Needed some new picks, just happened to be in Lowe’s and see these on sale for $8. I really like the feel of the handles!

Absolutely! JEUCLEL 1/2" Drive Oil Filter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9N3GWGV?tag=atomicindus08-20

Saw this in this thread a week or so ago. Came in yesterday.

Thank you! He’s a big goofball.

No, he’s a Giant Schnauzer

Ordered two of these work platforms from Home Depot on sale for $49.88 with free shipping. Regular price $89.97. I needed something better to stand on when installing engine driven hydraulic pumps on trucks. Figured for the price I’d get a spare to keep around the house. Derek wanted to be in...

Went straight to Amazon and ordered one when I saw this. I’ve been making do with a piece of 3/4” round stock I slotted and stuffed a piece of 1” ratchet strap through. For the price this was worth the upgrade!

Having said that, I have over 100 adjustable wrenches.

The first rule of hoarding is: we don’t talk about hoarding.

Had to build another set of saw horses for the feed beds we’re in the business of rebuilding. 8” I-beam cut in half at the web and mounted on triangular legs made of 3x3x3/16 square tube. They’re a little heavy, but we don’t move them around much and the material was paid for. Welded up with...

Pawn shop… again… Snap On 1-13/16” wrench was marked down from $150 to $100 Armstrong 2” wrench was marked down from $100 to $33 Snap On brushless drill with 1 battery and charger and was marked $140 $200 out the door.

Road trip today to pick up a truck for a customer, hit a couple pawn shops along the way. Found these 3 Proto Professional wrenches. The 2” was marked $39.99, the 2-3/16 was marked $139.99, and the 2-3/8 was marked $59.99 (yes, those are numbers are correct, didn’t make any sense to me either)...

Got a brand new Ram coming in for a feed bed and I’m too scared to weld on the frame. I’ve gotten by with welding on older trucks through the years with only one issue but I can’t bring myself to take the chance on this one. So, a mag drill was in order:

I’ve only used it for a few minutes (didn’t get much string with it) but I’ve been pleased with it so far. Another local shop sells Stihl and almost everyone in my area is a die-hard Stihl person. I don’t have anything against Stihl, never used much of their stuff honestly. But I liked the look...

I would definitely see about a remote switch if I were you, that sounds like a lot of extra steps! I guess if you’re like me and don’t need it that often it may not be a huge deal. I don’t currently have a shop, just a 3 sided carport that also gets for lawn and garden storage, animal feed...
