    Looks like I'm moving

    Submitted an offer on a house this morning. If all goes well looks like we'll be moving in a couple months. It's 45 minutes from our current location but much closer to my wife's work. Which is what prompted our move. I don't like her having to drive an hour home from work at midnight. On top...

    A while back Milwaukee announced that they would be producing 9 amp hour batteries. I've been patiently waiting but haven't really heard anything else about them since the initial press release. Any news on these batteries? Approximate cost or info on where to buy?

    Rust on sockets

    What's the best way to remove rust from the inside of a socket? I picked up a small set of used SK sockets the other day and most of them have rust on the inside. I'm not really interested in sitting down with a brush and some kind of penetrating fluid and scrubbing the inside. Maybe there is...
