I don't really have a good reason why, but I don't really like most DeWalt products. I DO love my yellow angle grinder, though...

Battery? 3.0aH.

Actually, I have a pair of the (free! w/ coupon) HF scissors that work very well on Milwaukee clamshell packaging.

Not to mention you get to be part of their slightly awkward interviews... Kidding. I love that show, Boston accents and all.

Well, I hate myself for getting another platform...

Just as an aside, the sight of my fatassed 6'6" frame trying to fit under the dash of a tiny little Volvo S40 must have been noteworthy... not to mention I can't see crap up close any more...

Then, I had to do a little work on the GF's Volvo. And of course, my tools were all across town. I needed a T25 Torx at 5:00 on a Sunday, so I ended up buying a couple of Milwaukee drivers and some Torx bits. One of them is my first ratcheting screwdriver. And some trim removal tools from HF. More Team Red love: Team Blue love: I really need to stop just wandering around Lowes. Impulse buys kill me. More Team Green love: A word of warning: a set of 3/8" impacts with free 1/4" impacts for $20 seems like a good deal, but WhoTF decided it was a good idea to skip putting size markings on them? A little HF love: With some older buys: Some pliers: Channellock oil filter pliers and Craftsman/WF duckbills.

So I might have gone a little nuts... I had a thread in the Makita section about a cheap 18 volt drill... well, I hate myself for getting into another charging system, but... Of course, right after I bought it, a friend returned the M18 that I kinda-sorta forgot about... Just what I need, two cheap 18v drills. At least the green one is a hammerdrill... But that allowed me to buy this: Love me some Fuel.... 2654-20 3/8" impact wrench. Thought I was grabbing a 1/2". Oops, I guess I'll need to but another tool. Dang.

Yeah, man, I'm gonna catch you any day now! LOL The high-five I've been doing with my kid lately: <bumping knuckles> Potato! <extending fingers and wiggling them> Fries!

Must..... have.... Though I will admit to not liking handles on my coffee cups, at least travel mugs. Where'd ya get it?

I watch it. I like it. I wish I had his budget for renos. I do find myself checking out the tools being used more that what they are doing, though...

True, Chris, what more could a lady possibly want? LOL I gotta give my GF something special, she has to put up with me... New toolbox? Miter saw? Drill press?

Yeah, any new landscaping here would have blown away yesterday.

I dunno what the soil is like there, but when my dad was landscaping the house I grew up in, on one section of the lawn (kind of a side yard) he hauled in a bunch of horse manure and tilled that in, and that one section of lawn was still significantly more green than the rest of the grass two decades later.

Cool, but I wonder how in the heck you find cheeky Cypress in the PNW?

That would be cool, but I'd probably start talking funny...

Dangit!

Great, something else I didn't know I couldn't live without! LOL

Yeah! That was post #400!

If you guys make it to Portlandia around Christmastime, you have to find a McMennamins and try a Kris Kringle or eight. Dang tasty. In fact, look me up. I'll buy the first four... http://www.mcmenamins.com/1480-mcmenamins-breweries-kris-kringle

That's quite a pile of wood chips!

The aluminum jacks are kinda cool, but the light weight is really of no benefit to how I use them. I needed the extra lifting capacity and $100 in my pocket more than portability.

Huh?

I think Stuey/Toolguyd had a post on this a while ago.
