    Blue Point at big box stores

    My thoughts as well. And they are are all still there as of yesterday. On a tool truck, having that whiff of Snap-On and financing, a guy(not this one) might bite. The cognoscenti know it is a $20 Vaughan.

    How much insulation do I really need?

    I don't know about you but I'd be happy to put down that foam board to save 6 or $700 bucks. So roughly $.65/sq ft to DIY insulate. An old bread knife works very well for cutting. Your saving could go to running pex tube to allow for radiant later.

    How much insulation do I really need?

    2" rigid foam will give you R10 and 1200 sf of it will cost around $1900(shudders) where I'm at. Sounds like a $600 savings if you lay this stuff down yourself. Insulating the slab from the foundation perimeter is also a good idea.

    Cordless Stick Vacuum for Garage Cleaning

    While not used in the garage I bought a Makita and it is great. If not commited to another battery platform I highly recommend it. Whoops, I doubt it will eat leaves

    What’s the use case for the new tekton 1/2” drive large impacts up to 50mm?

    Tekton is notorious for making stuff nobody asked for. Checking bolt dimensions I see no 50mm hex head even used, perhaps proprietary for something An M30 bolt has a 45mm head and would be tightened to around 1500 ft/lb. M36 has 55mm head and would be tightened north of 2k ft lbs. How useful...
