    HF Braun Slim LED Worklight

    Half of the base of one is attracted to half of the base of the second one. The other halves repel each other. So they sort of stick together. I tried it out on the dog, she glared at me and went back to sleep. Maybe not the best "Darth Maul Light Saber" but they've been very good for...

    Home Depot B&M to no longer stock a comprehensive Dewalt 20v line?

    Dewalt won't allow Menards to sell their tools. Years ago, Home Depot threatened to quit selling Dewalt if Menards sold them. Since there are a lot more Home Depots than Menards stores, Dewalt went along with it. Similar deals might explain why Menards doesn't sell Milwaukee or Scotts Turf...

    I came up with 5: Workmate 200 Workmate WM-125 Workmate bench top 79-202, type 2 Larin 4" bench vise and a little 2" I was given as a toy when a kid. It still comes in handy, and is clamped to my work bench.

    Do you carry a pocket knife?

    Always have a Swiss Army pocket knife in my pocket if I'm away from home. Probably started in college, so well over 40 years.

    Workzone Wall Mounted Power Board - Aldi

    Features sound OK... Rotating LED work lights - 90 degree tilt 6 outlets Individual switched outlets Detachable tool holder Would probably work better mounted upside down, at least that would keep the cords out of the way.

    ACE Rewards: Dewalt Random Orb Sander $30

    Thanks for the tip. I didn't have any problem checking out, used Paypay, but when I signed up for the Ace Rewards, it never really finished. I eventually checked my e-mail, and there was a confirmation, so it was OK.

    Don't throw your receipt out at the store !

    They don't always get away with it. I know our local police has arrested people for doing just that at Wal-Mart.

    Coax, splitters, & cable modems

    That's an amplified splitter, it's increasing the signal for the 8 outputs. Just plug the white cable into your cable modem and you'll be fine. The cable company supplies the same signal level to everyone.

    Menard's Deals Permathread!

    Our local Menards (Spencer, Iowa) is also making changes. When I was there last week, they had moved the pet stuff to where the windows used to be. Windows were sort of shoved into a seasonal area. Moving pets allowed them to double the grocery area, which they were in the process of putting...
