Once you get going, it's addicting! I finally got one drawer filled this weekend. Still gotta organize it. Deciding if I want to move the metric to it's own drawer - but this is how the nuts and washers look.

I've got the Ridgid foldable stand that's been mentioned above and love it. It's easy to move, setup, and store. Can't ask for much more out of it.

That install drill is probably my most used tool.

Looks really good! I hear good and bad about Barrina so I'm curious how your experience turns out. I did something similar last year with Harbor Freight lights and it's hard to think about how I was able to work before them.

Same here. I've been happy with the power head and like that it can be swap shafts to be an edger, broom, polesaw, etc.

Can't speak to what records are kept, but your correct on the manuals. For John Deere, a technical manual is a detailed service manual. The operators manual will have the basics. Deere has the operators manuals publicly available on their site. Technical manuals you have to pay for - unless you...

Looks really good!

I would definitely try getting more organized. Everything should have a home and be in it's home when it's no longer needed. Getting a tool box will be a good start. For me, I have multiples of the cheaper tools (screwdrivers, pliers, etc). 1 set lives in the garage, 1 set lives in the...

I use Fuelio (https://www.fuel.io/) to track maintenance. I use to be meticulous on tracking fill ups with it but stopped a few vehicles ago. I think there is a paid version but I just use the free version and have been happy with it. I recently looked...

I completely agree. I was in the same position a few years ago buying a bunch of tools because "it's a good deal". Some of them ended up being incredibly good deals compared to today but many were within $10-$20 every year. Funny enough, I passed on a great deal the other week for a tool I...

I really like Wagos. I don't think a cover or tape is necessary though. I use them at work (industrial) and at home and never had one accidentally open. I believe they are very popular in Europe too and never seen a sleeve or heard of needing tape. I imagine they've gotten enough use by now to...

In college I worked at a large automotive warehouse that shipped for RockAuto in the e-commerce area. Same parts as what you get in the store.

No, Home Depot doesn't qualify for Milwaukee Rebates as their promo is the rebate.

Skids are the way to go. I tried the pipe with my snowblower since I have a gravel driveway but didn't have much success. If you can get original skids, go for those. Otherwise these look like a nice option https://www.r2manufacturing.com/products/blade-tamer
