Right now I use a 7” brush to clean everything on the boats. I was figuring the 7” medium brush for the deck, 9” soft for the top and sides, and the 9” or 11” medium for the bottom.

My dad had that, but I don’t have any of those. My wife is a good boat cleaner, but her arms are too short to do the bottom. I’m chartering the boat this year, so I’m doing much more in depth cleanings multiple times per week. I’m thinking this power scrubber would also work well on the deck...

I’ve got a large collection of Milwaukee tools. Ryobi does offer a lot of interesting options for weird stuff at a lower price point. I’m guessing a Milwaukee power scrubber would be $229 instead of $99. They make the brushes in 7”, 9”, and 11”. I’m thinking the 11” might put too much load...

I searched but didn't see any posts on how these scrubbers hold up long term. I need a decent solution to clean the hull on my boats in salt water on a monthly basis from May to October. I’m currently using a manual brush which works, but I end up missing a lot of the growth with back and...

Reminds me of my house. I live in a pretty nice part of Cape Cod. My mail carrier will leave anything that doesn’t fit in the box on the ground at the street, the street is reasonably busy. They leave Amazon packages like that all the time. Last month they left my new Pelican 1700 rifle case...

The non fuel ratchet is better IMHO, less speed/torque and a smaller head. You can convert it to 1/4” with a $19 anvil kit. I mainly use the ratchet as a 1/4” working on outboards where less torque is better. I’ve used the 3/8” high speed some, but I always grab the 1/4” non fuel. I bought...

2005 called looking for their flashlight. People still use these lights? My Fenix PD26R Ace is more light in a smaller package and uses the same charging cable as my phone. Fenix offers a .mil and first responder 25% discount making it half the cost of the Streamlight...

Good package deal at Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-12V-Cordless-Hammer-Drill-Impact-Kit-M12-3-8-in-Ratchet-SHOCKWAVE-23-Pc-Titanium-Set-Combo-Kit-3497-22-2457-20-48-89-4631/341585461

The Raptor was the best riding truck I’ve ever owned. The 35” tires on a 17” wheel meant loads of tire to soak up bumps. and the computer controlled shocks did a good job of firming everything up for turns. It was dead smooth down the highway at 85 mph and had plenty of power. Mine was the...

I had a 1.5 month run with a Ford Raptor in 2020, the timeframe was dictated by a cross country career change I hadn’t seen coming. Overall it only cost me $3K for the rental. I’m glad I had the experience, and for me I probably dodged the $10-20K in mods I was lusting after. Now I live in a...

Looks like they include a tool to tighten the blade screw. I’m one of those weird left handed people, the knife is clipped in my front left pocket. There has certainly been some size creep on the Fenix in the last probably 17-18 years since I started carrying the P1D. I like a CR123 (buy in...

I don’t care for the blade holder requiring a tool to use, and I want the blade to be locked closed so I don’t reach into my pocket and slice myself. I’ve settled on these small stainless Duratech or Workpro knives. These have a 20% off coupon currently...

I bought them a couple years back on a sale for around $30. I haven’t had an excuse to use them, but the case does take up significant room in the tool box. I probably could’ve passed on the purchase and just stuck with my old Craftsman for the once a decade I actually need them. I used to do...

Which Stabicraft did you have? My brother is looking at one.

I’m down to one set of SAE ratcheting wrenches and one set of Icon mid length 3/8” sockets in my working cart. Unless I’m working on a trailer I generally don’t have to go beyond those. Anything more and I have to my big box in the back of the shop. I may add 1/4” and 5/16” nut drivers on the...

I wish they made a single set that was 1/4” and 3/8” metric only with the foam trays to put in a PACKOUT drawer. SAE is dead.

Does the blade release on these need to be activated to open the mechanism on this?

I’ve been using the Workpro or Duratech fording utility knives for a few years. They are excellent and only cost $5 each bought in packs of two or three. The most important feature to me is the press to open lock button so it can’t open in my pocket. I’m not trying to be a skinflint, I’d be...

Somebody claimed that one quick.

I had a dent on the tailgate of my 87 Bronco from the first time I used the hi lift. I used them for recovery offroad all the time when I was into rock crawling. I used to carry a 48” and a 60” in the truck. The last recovery I did on a muddy dirt road in Payson, AZ the hi lift was the only...
