Glad he sold it to me, I've already disassembled it, drilled out the broken screws in the jaw and some rusted parts are soaking in Evapo-Rust. Right now I'm looking for a replacement hardened steel jaw or will make some aluminum jaws for it. Also going to strip it and repaint it. I'm thinking teal (like a 50s Chevy or a bright red), what do you guys think? CC: @rrich1 Teal would be pretty neat for the vise. I'd check eBay or Owen.org for replacement jaws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on it, was thinking that neptune greenish and an off-white color but trying to decide to just the logos and letters or to do the bottom stripes or do those sunken areas near the jaws. I'm leaning towards logo and letters only but strongly considering the sunken areas. BTW, I measured at Lowe's today, I think the Irwin jaws will fit!

jtkendall Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Karcher K 2 Compact showed up today, there’s a little preview video of it cleaning my sidewalk on my Instagram. Nice little machine, worth the ~$100 investment. I wish the base was a little heavier though because I had a few moments where I had to stop because it was tipping. That’s mostly from new hoses that need to be broken in I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabee Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bought a brand new One Key M18 Fuel Hammer Drill/Impact combo for under $270 on eBay. Considering they go for $399 off the shelves at HD it sounded too good to pass up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Just got in a mixed 10 pack of flap discs from Benchmark Abrasives. Not thrilled with how they shipped them but I guess I can’t complain too much for $10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 $20 from a pawn shop, all USA made. Brand new router bits and used but decent condition tap holder, I wanted a spare for my screw extractor set: eBay score, I have the SO Instinct hard handles but wanted to try the soft, these feel a LOT better in the hand. This made my day. Another eBay find, lost out on the auction for one last week which sold for over $100, one on eBay now for $200. Before it was discontinued it was $750, it's replacement is $850+! ...I paid $30 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Harbor freight coupon + Menards 11% rebate match ftw! Needed a full sized router besides my Triton. The Triton is a monster hp wise and size wise. This will be much better for hand held use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetBuilder Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I picked up some Occidental bags a few months ago, but have never been real happy with them. I ordered this set from Diamondback and think they will suit my needs a bit better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Ordered a second Flexvolt grinder kit while the free battery deal is still going on, battery is on back order so 7-10 days until it arrives (along with the one for my original grinder kit). Planned on getting a second one anyway but didn't realize the battery deal was expiring at the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Kept hearing about how good these Proto/MAC screwdrivers are(on my multi-screwdriver pic), wasn't going to splurge for the whole set before trying one out: Gift from Sears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm2176 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Stopped into Lowe's yesterday and walked out with an old Bosch promo that time seems to have forgotten - the PS31 kit in an L-Boxx with free 12v radio. The box was faded and dusty, but the clearance sticker was still prominent: $104, was $149. Came out under $100 with discount. A quick search shows that these kits were sold for $100 a couple of years ago. Still, I'm happy. My old PC 12v Max stuff will be gifted to a friend now, and I get to check out Bosch tools (and deals) now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Ordered some TSTAK II's last week from Zoro, got here today and I think I only need one or two more of them with everything else going into deep TSTAK's or TSTAK open totes. A Dewalt 611 with plunge base, two Ryobi router bit sets, Whiteside spiral up cut bit, and a edge guide fits nicely with some extra space for more bits. I was really hoping this would be the case because it does not fit very well in it's bag. I put the other two to good use so I now have an impact wrench with flashlight kit in the car in case of a breakdown and a drill and impact kit for the common projects that people usually want my help with. Also got some more Klein canvas bags for small items and parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
