    If you have to lift the 3-lb tool up above your head a lot, it becomes a pain. But I only had it for a day so far :). The trigger is just a light squeeze, just like any power tool.

    I do have one like yours, had it for 20 years now. (I prefer the fixed-blade version + leather case, which I hang off my belt, but I don't do all that much up in the trees - I wonder if the DeWalt could snip through a lanyard?) It's just, for me around my property line, I have endless...

    It's the thick stuff that gets me - I have to get out the loppers and it's a real pita sometimes, and I'm not as young as I used to be! This thing doesn't even notice 1/2" fresh 'branches'. (And I can do them with one hand now).

    I bought a Husky socket today too - they had 4 of mine in stock (1/2 drive 13mm 12-point shallow), but I noticed three of them had a nickel finish and one slightly different was regular chrome. What is yours? I can't quite tell from the pic. I wonder if they are moving over to nickel nowadays?

    New DeWalt pruner. On sale at last in HD for $90 down from $120 (I've been watching its price). This item is not on Amazon btw. No battery but I have some of the 20V.

    Ryobi chop saw

    So I got that drill press free (well, for the cost of the chuck only) from amazon, as they got the order messed up. Gotta love amz sometimes. The Wilton I actually paid for, but I hate it - everything seems bent and unless I keep everything a little loose I can't turn the handles. But it has its...

    Ryobi chop saw

    @Beerhippie I've got some of the 0.045" cutoff disks now for my grinder. Would you say I could get a more-even cut using both the drill press and the grinder together like this (this is not the correct disk installed in the pic). Too dangerous? I'd be wearing full face and neck protection and...

    Proper use of the heat gun in the shop

    Hot air blower burgers - I did that in college once. It worked too! When there's no stove or ring available.

    New Home Safe Delivered….where to store the grinders, recip saws etc?

    Who makes this wrench from Japan?

    I just noticed I had this lonely wrench, no idea how I have it amongst all the Huskys. Can anyone ID the brand?

    Unistrut hoist

    When that motorcycle is above your head and you're wrenching on that sprocket nut, you gotta ask yourself one question: do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

    Is there a certain tool you use everyday for your job?

    Big dewalt bag containing ALL my safety equipment. It's really light weight and goes with me everywhere. It's been a game-changer for me. I'm tired of running back for ear muffs, or dust mask, gloves, safety glasses, face shield, breathing filter, leather gloves, nitrile gloves, wrist supports...
