    In all honesty your probably better off with a shorter chord. If it has to be run far do that run with a good quality higher gauge extension cord.

    I haven’t needed an extension. I don’t know off top, but I’d guess the cord is about 15 or. 20’ long, plus the length of the pressure washer hose. That’s another 6’
    I cleaned my whole house with no problems.

    I have that. Got it because it was cheap, and leave it at my parents camper. I ended up taking it to my house and its decent for $100. Not nearly as nice as my dads gas pressure washer, but that cost way more.

    I realized today that none of my sockets or wrenches currently include a 24mm to remove my diff plug. Off to HF I went to get a 1/2" drive set of impact sockets for my new Milwaukee impact gun. WTF HF....none of your Icon line include 24mm?! Ended up going to Homie Depot for a Husky set. At least theirs comes with a socket holder rail. Disappointed that now my 3/8 & 1/2 impact sockets are mismatched brands :annoyed:

    That’s not cool, they used to not skip sizes in their sets.
    Their chrome socket sets come with a 24mm, that doesn’t help for an impact gun though.

    That's really weird, my Pittsburgh 1/2 deep impact set comes with a 24, its a fairly common size for auto maintenance.

    Do Icon tool boxes ever go on sale?

    Keep bouncing back between Husky 73" Professional series and Icon 73" for a new box. I have a 60" Husky now (one of the flat black ones with soft close drawers), but I'm just about out of space. All my cabinets, work benches, etc are Husky so I'd like to stay in their line up, but some of the reviews on Youtube are kinda iffy.

    Both of them are priced about the same at ~$3500 plus another $1500 for the top hutch.

    Don't know if you're a fan of buying used stuff, or using Facebook Marketplace, but I see those big Husky cabinets for sale fairly often locally at decent prices. Alot of people crap on Husky, but I'm a fan.

    Do you mean the cabinets or the tool chests?

    I have 3 of their "better" cabinets and they are great, although all of them showed up with dented doors (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-H...V3_bjBx3SKQIVEAYYAyABEgJCJfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)

    Box I'm looking at is here:

    Sorry, tool chests. I see alot of the rolling tool chests/top drawers combos on Marketplace. Can't say I've ever seen any of the stainless top ones come across my feed, but see plenty of the tool chest/tool cabinet combos.

    Check out Kobalt boxes at Lowes. I looked at General, Craftsman, Husky, Milwaukee boxes. Kobalt was by far the better one imo. The drawers/ exterior are much more solid than the others i listed. Very happy with it.

    I have a really nice Husky box now, it's just time for me to jump into a very large box. The entry or mid grade boxes aren't going to cut it anymore.

    This has been a godsend and makes quick work of digging in clay soil that is saturated with roots. This is the only relevant pic I have, and it's not that rooty, but there is another area where it excelled. Definitely a big Pass for me.
