Entered, but I fear winning would be like a gateway drug...

Man, I don't even want to know what you were searching for when you found that...

Craftsman 1/2" drive ratchet. I sorta still have it... More accurately, I have the second replacement I traded for when I broke two removing rusty u-bolts on my first Jeep. That would lead to the second tool, a Snap On 1/2" drive breaker bar. LOL

I dunno, man, that pic makes you look 7x older!

Snap On extreme green...

I can't believe what a spoiled little whiner I am, but I sure would like some of the different colored tools they offer in Japan...

I'd buy one of those....

It would be interesting to see if the M18 stuff or the 20v DeWalt tool (does Makita make an 18-20 volt rotary hammer?) would be adequate... Doi hear a tool fight coming up?

Theoretically, selling tools sounds like a good idea. In practice, I can't bring myself to sell any...

My work has 18v XRP DeWalt, and for what you are asking about, I think they'd be overmatched. I mainly drill 1/8" - 1/4" holes in concrete or asphalt pavement (for survey markers) and blow through batteries pretty fast. I can't imagine it would be satisfactory trying to make a 4.5" hole..

Yay, they offer it in Super-Extra-Bubba! (3XL, are you listening Dan and Eric?)

Whoops, I confused the issue with trying to shorten King Dick, forgetting that KD was the precursor to Gearwrench....

Are King Dick still the same tools? I seem to recall reading somewhere that the newer KD tools have been offshored, but I could be wrong about that...

Oooh, daddy like...

Yeah, man, sounds like an interesting thread. I never sell ANYTHING, though...

In my case, depending on who I'm working for, I potentially drive a fair number of 5/8"x30" iron rods (for property corners) and sometimes my aim ain't the greatest....

Sorry to hear this, DR. I hope you managed to keep from dancing when the rave was going on!

I think I have that drill...

Yeah, when I get it, I'm sure I'll be here looking for advise how to fine tune it...

I'm holding out for the brushless coffee maker... LOL

That's one I want to get... my dad has an old Craftsman table saw that's probably older than me that is mine when I get some room for it.

Yeah, we have DeWalt XRP Rotary Hammers at work and they chew thru batteries like crazy! We don't really use them that much, unless setting a control network for a big topo job..

So the Conductor Man is not a hand tool guru? LOL

I'm pretty sure nobody want to see a tall fat hairy yet bald guy either. It never really gets truly cold here in Portlandia, but it sure rains a lot! Rain gear does help keep you warm...

Yeah, lucky! With my luck, the falling tape would miss my brain bucket and take out my collarbone!
