I’ve got that Kurt, it’s really nice.
Good to hear, sir.

No experience with it yet, but if the miter slot on my old Craftsman table saw fits it, I’m looking very seriously at the Incra 1000 HD.

I recently added the Long 1/4” Mac Axis to my arsenal. I waited to long to find a deal on one and paid full blown retail for it, but it’s a nice addition.
One of the guys from GJ had a video showing a 1/4” and 3/8” Proto version. Me want....

It was awesome finally meeting you. Fun time and hope we can get to meet up again.
Hopefully on one of my trips to South Bend (via Chicago) I’ll get to meet you guys as well.

Has anybody seen a projected release date for anything? (Most interested in the impact wrenches/driver and cutoff tool.)
-
Oh crap, I didn’t see the 3/8” mid torque impact...
I think the M12 cutoff may make it into my garage....
-
Just watched a video on new M12 impact wrenches.... 1/2” and 3/8” with OVER 250 FT/LBS OF TORQUE! Holy cow!

Toyota Tundra Crewmax.
Mebbe. I've had a Toyota before. But the true crew cab is goofy looking, and I don't think you can get a 6.5" bed with it. I'm pretty much of a Ford guy anymore, so maybe an F150, maybe a Super Duty.

Well, the GF bought me a Husqvarna riding mower, so I guess the tractor is on hold. However, my Expedition blew a head gasket, and I think that may be above my skill level to fix. Local shop wants North of three grand to fix, so it's new used truck time for me. Grrr.

Love my gen 1 combo set, beautiful machines. Doubt I'll upgrade due to budget, but good to see innovative ideas bearing fruit.
I might get the drill. I doubt I can justify another 12v impact driver.
Nah, I can justify anything...

Let me be the first to whine that I'll be waiting for the brushless model. LOL Actually, it looks pretty cool, but my personal sanding needs will be met by corded stuff.

@BK13....sanding decks ? You must invest in new decking, AZEK...any color , no screw holes, composite material, 40yrs....
Just looking to make it look pretty to sell the place. Of course, with what I spent on sandpaper and deck stain, a new deck surface might have been a better idea. Particularly if I put any value on my time. LOL

Chrome and impact U-joints are absolutely necessary if you're going to wrench on a semi-regular basis. I don't find wobbles to be all that helpful.
Really? I use wobble extensions all the time. I hate u-joints, though... but to be fair, one of these days I’m gonna order up some KoKen and Nepros universal joints and give them a try....

With my compact m18 Fuel, thread then hit with the impact one the fastest speed to two impacts, gets me to about 70 ft/lbs, then I use a torque wrench. It's about a half turn away.
I use either my mid-torque, M18 3/8” compact, or 3/8” M12 on setting one and run them in until they impact. Then hit them with the torque wrench.
You say tow-may-to, I say tow-hah-to... LOL

custom router table
I’ve seen some sweet router tables built into table saws...

True, mine was comfortable enough but still a little small for my 5'11" height. The military knows how to make even the largest vehicles uncomfortably small, though. Armored HMMWV variants are cramped for someone even my size, especially when you add body armor and battlefield tracking systems.
Yeah, I sat in a civvy version and was amazed at how tight it was.

I want get another flat fender Jeep one day. They're slow, moody, and most need a lot of work these days, but the classic original look is unmatched by anything since. Then again, I'm a fan of military history, so a CJ-3B might suffice, since they are similar to the Korean War era M38A1. One of these days...
I love flatties, but they don’t work so well for 6’6” 300+ lb. guys....

Thanks, D!

I won’t buy one but the diesel F150 is pretty interesting.

Fair enough. It all works. I've just had bad experiences with the stuff and carbon buildup. When looking for an explanation I was told it's because they go heavy on the graphite as an additive.
Truth be told, I never opened either engine up to check for sludge. But they just kept working.
What tools did you buy today?

Little Man and I stopped by the farm store, and they had a Husqvarna 135 chainsaw marked about $30 less than anyplace else I’ve seen, so we picked it up, along with a quart can of 40:1 VP fuel. And a pair of Carhartt pants for the kid.
