  1. Honestly you cant really go wrong with any brand it seems these days.  They all offer great products and have a good variety of tools in their lineup.  Im a milwaukee guy myself, I love their products.  They are built well, and just are great tools.  I see you already have the makita 12v so maybe stick with them if you like them and their 18v lineup offers what you need.  I dont know if they have chargers like milwaukee but its nice to be able to charge my 18v and 12v batteries on one milwaukee charger.

  2. I know this doesnt really answer your original question, but Im a huge believer in a full size trucks.  I have myself an 06 f150, which you can pick up a lesser model for around your price range and they are known to last 200-300k easily also..  The full size truck is just so much more capable than any mid size.  And if you do end up going with the 6cyl mid size, the difference in fuel mileage in a full size with a v8 is slim.  Somebody mentioned the taco with a 6 gets 14-19?  The 5.4 f150 I average 15 city and can see 20 highway.  With that said, I really dont see the point in mid sized trucks unless you live or work in an area where parking is very tight, like a city environment.  

     

    BUT if you insist on the taco, MY .02 would be go with the 6cyl. Not only will you have more power but Id imagine youll get other luxuries like bigger brakes, maybe a trans cooler if they are even offered in the toyota. If your business gets bigger than your truck can handle, that motor will give you the option to tow a trailer.  I wouldnt trust towing anything with a 4 banger.

  3. I just had a door to door salesman talk to me about switching to solar energy.  The company is Vivint Solar.  As usual with any door to door I let him talk then told him to leave a card and Ill think about it, usually with no intent to ever get back to them.  But this is the second company in our area that has become sort of a 'thing'.  The second company I have noticed is Solar City.  Basically what they do is evaluate your home's roof to see if your capable to produce enough energy through their installed panels to cover the energy usage in your home and charge you a specific rate lower than the power company you use currently.  At first I thought this was a scam when Solar City came up, but now it seems to be getting more popular and I see a few houses in the neighborhood getting panels installed.  Do any of you have experience with these companies?  Im not a 'go green nerd' but if these companies are legit and can save me some money while going green too, I may be interested. Just not a fan of signing something I have no freaking clue about.

     

    Thoughts??

  4. haha I think poor Bob is compensating for something little.  Thats like seeing a barely 5 foot tall man climb out of an 8 inch lifted truck with super swampers that have never seen dirt in their life.

  5. Just scored a tall Husky 36' metal storage cabinet for $60 on clearance!!  Original price is over $300.  Im not sure why it was marked down so low.  As for the cabinet, it isn't the best quality I've seen. Definitely wouldn't have been worth its full price. It works perfect for what I need it for tho, holding all my auto detailing supplies.

     

    Didn't have time to take a pic but here is the stock picture:
