I don't think I will be buying another hand tool for the rest of my life. I overdid it and have more than what I will ever need. Five sets of combination wrenches, 100 screwdrivers, 17 ratchets, a ridiculous number of pliers and sockets.

I didn't know that. I like the looks and feel of them.

I bought a set of Wright wrenches and returned them. When I tested the open end on a bolt it had more play then my other wrenches. They look and feel nice though. My last set I bought were Williams, which are made by Snap On but are about half the price. And made in USA. I have way to many...

I bought a Honda and it's a fantastic machine. Mine is the 4HP and I got it Home Depot. Its starts on the first pull and has an easy pull system. I believe Honda is phasing out of their gas lawn mowers but there still may be some in the stores. It's a 22" self-propelled. Plenty of power...

I went a bit crazy on chainsaws a year or so ago. I had an older Echo 370 and ended up getting and Echo 4510, Echo 620P and a Stihl MS 261. The best bang for the buck is the Echo 4510- I think that is the model #. Sorry, no photos as it would be a pain to bring them all down from high up on...

Thanks. It's a little guy as far as size of zero turn mowers, but it should be nimble.

Just got the new machine - Scag Liberty Z 36". This thing is sweet. Fit perfectly in the space I had left in the garage. This should make mowing the yard a pleasure rather than a chore with that 21" Honda walk behind.

I have a Stihl gas powered weed eater - I believe it is the 131. It has a ton of power, runs great and will eat through anything. Also have an Ego with the auto feed feature and I am impressed with it. Both are excellent. If you have batteries that will work with DeWalt, then that might be...

Yeah, with that much to mow, you need a 60. I got the Kawasaki 18 HP. I think the 42 would be the ticket for my yard, but it would cause issues in the garage with the wider deck. I only have so much space between the cars. The 36 should be nimble and light. Thanks

Thanks for the input. I just got through re-arranging things in the garage. The 36" will fit nicely in the spot I created for it, but anything wider would be a problem. I would prefer a 42 or 48, but that is not happening unless I sell a car and open up a bay. Right now we have three cars...

I guess I meant I wanted to get a brand that the lawn service companies use, but the only Skag I could fit in my garage is the Liberty 36". And it's for residential use anyway. I could have gotten the V-Ride II in a 32" or 36", but it was quite a bit more money. Hard to say whether I would...

Yes, I know that about the Liberty Z, but I am not using it for commercial use, although my dealer told me that some lawn guys buy them for commercial use. It was the only Scag model they make in a zero turn that was 36". I did look at the V-Ride, but it was quite a bit more expensive. I was...

I recently purchased a zero-turn mower. I have an acre lot, but the grass area is around 10,000 SF. I found the 21" walk-behind was taking too long and to many passes. After doing a ton of research, I went with a Scag Liberty Z, with a 36" deck. I would have gone with a larger deck, but I...

Picked up this Ridgid 14" heavy duty pipe wrench on Amazon at a great price of $27. Made in USA and a lifetime warranty. I don't do much plumbing work, but it might come in handy. I did not have a pipe wrench in the tool collection.

I added another Snap-On ratchet. The one in the middle is new - FHR80 3/8" Dual 80 soft grip quick release ratchet. Love Snap-On ratchets, but they are expensive. I like the feel of the soft grip handle better and the ratchets is longer than the chrome grip version as you can see. I feels...
