I believe the high tech remote operated shut offs belong on main lines rather than throwing that responsibility and cost to individual owners. Wi-Fi should not be mandated for anyone, anywhere.

The Arabia steamboat museum was a great time but not expecting to get into the tool store.

Hey, I might get a stop in there this week too! Thanks for the post because I never would have put two and two together.

My employer has discontinued their house brand tools. That forced me to grab a few odd tools at a great price. But if you don't use something, the money is ******* for nothing.

If the building on left is the house, you did good son. Priorities

Ha, my guess for the title was going into HF without buying anything.

The workbench full of lights has one that tripped my memory. It was an EARLY LED light and probably ran 3 AA batteries. My buddies and I were amazed at the life of that thing! Compared to a big ole Mag light with D cells. While camping we went to bed with the light on facing up on the picnic...

The 90° adapter has been in the original bag for years. Well, it paid it's rent this weekend. A drywall seam was behind the furnace and I didn't expect to get screws in the whole length. The standard tool is pretty handy on its own. Working in the tight quarters made me appreciate it more.

They sent a email showing new models. 70cc power in a dual battery chainsaw. MO betta!

I never have bought stolen tools. But a lawn tractor I found a good deal on is missing all decals and numbers.

Parse issues for me also

My power tools are stored on a metal rack against a concrete wall. So maybe I'm ok in case of SHTF..... maybe. Do I need containment?
