  1. Thanks! Lol dont get me wrong I love the DCD985 and not trading our out for one, but as soon as it breaks or we need another i wont think twice about getting the DCD795. Comerica is nice, never been down to the shop tho. What part of michigan you from?
  2. Thanks guys! Yeah we get to work at a baseball park on game days im there from 9-11ish (about an hour after the game) gotta enjoy it to deal with those hours lol Was talking to our building engineer today about our tools, he has different tools than us he went mostly kobalt for hand tools and chests, but dewalt 20v for all this power tools. Hes got a DCD795D2 i cant believe how much lighter it is that our DCD985! Its amazing, im extremely jealous, he did say that during construction someone stole his tho ;( luckily we only had a few items walk off during the last leg of construction.
  3. Yes we are very fortunate to have alot of nice tools and a good size shop, currently my biggest concern is finding more space for various items. I can assure you most of the equipment is kept spotless and in great condition, so when we need a new mower or something else we are more likely to get it because they notice how nice we keep everything. ironically the dirtiest tool in the shop is our hotsy. The shop floor will get a epoxy finish on it this winter aswell.
  4. Heres a few more pictures Another one of my favorite tools heres our 2 JD ProGators, one has a sprayer unit on currently but we have a topdressor and bed for it aswell. you can also see our soil bins in the background.
  5. Thanks guys its come along way from the empty space we started with. Haha id make the trip but I dont work for free
  6. Nice and organized i like it!
  7. Hey everybody, I mentioned in my intro thread id make a thread showing where i work. I am the assistant groundskeeper at a triple A baseball team here in El Paso TX. The stadium was built this past year, meaning i was able to build our shop and fill it with tools. We went with mostly John Deere, Stihl, Craftsman, and Dewalt tools. Any way here are the pictures please keep in mind these tools arent mind but still thought some might find it interesting our dewalt 20v lineup We have 2 of these grease guns, one for John Deere HD water resistant grease and another for John Deere Cornhead grease. a basic layout of the workbench area of the shop We are also lucky enough to have a Golflift GL9 to make maintianing our equipment easier (my mower before the canopy was installed) And my personal favorite piece in the shop (has a canopy now) our john deere dealer also set us up with a oil cabnet filled with oil, grease, hydraulic fluid and spare parts like spark plugs, bedknives, and filters. And a picture of the field too
  8. I will say that I bought Dewalts 20v line for my tools at work and am impressed as well, its between dewalt and makita when i jump into li ion
  9. My dad went from older DeWalt nicad tools to makita drill and impact set a couple years ago. I hadnt used alot of makita tools other than my dads miter box. I borrowed his impact and drill to help my brother in law build his deck and i was really impressed. Then last year when i was working at the Milwaukee Brewers, we hosted Spartan Race and we used makitas to built all the obstacles they fell off a wall from about 10 feet onto concrete, it was raining all day and a few times they got very wet including laying in puddles, I was really impressed after that day. That and now my brother in law, dad and a friend of my dad has the makita drill and impact 18v sets so itd be nice just to have the same platform as them when helping each other out.
  10. cant beat carhartt for winter work. if not that ill wear insulated jeans and a heavy columbia coat
  11. I first used a kreg jig when i was in high school, my dad has one too that i used on a few projects. Great tool indeed!
  12. nice review, I am considering makita when i jump into a line of tools.
  13. Glad to see descent reviews on this might be a kit worth looking into, can never had too many sockets
  14. I have a few sets of traditional Craftsman combo wrenches at work and a set of their ratcheting combos (love these) In my personal tool box i have a set of husky wrenches, a small set of husky stubby wrenches, and a set of GearWrench ratcheting combos. I love using the ratcheting wrenches, Id rather use those than a socket 95% of the time.
  15. Thanks for the welcome everybody! I grew up in Freeland (midland/saginaw area) but growing up my family built our cottage on lake huron in Oscoda, and then I went to school at Michigan State University.
