I'm not that evolved... Nobody better be checking my woman! LOL.

Well, if Festool is your point of reference, nothing else will measure up... LOL

I'm not sure I'd ever get around to doing it, but the Japanese market has a range of colors available on Makita tools. Some of them are waaay cool... But yeah, warranty/repair would be a chore...

It's easier to imagine a building that has three, or four, or five levels in height that to visualize 30 or 40 or 50 feet in the air. I measure stuff every day (land surveyor) and I STILL am not very good at it.

Glad you got the purchase behind you Chris. The toy/tool store I stopped at today had a Milwaukee dual compound slider to play around with... I gotta say, I'd rather have the Bosch...

Didn't watch the video yet, but I was just playing around with some BASH sledges at the toy store today. I want a couple...

SAE: Craftsman 6 & 12 point, Husky stubbies Metric: Craftsman 12 point I intend to pick up some polished Wright, and SK stubbies, and possibly some Armstrong XLs (SAE). I also want to get some Hazet metrics and some SK stubby metrics.

Yep, always used the top handle before, though I think I might be picking up a new Bosch, and I'd like to try the barrel style before I do...

I bet that is spooky as heck the first time you unload it, though...

I dunno, Travis is providing them with free press to a pretty sizable group of people who spend a LOT more money than the average on tools, yet it seems as if they want him to beg? No thanks.

<in my best Dr. Evil voice> Riiiiiiiiiiiiight....

Okay, thanks, man!

What more could a guy want?

Touché'!

Thank you, sir! It looks as if the Blackhawks are stamped with a smaller number, but deeper, correct? The Protos don't look to be stamped very deeply...

I just hope that you're not- Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble. Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble. Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble. If you take your whiskey home. Whiskey, miter saw, whatever...

So Chris, have you tried the saw yet? Could this be magic, or could this be love? Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does.

Glad to hear it! I try to make buying USA tools a guide, but a while ago I was wandering around Lowes and was looking at the (at the time) NEW USA made Crescent wrenches. There was still some PRC manufactured ones on the peg as well, and though it pains me to admit it, the Chinese stuff was much better fitted and finished than the USA stuff.

Wally World has far and away the best prices on the Mobil 1 oil I run in my F150 and GF's Expedition. And I can buy 10 packs of Monster energy drinks. Outside of that (well, and Nolan's Halloween costume) I don't have a lot of use for the place. Heck, I mostly park in the back 40 anyway, so small parking spots aren't a big deal for me....

Oh man, I need to find a print of that poster...

My employers generally don't want me carrying a pistol, so I just stick with a Leatherman Supertool 300. And, honestly with everything else I carry at work, a Smith & Wesson 629 would be a lot of extra weight to carry...

Thanks, guys. The two sets of 1/4" sockets were kind of a mistake. I went to a shop in inner SE Portland and bought the Gearwrench, but I was so worried about not getting PRC-made tools that i didn't see they were 12 point, and I really wanted 6, so I went to NAPA and picked up the Carlyle. Well, more tools are better, right?

And since I had my DSLR out, I got a shot or two of my new stuff this week As they say in Boston, I got a little Ahh-tistic

Screwdrivers (more on his workbench) 'Vice Grips' I don't know where the hell the Great Neck came from There's other stuff in there, but nothing very noteworthy...
