I guess I should do this every now and then.

Here's what has been purchased in the last six months or so. The drill in the pic was the $99 special during the holidays. I wanted a slim battery pack and an extra M12/M18 combo charger, all I have is XC packs and I wanted the slim for the new heated jacket. It was cheaper to buy the drill kit than it was just the pack and charger separate. The last thing I needed was another drill, but it made no sense to pay more for less. The drill is actually a lot better than I expected for a holiday special, it's the current four pole/four brush compact drill and kit, but only one battery. The Fuel impacts are beasts for their size. Other than the drill kit, everything was a bare tool. The vendor I got the M12 grease gun from sold me the kit mius the battery and charger, so I got the case for free.

The Bosch stuff I started getting later last year. The oscillating tool is simply the best I've used, cordless or corded. The brushless motor has tons of runtime. I put the little bandsaw to work helping me make an iron gate for the garden. I picked up the new Bosch 4AH 12VMax battery because they finally took a page from Milwaukee's book and made a similar pack. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with Bosch 12V tools, it goes o forever it seems, and you have a nice stable foot to set the tools down on.

I got other goodies during a big Bosch sale with L-BOXXes that I couldn't pass up. About that time my back blew apart and I was totally immobile for months. The five-high stack of L-BOXXes and the dolly became a walker for me to get around the house with. The "real" walker was too clumsy and wide. Pushing that stack around was my only way of getting around the house for 4 months. I'm slowly mending now and finally able to put some of these tools to work!

4th roll is in the garage, does anyone have an idea on how to mark this stuff? I made a cardboard template of the drawers but i cant find anything to show up on the liner...

I used a Size .04 White GellyRoll Pen that I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

Ive been looking for two of those for my snapon puller sets. 1at home and 1at work. But all the used ones i find are either beat up and want to much or they are brand new and want $10 less then a new one. At that rate ill give my snap-on guy the business and buy new.

Well that's just great for you. I have been dying to get one of those snap on wall cabinets. I hate seeing people succeed where I have failed....great score!

Wanna sell one?
Lol thanks. Sorry got a spot picked out for them in the new shop already and the walls aren't even closed in! Shipping from Canada to you would likely cost more than I paid for them anyways.
Great score, I'd really like to have at least a couple of those.

I guess I've gotten lucky. Got a used one last year for a song and now these 2 for a song and a dance :lol: Only ones I've seen listed in my area for over a year.
These even came with the slotted metal boards and clip system for mounting tools. :rocker:

Wife scored me this like new Proto 1/2" drive torque wrench for $50 for Valentine's Day. The guy said he only used it once and I believe it.

Hmmm. I have a $35 gift card for Amazon and can't decide on what to get. Someone help. I already have drill and impact set, screw driver set, pliers just the regular, wobble extensions, ratcheting wrenches, metric wrenches, hook and pick set, and one ball pein hammer. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. Here and there

Some really long pliers with a curved end have helped me plenty of times. Just something to consider.

Except they like to get stuck on brass air line fittings... :(

Thanks for the heads up.

I love it. It's 1/4". Fantastic amount of torque for its size. The speed/torque setting made it perfect when I had to take my snowblower apart the other day. Using the low setting was perfect for tightening the bolts holding the covers on. Also made short work on an earlier trans and rear axle service. High range for removing, low range for installing.

The M18 3/8" in a beast. Has no trouble with lug nuts on my 3/4 ton trucks. Not what I got it for, but I had to try it seeing how well it worked on other stuff. The air tools will get used a lot less.

I got them off of a guy who imports tools down here in New Zealand. I assume your comment was about my screwdrivers.

Yeah I got these over a three week period. Haven't used the impact yet but I'm sure I will enjoy it. And I love any and all swivel sockets. They really help out when needed.

I didn't realize how nice they were until I finally broke down and bought a full set. My 1/4" drive ones + a lot of extensions + M12 cordless ratchet make easy work of some tough to get to stuff

Anyways. Back on topic. I'll take some pictures of my latest this weekend.
