    Just don't use Pennzoil and you'll be fine. They're all salesman. 

    LOL, I had probably 400k miles running Pennzoil in my old Toyota and CJ5 (and current CJ7) with absolutely no oil issues. I did switch to Mobil 1 in my Expedition and the GF’s two Volvos. Most motor oil these days are pretty decent.

    Love and Respect SawStop technology, BUT (hate) the company, and their ethics. I'm in a predicament, I want to replace my Grizzly table saw, that was sold to me, under false pretenses, knowing there was a issue with it, and later sending me out a "FIX". Do I purchase a SawStop, knowing they are kind of a "scum" company, but like the technology, or do I purchase from LAGUNA, a company that I respect?  

     

    Honesty, the majority of the time, I have the blade guard on, unless I am doing a dado, or a half lap. 

     

    All I know is, I will NEVER purchase another tool from Grizzly!

    I would like to get a Laguna. But a new table saw is pretty far down the list of new tools for me....

    I am not planning to do anything to extreme so I'll see. I had the earlier rotary hammer and it worked fine. I once used it to drill about 20 1/4" holes 6" deep and it performed flawlessly. Personally I would prefer something a little beefier i.e. the Dewalt or Milwaukee D handle one, but that is not an option for me.

    Depending on where you’re going to be using it, corded might be a better option....

    Is there a Ventrac in your future.  Dan endorsed.

    Probably not. Most likely (in order)

    1. Kubota

    2. Massey-Ferguson

    3. John Deere

    It’s pretty flat ground and my needs are pretty simple. Mostly mowing my lawn and the grass between trees, yanking out stumps, tilling my garden, and a one time task of redoing/leveling/smoothing my lawn.

     

    And Dan’s afraid of saws. I’m not taking advise from THAT guy. LOL

    OP, thank you for your service! Your sacrifice allow us tool dorks the freedom to follow our tool acquisition drives.

     

    As far as what tools, ‘plans’ is too strong of word. I need to get a subcompact tractor as I just bought some land with a Christmas tree farm on it, and a pretty good sized lawn... looking at ~25 HP models from Massey Ferguson, John Deere, and Kubota. I think I kinda want a loader and backhoe.... I do want a tiller and mower, I figure I should be able to rent a box blade when I need one.

     

    I need to get a couple of chain saws, big and little, if I don’t end up finding the Husquvarna I think the GF’s son stole.

     

    I do want the new M12 Fuel drill, the Fuel ratchets. I kinda want an M18 sawzall. M18 Fuel compact 1/2” impact wrench. Surge impact driver.

     

    Kinda want to get a mitre saw (maybe Bosch), one or two bandsaws (little Rikon, bigger Laguna) track saw (Makita corded), spindle sander. If I don’t end up getting my grandfather’s old CM table saw tuned up the way I want it, I would like to pick up a Delta or Laguna.

    Yeah actually used my 3/4 breaker bar me than my 1/2". Not sure if I'll ever need that 1" drive proto ratchet though.

    If I can fool myself enough to justify 3/4” stuff, it’ll likely be Wright.

    When I moved to Sandy, Oregon, I noticed there were a bunch of douchenozzles running LED conversion bulbs in conventional halogen housings, with majorly annoying results, I could tell that light coverage for them was very splotchy and uneven, and undoubtedly they would glare the crap out of me, and I drive a full size truck. Don't even get me started on the (non-DOT approved) LED light bars. Buy, hey, they're bright and cool!

    It would help taking lugs off our machines, lull etc...when we get a flat....

    .....gotta love jeeps...I have a 06 rubi.....I think the mid torque is probably enough for anything on the Jeep 

    I already have 3/8" Fuel Compact in M12 and M18 variety. But when I pull the front shackle hangers off I kinda doubt the M18 will do the job. I've not had any problems with lug nuts with either, but then I'm pretty neurotic about keeping brake dust off of my wheels, to the point of yanking them off the rig. So therefor, the lug threads are clean and usually put some anti-seize or grease on 'em. Granted, all my rigs are 1/2 tons. A 1 ton dually might be a bit more of a challenge.
