Got this masterforce router u can't read the digital screen in pic but u can dial in what kind of wood hard or soft and can select the rpm you want also has a light and soft start. Pretty sweet for 80 bucks can also get with plunge base for like 30 more or something like that. I was very surprised and impressed

Haha lolololol, I held out a long time, it took my brother buying me the brad nailer to get me hooked in.... I'm glad I am now, with oddball tools this cheap why not!  I'm a DeWalt guy and no green tools are replacing any of my yellow stuff but boy do they make some great supplements.

I bought my angle grinder from a store like that in Wisconsin. We were staying at Great Wolf Lodge and across the way was a mall. We went to wander around and while the wife and kid were in the clothes store I was sitting waiting. Looked down the walk a bit and saw "Tools" and that was all she wrote. Texted the wife "When you come out of the store look to the right and you'll know where I am".

 

The place was pretty cool, and if I had a lot of money with me I'd have bought a lot more. I think I paid around 29 bucks for the angle grinder. Had "Recon" burned into it but who cares, it's been spectacular so far.

I have gone to the dark side:

I've always wanted a set of box end ratchets but never quite enough to shell out the green.  HF is having one of their 20% coupon deals, and the set was under $20 with tax, so let's see how they are.  The chroming is good, but they're awfully thin, and the 12mm is larger than the 13mm.  Whaddya expect, I guess.  We'll see how they do.

 

Of course where there's a wrench set, there's another one of these:

Not as nice as the others.  The piece of firewood I picked out that I thought was ash turned out to be something softer, maybe silver maple.  But it gets the job done, I guess.  The 12mm and 13mm look funny together.

 

Speaking of toolbox organization, the rest of my Goliath socket rails arrived today, so now I have my sockets drawer organized:

I like it. My only complaint is that it container is small. I found my self having to refill it several times.

Can you use it for decking stain?

I have no experience with sprayers for that application. What I can tell you is that most of the working parts are metal with the exception of the hose and the liquid intake stem in the drum. There are some pieces I would remove before using anything tacky. Like a tiny filter on the stem  I have seen others on youtube use pump sprayers for stains and polys, so it seems possible.

I used it and it's pretty good. First tip is always fill it just with water only so when you run it, you can check for leaks and tighten what needs tightening. Once you hit the power button it stays on, motor runs continuously. Once adjusted it sprayed out a nice flow. Overall it's pretty good. The only downside is that 1 gallon capacity sure goes quick. Good buy. I'm also wanting the cordless hot glue gun.

As I stated I experienced the same thing. Which battery did you use? After thinking about it I can't help but wonder if the 4.0ah battery I threw on there caused to work faster than the small black battery that is included in the kit.
