    My wife and I have discussed tattoos in the past and I keep coming to the conclusion that I don't like anything enough to permanently put it in my body.

    Same here. Not intentional however.
    Knowing if it slips it’s going to hurt like hell and having to do it anyway
    And it slips
    And you say I Knew It.
    And you just keep going.
    There are a lot of cars and trucks with my DNA mixed in with the rust.l

    So another co-worker had some air tools he didn't use anymore, so I asked him how much. $100. I didn't even hesitate! They're a little dirty, but with some love they'll be aiight.

    A thing or two...
    Thanks. I got lucky. It was found early and wasn't a really invasive form, so one surgery got what they found. I had the option to do chemo or radiation but didn't have to and didn't.

    I think that falls more under the category of body mods. :rofl:

    I have a 1/4” and 3/8” IR cordless 20v ratchet and impact and use them everyday for the last 3 years hard and no issues .... love the IR and rather support them rather than the tool trucks. I wish an Amazon truck would come by!! Maybe I should start this as a thing!! I also have a 1/2” 20v IR that is just big and heavy but is as strong as my air impact.
