Been visiting the site and lurking for a few years but never officially joined. From Metro-West Boston area (Ashland). Worked as a chef for the last 10 years and before that tuned bikes/ skis. Stay home now with my son (6 months) and tackle the duties of stay-at-home Dad and tinkerer while time allows.....

NSC: sounds like you and the family are eating good and benefiting from your talent. are you interested in anything in particular or just learning more about tools, garages and stuff?

welcome and ask questions if you need any help posting pictures or about the forum format.

Between having used cheap tools and high quality tools back when I worked on bikes/ skis, having done apprentice- type work in carpentry & electrical, and using high quality knives in the kitchen....I like finding the best values, quality...that makes the job easier and less of a headache....

In my time lurking...i've been turned onto Wera and it also cemented my decision to switch platforms when my 14.4 NiCad makita died.....

I've been researching compressors for a shed/ deck build we have coming up and I would prob. not have come across Rolair if I hadn't.

NSC: i haven't heard of Wera and i have had great luck with Ryobi's 18v tools now that they have better batteries. good luck with Wera and i'll have to read up on them when i get some time.

is Rolair compressor a small compressor to run a nailer or what are you using it for? that's another name I am not familiar with. i hang in the old tool sections so my 2 year old Ryobi 18v are the newest tools i think i own and a lot of them are pre 1960's.

i bet you can really see the difference in having nice tools in the kitchen and not so nice ones because my wife is a pretty good cook and she almost gets giddy when she finds a nice upgrade to here kitchen tools.

cheers and best of luck with the deck project because i have one of my own this summer along with a fence and putting in a new backyard.
