TIA is a private enterprise, so if some yahoo starts talking junk about the site, I have no problem with our hosts waving the ban stick.

Thanks, I looked. As it is now, I have probably eight 25 foot apes and four or five 12 footers in my work duffel bag, so I really am pretty well set for pocket tapes. Cool as heck, though.

What is this 'need' you speak of? LOL

Except for that funny unit of measure, LOL. I dig the stainless Vogel, unfortunately, I need a tape with Imperial engineers units, like feet/tenths/hundreths. Pretty niche market.

Looking forward to the review on the impact wrench...

Once again, I wish there was a Menards in the People's Republik of Oregon....

I have my eye on that jigsaw...

Yup. http://toolguyd.com/?s=vampliers

I think Stuey/Toolguyd did a review on those a while back.

1. As a surveyor, contractors who park equipment in my way. 2. Contractors who want everything staked, even though after they dig the trench for the sanitary sewer the hubs/nails for the storm sewer and water will be gonzo. One company that has us do some work for them is notorious for this. Of course, it's a game they play, bid too much work for their crews to accomplish in the allotted time frame so go looking for others to blame for their screwups. I really wish the bosses would start writing contracts triple charging restakes... 3. Obnoxiously loud equipment. 3a. Back-up beepers. Our vans have them. I've noticed a lot of the new equipment is coming with alerts that sounds more like scratching (sorta) and that is much better. 4. Having to use DeWalt rotary hammers rather than Milwaukee. Nah, just kidding. I'm just happy to have one. Every other place I've worked had one rotary hammer, usually gas or 110 powered, for the whole company. Not one in every van.

Can you access the internet with the Apple TV? I bought the GF a Roku, but there's a yoga website she wants to be able to access, but you can't do it from the Roku without a third party workaround via a Droid device, and I'm not going to try and figure out her Samsung retardophone...

A three section ladder would scare the crap out of me, but then there aren't many ladders designed to hold up my 330 pound fatass...

Well, since this is the hand tool forum, though it kills me to admit this, Team Yellow has better hand tools (outside of Milwaukee's excellent locking pliers). Power tools, I far prefer Milwaukee, but I'll never make either brand break a sweat with my uses.

Sexy, in an uptight, anal-retentave over-engineered German sort of way...

Might need to pick up one of those blowers...

Just joking, Dwain. I was gonna let you buy it, too. Like a present. LOL

There's your answer!

Fixed it for ya. I'm close with drills... Nice shop Mike....

Nice, man! I'm kinda Jonesing for a bandsaw... I was looking at the Laguna 14" model... but the normal issues, time, money and space...

Nice work, man. I need to upgrade the lighting in the GF's house. I'm not sure she'd go for track lights, though. It'd be totally badass in the garage...

One of you overseas guys can buy me the 1/2 drive kit and send it to me. I'll even let you keep the charger. Gotta love the thought of an 8 pound tool hanging off of a belt clip, though...

Heck, my M18 drill isn't even a Fuel. I'd gladly take either one. But I sure want some of the big batteries...

91% of a bandsaw. http://www.rockler.com/laguna-1412-14-bandsaw?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_content=pla&utm_campaign=PL&sid=V9146&gclid=Cj0KEQjwwIKxBRDKhOz7ytT30vkBEiQAT1NaPS0SZXmDrgmfPkifch14PQUZo2dLnQ-_aJkFt6bflEEaAnXj8P8HAQ

Someplace that offers a discount on Festool? LOL

Cool stuff, Trav.
