Upgraded to a larger compressor.

Figured I'd better get more out of it.

Figured I'd need more tools to get more out of it.

Figure I'm going broke buying more tools.:headscrat

You need a GOOD impact. Its a must.

Nice collection so far though.
Why two die grinders?

I would buy an air drill, but my tank is too small.

An impact, and a rivet gun are next on my list.

Had a Home Depot card, so I bought the cheap Husky.

The next day I'm in a pawn shop, and find a Matco for $8.00!

Ratchet is an IR, the scaler is a HF.

I tend to spend where I know I'll be using the tool a lot, and skimp where I know it will rarely be used.

That HF scaler is pretty nice. I have one, I was assuming yours was something different and I had the copy.

I wonder if there is really more than a nickel's worth of difference between HF tools, and the ones they copy.

Sometimes I think the only difference is the stamp, and the price.

Scored a new IR 231c in unopened box off Ebay for $51 + Shipping.

Won't get me any suckage points, but I'm happy!

Nope, but I'm dieing to give their products a try. I've read decent reviews, and their prices are really good. Worst part is, warranty. Gotta ship the thing back, I assume? Sca-rew that.
