I have a list of other stuff I want, but money's tight around here so I have to wait and get what I can get when I can get it. I'm happy with what I have, I can get things done with little hassle, but there's always other tools I want. Right-angle grinder, I have an electric that I use when...

I use them for everything. When I had a full-time job I used them as a maintenance mechanic, working on machinery and building maintenance. Now that I'm basically a bum and sit at home all day, I use them for whatever pops up. Building a coffee table, building kitchen drawers, fixing stuff...

I have a 17' Costco too, love it, and a 13' Keller that I love. Use them both all the time, but to be honest it can be a pain in the *** sometimes having to keep pulling the pins to extend and collapse them, but that's my only "gripe". I love the ladders, they're not heavy, they're strong as...

What's the pay like, I need a good job...

You have some stuff I'd want but I'm broke, so it looks you're stuck with it all...

We go to the one on 59, we're right by Army Trail and County Farm so we're in the middle of about three different HD locations. We used to live in Glendale Heights behind where Valley is, and used to go to the HD on Schmale all the time. I don't care which one it is though, I generally don't...

There has to be a reason to go to Home Depot?? Please don't ever tell my wife that...

Made a fold-away table/foot stool for my office. Pops up to be a table or foot rest, and folds flat to slide under the couch. Probably going to paint it or stain it, haven't decided...

Cobra hit it on the head, it's a circular saw guide.

Not "new" new, about a month or so old now but still the latest tools bought. Gearwrench pass-thru set and bit set...

Photobucket gives you IMG codes, all you have to do is copy the text that's in the "IMG" box and paste it into your post. Whether you're looking at the album page or the image page, there will be links. You want to copy the "IMG" link and paste that into your post... If you don't see the...

What about Stanley MaxSteel adjustable wrenches? As far as I know they're U.S.-made and Stanley has a lifetime warranty so it's not like you can't replace them if they ever fail. I don't know about the coating but the one I have, which is an older version, has a coating on it that I probably...

If I had stock in Ryobi I'd own more Ryobi tools. Somehow I don't think they got the message about me being broke, they haven't sent me any free tools...

I don't have the chargers on timers, what I did was cut the plugs off and put right-angle plugs on and plug them into switchable plugs. I just turn them on when I need to use them, and turn them off when they're not in use. I thought about a timer but it seemed more logical to have them on...

I have the impact driver, it's a nice tool, I like it. But, I'm a sucker for Ryobi stuff, I like all of it. I don't have the impact wrench, but I want to get it sooner or later. I have corded tools but obviously I prefer cordless. The planer is corded (well, I doubt anybody could make a...

I wish I would have thought of it with the first 4 or 5 batteries I tossed, could have had more mounts for other tools...

Nah, I don't have a lot of cordless stuff... Ryobi Family Portrait 02 by Ed Durbin (Katodog), on Flickr

Sadly there really is nothing to do right now. There's painting we want to do and we're gonna redo the kitchen cabinets and countertops but not until it warms up enough to have the windows open.

Added more cabinets, moved stuff around... Garage 017 by Ed Durbin (Katodog), on Flickr Reinforced the workbench top... Garage 018 by Ed Durbin (Katodog), on Flickr Knocked down the plastic shelves and turned them into a table for the sander, added an old medicine cabinet for storing...

Different angle of the tools, battery rack, chargers... Garage 008 by Ed Durbin (Katodog), on Flickr Decided to use the dead batteries as tool mounts, pulled the cells out and used the battery shells to mount some of the power tools. Changed the charger rack, got rid of the NiCad chargers. A...
