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.

https://techpubs.deere.com/en-US/Search/Equipment Search for your model number, then you can look for it in the list, click on it and it will drop down and let you choose if you want an operators manual, parts catalog, or the technical manual. Click on the TM and you can pick what format you...

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

The letters are raised. That pic was really zoomed in. Below is the full image. The lettering does get a bit ugly when I'm doing a longer label such as a "hexhead 1/4 - 1-1/2" but still very usable. This is all with a 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 layer height. I am using gflabels to generate the labels...

This is what I'm doing as well. A hardened nozzle wouldn't be a bad idea if you plan to get into those materials. However, I'd wait and just see what you need. Like mike said, nozzles are always in stock and easy to get so you wouldn't be down for a long time waiting for one. I'm not doing...

They've been going on sale pretty regularly the last few months. If your an ITC member, you'll have a better chance of getting a coupon for it like when they do 30% off $20 or less. The original colors (Red, Black, Blue) have been going on sale for $13 instead of the $16 for the newer colors.
