Stubby nozzle and blowerband for my M18 blower.
Had me going for sec & had to do a double take. Thought it was mine sitting on my anti-fatigue mat that has that diamond plate pattern that I sometimes take pics on but that's not what I used to take the photo of mine when I posted it here.
Nice, another stubby with blowerband.
I love the blowerband, I originally had black on mine but ended up putting the black band on the stock long tube. My only complaint with this version stubby nozzle is that it reduces air volume compared to my previous stubby nozzle and it makes the blower much louder. My old one didn't make the motor/fan louder over the stock tube. Can't wait to get me a 3d printer so I can make my own nozzle.

Does it lock permanently or can you switch between locked and loose? Think about to get the 1/2“ one

Been eyeing that for awhile, driver keeps trying to sell me on it. Next week might be the weekSnap On stubby bit set
Thanks!
Yep, best way to remove small trees and saplings. Been using mine for about 6 months now. I’ve done about 15 acres, got about 60 left to do
Very nice! I'm saving up for a grapple. Looking at something like this Titan model:

Got the set of Midgets I was waiting for,
I split this set with a buddy,
I wanted these, and he got the foam set of wrenches,
He has quite a haul built up!!
The screwdrivers are a gift for his new acreage garage, and the ratchets and pliers are a trade for some rims I got from him!!
Also got him this same sign,
He is gonna be pumped when I go visit this weekend!!

The best advice I can offer is get the heaviest built one you can afford. The one in my pic is a 48” and it’s sort of the bare minimum - I’ve bent it when I wasn’t careful how I picked up a big log. I borrowed a friends 72” that is built super, super heavy and wish I had one like it.Very nice! I'm saving up for a grapple. Looking at something like this Titan model:
I've heard that a lot! The Titan model is all 1/2" steel (I admit, I haven't really started looking yet)
I would actually like something a little lighter, as I don't want to lose the lifting capacity with a 1,000# attachment (my machine is rated 2200# @ 50%)
I'm easy on my equipment...just homeowner stuff on 5 wooded acres.
I should have picked up the one they had where I bought my stump bucket. They had a 50" model marked down to $999 because the owner took it home and used it twice...

Update on my post showing the Gearwrench 1/4” swivel sockets. Pulled the 12mm off the clip today, and it wouldn’t fit the bolt. I took a look at it, and it seemed awful small. You can actually see it in the original picture I posted when I bought them. I measured it and sure enough, this one was broached to fit a 3/8” fastener:
Glad I caught it within the Amazon return window, my replacement set arrives tomorrow.

New tools for my feet for work. I get a small annual allowance for PPE so I might as well use it. I was on vacation of all times and found a place that has Thorogood boots in stock. Having never worn them, I couldn’t wait to try them. So far the break-in period has been non-existent and they are really comfortable. Same size as my Red Wings and roughly the same price too.

Picked up another cart for work. This is kind of going to be my workbench type. If you get what I’m saying. It’s going to have all the tools on it I need for the particular job I’m doing and probably evolve through the day. Then at the end of the day put everything back where it goes. The regular roll cart is fine for everything you use on a daily basis but you can’t pile everything you need to use for a particular job in the top and be organized and I don’t want to look unorganized. Plus I need more storage anyway, not really lol. Kind of an early birthday present to myself. Pops chipped in $20 on the bill as he snuck some things in on the bill too haha. He got me the two year protection plan as well. My birthday is next weekend on Saturday exactly a week from today so one less thing to ask for lol. Wish they had other colors than red but it is what it is. My pumpkins will not match haha. That’s what everyone calls my setup at work is the pumpkins. I also asked about the orange side lockers when they would be available they said as of right now only red and black would be available due to issues of sourcing matching orange paint for the boxes now and also yellow. That’s what the employees said I am not sure how true it is but that’s what I was told. I will post pictures of it put together later.

Got the tote and the rolling toolbox to complement my drill and impact set. I live in an apartment and currently renovating 2 properties nearby.
These will never get used all 3 together, the rolling toolbox has all my car tools, including some special tools, the tote has the "first responce" hand tools. Unless working on the car, I will either carry just the tote or the tote together with the drill set. The tote and the drill case are toughsystem 1.0 which means they are a bit less deep than the rolling toolbox..
Messy but I'll make some dividers to tidy things up

First off, a couple things I've actually been needing, a new grease gun and a couple OEMtools wrench rails, showed up at my doorstep yesterday....
But later on I had some time to kill in town between appointments so I stopped by the Harbor Freight just to walk around and look, or so I thought ...
Welp, there sure went all of this week's overtime money.

That grease gun is on my list. Glad to hear its worth the price. I did just score the Proto grease gun in the Amazon deals thread. May get the lock n lube tip for it.

I use my dewalt one all the time to clean the garage.. and to dry off my golf cart when I wash itBeen wanting one for a while for drying cars and blowing out the garage. Free battery made me pull the trigger.
Now I gotta check out all these stubby barrel mods and what-not!

I have a LockNLube branded grease gun and it's no difference in quality from a Lincoln commercial pistol grip.
But my Macnaught grease gun is on another level, made in Aus too.

Also got these during the weekend:
Wiha 30297 12 piece screwdriver set
OTC 4581 Slide hammer and blind hole bearing puller set.
Upgrading my current screwdriver set. It's currently a mix of Craftsman Pro and standard Craftsman clear handles. I use a set of Wiha ESD drivers at work and I really like their feel and finish of their screwdrivers, so I decided on a set for home.

I missed one of the LL tips last week. Was a killer AWD price.
Nice, I could of used one of those just a few days ago. Needed to recrimp the ferrules on a couple of air hoses. I looked at buying one of those but since I wouldn't need it too often I just went to my local hose & fittings shop & got new ferrules put on.Sloppy seconds hose crimper
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for?
