    Show your new tool arrivals

    Mostly limbs and some trees that didn’t affect anything. I also took down some trees that may have caused problems. Had a blast using the grapple. Best thing since sliced bread.

    This is my new grapple attachment for my tractor. Came in very handy for debris cleanup after Helene and Milton Hurricanes.

    Affordable 3/8 drive metric impact socket set?

    The Quinn master set at Harbor Freight is pretty nice. Quinn is really just the Pro version of Pittsburgh. No skips, 8-19mm and 5/16 to 3/4. Several extensions and adaptors also. https://www.harborfreight.com/12-in-drive-sae-and-metric-master-impact-socket-set-61-piece-58680.html Lifetime...

    First trip to Harbor Freight in a couple years, surprised at some price increases

    I love Harbor Freight and do have the ITC membership. I think the quality of tools has gone way up. You can still save good money buying from them. You never pay full price unless you just can’t wait. Most everything is had for 20% or more off list price. Have some Hercules battery powered...

    Fein tools quality?

    I‘ve had a Fein multi tool for 20+ years. It gets occasional use only, but has been a very nice tool addition. No complaints from me at all, and I like it very much. If buying new though, would probably get the Makita, just to loose the cord. Back when I bought the Fein, it was by far the...

    Chainsaw recommendation

    My Ego 18” is 4-5 years old and has been very dependable. If you get one, get one with the metal dogs on front. They are a little heavier built. My Ms250 is a dust collector with the Ego getting the majority of the work and the echo 590 busted out for the big 20” plus trees. I have 6 acres...

    How many battery platforms are you using for power tools?

    Ego 56v for one of my chainsaw’s. Surprisingly. Nice tool. Echo 56v PAS powerhead. Not bad, but I might sell it. I almost always use my Gas powered PAS system. The Echo 56v is not as good as Ego’s, and this coming from a big fan of Echo. Makita 18v LXT. Very nice tools for the most...

    Chainsaw recommendation

    I’ve got a Stilh MS 250, an ECHO 590 Timberwolf and an EGO battery 18” (their better model). The Stihl is pretty much a dust collector anymore. I breakout the Echo for larger jobs. The battery Ego is by far my most used chainsaw, and from what I hear about your use, it could be ideal. It can...

    Recommendations for Pancake Air Compressor

    I’ve got a Bostich twin tank model. It’s a screamer. Have had it about 20 years. I keep hoping it dies, so I have an excuse to go get one of the quite Fortress models, but it is a little energizer bunny, keeps going and going. It’s a model that you add oil to it and I can’t remember the...
