I have carried a stockman of some sort since I was in grade school. My dad told me to carry a knife all the time and I have. I get so mad at my teenage boys because they never have one on them but they have them. I grow up in the country feeding hay so needed one everyday. Learned if it stayed...

As far as value yea I see lots of value in them. I buy lots of old heavy 1/2 aluminum case drills and grinders at auctions. no one wants them get them for nothing and they will out work new stuff all day for pennies. If they quit they owe you nothing but for the most part they don't not pretty...

The older I get the more I go back to corded tools. I love my cordless stuff for small fast jobs. My problem is for shop work every day I don't use much in the way of power tools so corded are easier then making sure battery is up when needed. Then may be months in between doing home improvement...

I noticed that they are changing names on stuff too. I think they are doing that so they don't have to warranty stuff anymore. I took in some pittsburg snap ring pilers I bought years ago and end snapped off. Cost to much to send back for warranty but when store opened up close I took them...

My old house I dug around it and put a sleeve out of 855 Cummins around it so I wouldn't hit it with the mower. That was 30 years ago and is still there.

voltage regulator boards are the second thing it do if reflash doesn't work. I have seen them go bad from setting.

But those tenders are getting water from some where to fill you up. Maybe from natural water source? But around my area it is out of the ground and that most of the time that is a city water source. During Badger hole fire I was having Tenders (tankers in my world) pulling water out of both (2...

Also for hose might talk with local fire department. We give hose away for small donation when we change out hose on trucks.

I agree with the goat idea or sheep to clean up fuel load. That is what I have been trying around hear because no one wants to mow run down junky places. As far as hose goes 1" foresty line would work ok. If good water supply maybe adding a gas water pump would help. Around here lots of farmers...

I hate to count up how many tools I own or duplicates. I have a set in the big shop at my dads plus his tools that I have been going through and giving away part of to family. I have 2 small cpl boxes in my pickup of beater tools. I have 2 large cpl boxes full of s-k that where my work boxes for...

When we moved in 2 car garage wished we would have set it on a 12" stem wall instead on just on a slab. Extra height would have been great.

I paint everything with color place white outdoor latex in the shop. Stands up good and cheep enough to repaint when needed and washable when needed. Covers pretty well.

school here last couple year installed the types of lock on the shop doors then wrote combination on door frame. They got mad because kids were coming and going out of them couldn't figure out how they got the combo. lol

I made new handle for mine out of key stock.

The picture shows that the tab is missing. You bought a used tool. I have been burn before buying used stuff it happens. But I don't think you even got burned on this. If they had sent you something other then what was pictured send it back but that's not the case here it show in the pic that...
