Added a scrap section of PVC pipe to the wall to hang the hedge trimmer attachment for my M18 Quik Lok trimmer. Removed the empty watering barrel from my 3pt Carryall on the tractor and loaded up the rototiller and trimmers for tomorrow. Gonna remove some sod and till up a small bed for...

For me, cordless wins every time because I'll be done by the time you get done rolling out a cord or hooking up a generator.

No way I'd spend $600 on a battery model, but I use a pneumatic air hammer a fair bit. Driving out bearings or pins, working on rooftop exhaust fans, breaking up stuck/rusted hitches. At home I use one 2-3 times a month. At work, probably 2-3 times per week.

I've cut a lot of 16ga and 18ga with a 7-1/4" circular saw and a Diablo Steel Demon blade.

I've had the Milwaukee M12 "Dremel" tool for several years now. Haven't touched my corded Dremel in years. Just recently used it to cut off a few sway bar end links that wouldn't budge. I use Dremel accessories on it. The EZ lock mandrel and cutting wheels work great. If you're cutting bolts...

For years I've used Ace Hardware's premium 0.095" string on my weedwackers. And whatever Runnings carries for .155" line for my walk behind trimmer, I think it's GrassGator brand.

I have the same brake from HF and have used it on and off over the last 10 years. I always thought about doing a mod with built-in clamps (lots of different ones) but I'm still just using C-clamps or bar clamps when I do use it.

I don't see a reason to need to look in there constantly vs removing a solid cover on occasion. But if you really want to sit and observe I'd get a piece of 3/8" plexiglass and cut it to fit.

Something like a Sensorcon Inspector is a good personal CO monitor to have in a situation like that where CO could spike. Gives a real-time readout and you'll see results before you're in danger. Unlike the cheap CO-detectors most people have in their house. I have one for working in boiler...

Four gangs exist but nowhere locally. I'd stack two 4x4s.

I have some corded HF tools (Bauer mostly) and have had good luck with them, but I don't think I'd ever buy cordless tools there. Most of my battery tools are Milwaukee and some Hitachi, but if I needed cheap cordless tools I'd look at Ryobi. Who knows how long Hercules, etc will be around...

I only ever buy 7-1/4" circular saws. Much more blade options, especially in stock locally. Blades seem to be cheaper than smaller blades. And I don't like the blade on the wrong side.

Hope you heal fully! I saw that happen in an RV shop I worked at years ago. Ever since I got my first "big" toolbox at home my rule is no more than one drawer open at a time. And lock/secure all drawers before moving a toolbox or cart, if moving is necessary.

Choose your favorite battery platform and go with that. I've had the original Milwaukee string trimmer since 2017, still running strong. Two years ago I added one of the QuikLok with a string trimmer head as well as the articulating hedge trimmer head. Looking at the pole saw and bristle broom...

Built a small planter to hang from the deck railing for our kitchen herbs. Not perfect but I finally used up a 3-board section of cedar fence leftover from last year, and it's nice and easy to grab some herbs while making dinner.
