I went to Ace Hardware this morning to pick up some things I’ve been meaning to get. I bought this Packout to hold wire nuts, staples and other small electrical items.
I’ve been wanting a cordless screwdriver for awhile now and, after some research, I decided on the Craftsman. I know there are higher quality, more powerful options out there (ie. DeWalt, Milwaukee), but this one suited my needs better. I’m primarily going to use it for switch plate covers and securing outlets and switches to boxes, so its low torque is ideal. If I need to drive a screw into hardwood, I’ll use my drill or impact driver. Another factor that I liked about it is that it has the form-factor of an ordinary screwdriver and can fit into my belt pouch much more easily than other options. The only real downside that I can see is that it uses micro USB rather than USB-C to charge. I can live with that though.
I stopped at a yard sale on the way home and, although not a tool, bought something I’ve been needing for awhile now…..a new work hat. She wanted $2 for it, but I ended up getting it for $1.
Finally, when I got home, I found a package on my porch swing that the mailman had left for me. I ordered these for an upcoming job where communication over a distance is vital and cell phone reception at the job site is spotty or non-existent.
