Time vs money. If it is going to cost me 1 hour of time to file or sharpen or I can spend $10-20 for a new replacement tool.. well my time is worth more then 10-20/hr.

Just as an on topic tangent,has anyone used or looked at the Kreg ACS track saw system? My dreams of a table saw are not happening with my space limitations for now

Wright wrenches are a great buy too

if you're having that many problems just by a rigid and take their lifetime service agreement

I have yet to have much luck with jump packs. The 2 I bought both failed the first time I needed them. Ymmv

Vinyl or similar baseboard with a healthy dose of caulking.

Waiting on that locker to go on sale. Probably 10 minutes to never.

RTR compared the Icon torque wrench to the SO and said that the Icon was more precise and repeatable.

You can all thank me. I did the unthinkable. I used a $0.69 paintbrush from HF. It was one of the "professional" brushes with The thick semi transparent bristles. Coupon for The good: it stuck together, no errant bristles pulling off. The bristles were stuff and stayed stiff while painting some...
