Here’s 35 of them ranging from 6” to 18”. I have a few more in my truck box, tractor box, etc. Most are USA made, none are Chinese. I think there are a couple from Japan and Korea. Most of these stacks are 2-4 deep.
I started watching videos of tool restorations and then one day I saw a rusty crescent wrench for $1 at the flea market. I bought it, soaked it in Evaporust, etc, etc etc, and got my $1 worth of fun out of it. That was a few years ago. I now have a drawer with about 40 restored USA made...
I have the old model Ryobi and it has worked well for me. Mainly use it to top off tires but never had a problem with batteries. The only thing I don’t like about the one I have is that the trigger does not have a catch. It would be nice to latch the trigger and walk away.
“Going to order another Samsung SSD and try to fix my other laptop.”
Sounds like me. I checked out a closet at church and found two old PC’s that had been retired. A new SSD and fresh install of Windows and both are running fine and are back in use.
I discovered something else on one of them...
I have been using Ventoy on the USB stick. I have various iso files on one drive (Windows and Linux). Boot the USB and pick the one you want to install. Works great for me.
I love playing around with this stuff. Just don’t ask and don’t tell my wife how many computers I have laying around. 🤫
Excellent! Congratulations!
Recently I have been playing around with this. I was at an estate sale recently and walked out with an HP All-in-One computer for $28. It’s from about 2012 or 2013 and it’s now running Win 11. Works like a champ. It’s a third gen AMD something-or-another cpu.
I also...
I have about 10 Dewalt 20v and 20 Ryobi 18v tools. If I had to generalize, I’d say Dewalt for quality and Ryobi for variety. But I have some garden tools, some woodworking tools, and some mechanic tools in both platforms and both have served me well.
I have had only one tool failure, a Ryobi...
