills and impacts, plus M12 drill and impact, not to mention assorted other M18/ M12 tools?

 

I used to do installs for Directv and the M12 was much better to run around with on the tool belt. After I quit, it just kept going. Only bad purchase was the M18 leaf blower. Thought it would be easier with the gutters. Nope, back to going up with the gas powered.

 

They had an M12 batteries, charger and free tool deal today but it was a crown stapler, air compressor, LED light (not handheld per se), or something else that wasn’t of use to me.

This little radio is pretty nice, if it was one of my options I’d have went for the combo. Alas.

My M12 Fuel hex impact is one of my best tool purchases, it’s my best friend at work and the torque settings are so awesome.

I can fire 1/4” fasteners into threaded plastic panels and it torques out before it spins and strips threads. Excellent insurance in case my mind wanders from my task.

 

Any of the 4.0 batteries are usually a good buy too.

 

The M18 circular saw is pretty decent as long as you don’t use it to try and cut a 20” bench of laminated 2x4s lol

 

Gross lol

 

Stapler I actually would’ve bought. I don’t have one at home that isn’t an air tool. But, I have 3 2.0 batteries and haven’t needed any more juice.

Plus the radio was more appealing and I didn’t really want to spend $200. The radio and pliers were $128 OTD.

Only thing I wanted was the pliers. The radio was an impulse buy.

 

This is definitely is definitely my favorite tool.



And my big chonker of an air compressor that runs it.

 

Would you mind explaining more on the blower?

Matt

 

Air compressor needs an Aperature logo as well.

 

On the right in the photo (wood shop M18 set). About $100 but only meh power. Didn’t have high hopes in the beginning. It actually works decent on my back patio after mowing because it won’t blow the rug off but still gets the clippings. Not really great for much else.

 

Oh wow that is a lot smaller physically than I expected lol. Thanks

Matt

 

He gets that a lot

 

lol yeah it is. Thought it would be good for gutters without kicking wet leaves everywhere. Instead it only got the dry ones lol
