    New car

    Ime not much into sports cars an can't tell you much about them. However I do know I always liked the look of the viper.
  2. I just looked it up an Home Depot sells it for 195. That's pretty pricy for a sprayer. Like you said thoe if you use it a lot it's worth it.
  3. I would love to see more pictures. I use to have my grandpas craftsman tablesaw. I planned on mechanically restoring it but never got to doing it.
  4. At work we use the one listed below. All we spray from it is a degreaser. I have no idea what they cost but there pretty tough. Highly recommend them from a user standpoint. http://www.smithperformancesprayers.com/industrial-and-contractor/s103e.php Also i would recommend not to go with the ones at Home Depot under the round up brand. We had one last year an it was horrible. It was a cheap to purchase but we got what we paid for. Leaked leaked an leaked even more.
  5. Happy Easter, enjoy the day an remember why
  6. Personally I wouldn't of bought a ryobi chainsaw. He was trying to be cheap an well look what happened. I know there not the best but one would think you would get more use out of it. We just bought that fuel that day from homedepot an it was still good, so it couldn't be that. He's just gonna return it thoe so all is good. Before the fire I had several cheap chainsaws, that I repaired. Ususally all they needed is a spark plug an someone was throwing them away. I also had a good stihl farm boss an a broken ms650 I think it was. The farm boss was my go to saw. After the fire I went from all those to the stihl ms441. The 441 is a great saw but rather pricy. It's a true professional saw an worth the money. I don't use it as much as I did a year ago. It's still good to have thoe.
  7. My mom got my dad one about 3 or 4 years ago. It was the grey an blue motor then the shaft could be changed out for different attachments. She just got the blower an trimmer. Both me an my dad didn't care much for it. Not even a full summer of use the shaft were the attachments change stripped out. The head on the trimmer itself was half broken as well.
  8. Thanks for the advice guys. He is just gonna take it back later today.
  9. Pretty neat idea, wonder how it works. I really on use a 5 foot hose. The only air tool I run is my plasma cutter so I don't really need a long hose. I have two other big hoses but dont use them. I wouldn't mind having one of those.
  10. My neighbor got a ryobi chainsaw at Home Depot. We started it up right of the box just fine. It ran as expected. Ran it off an on for about 30 minutes. When we went to start it again an it won't start. Tried everything We can think of but no luck. Looked at the manual again an still no luck. We went to lunch an let it cool down, still no luck when we got back. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas? Are we missing the obvious or is it a complete piece of garbage? Ultimately I got my stihl an we finished removing the small tree. Hes probably just gonna take it back to HD if we can't get it going. Literally not even a day old an already problems. I don't expect a good saw for like 175 bucks including tru fuel an bar oil. I do expect it to run a little more then a day of light use.
  11. From the ones I have Millwakee pliers aren't all that bad, especially for the money.
  12. Sorry to hear. There's obviously nothing I can say to reverse the situation an make things good but I will say her an your family are in my prayers. I took care of my grandma on dads side with stage 6(of 7) alztimers for several months before we put her in a home. Shortly after putting her in a home she fell broke her hip, an shoulder as well as previous heart complications re occurred. I was by her side when she took her last breath just days later. The only thing that comforted me is the fact I knew she wasn't in pain anymore. I know she wouldn't want to live like that, an she wasn't trually her for the last few years. I mean she didn't know who I was better yet what I was doing feeding her food when she didn't even remember how to cut up her own food or keep her lips closed around a straw. Anyway for me it helps to remember that she's no longer in pain an struggling. My personal belief is she is in heaven. My grandpa on moms side is a Korean war vet. He served for 23 years, U.S. Army. He is tough as nails. He's in Arkansas an Ime in Utah. I go there when I can but its not often. He's going downhill physically. Mentally that dudes sharp as a tack. He does have PTSD thoe. The biggest worry I have is that he's not being taken care of. With my grandma I knew she was cause I personally did care for her till we put her in a home were I stopped almost daily. Man I miss him. Again your in my prayers man.
  13. I was given a snap on branded multi tool at Christmas. My aunt was so happy snap on tools are now sold at Costco. I didn't have the heart to say it's only good for scrap metal. Cheapest built I've ever seen in a latherman type tool.
  14. There was a greek restaurant in my area that just got shutdown cause no hot water heater. about a year ago there was a McDonald's with mold in there ice machines.
  15. Honestly I got confused reading written advice on the Internet. Watching YouTube helped a little but still confusing. I found it best to get some time under the hood with a experienced welders instruction. I also went to community colloge for welding. The classes only helped with the technical aspects an print reading. Welding was done in a lab on coupons. I still got the most benefit in the shop an field with a actual welder guiding me.
  16. When I was in a vocational program for construction we used hitatchi an bostich framers. We had a ridgid model but we all hated it. The thing jammed more often. For me the balance wasn't the best either. Keep in in mind that was back a few years. Things may have changed by now.
  17. I have a stihl ms441cm, with 25" bar. Its a full professional saw, not like ones at big box stores. There's not many stihl products you can go wrong with, even husquvarna makes a decent saw. I know a lot of people say use your sawzaw. sawzaws are great but a chainsaw is irreplaceable. Storms are always around the corner an you never know when a chainsaw is needed. I mean I love my m18 fuel sawzaw an use it for trimming but it's not a replacement for a chainsaw. Everyone else thoe is certainly correct about the safety aspect. Chainsaws are much more dangerous so use it properly.
  18. I would think the boschs handle style an battery placement would get in the way. Especially when cutting close to the floor or up going up against a wall. I know you can maneuver the tool but you can only angle it so much. with that said I would still give it a try.
  19. I should also add.... I am not entirely sure how the composites will hold up over time. I would think proto did testing but the real world is different then a lab. Also cold an heat seem to be hard on any tool that's on our field service trucks.
  20. Not entirely sure why composites are doing well. Honestly I myself don't care what the tool materials are as long as they hold up. Looks are also don't matter to me. I just want a good working tool. I like the proto ones because of size, balance, power. It's also easy to use an can easily be controlled with gloves on.
  21. We got a few new proto ones at work. They are all top notch in my book. Not sure if there rebranded but there pretty good.
  22. For you it sounds like the rollair jc10 or even there trim buddy would be a good consideration. I know rollair is pricy but there worth it. I own a rollair vt25big I run my plasma cutter off of. I also know a lot of guys who run rollair an are pleased.
  23. I was wondering what's a project everyone wants to take on in the future? It can be anything big or small. Personally I want to build a welding trailer. It would be nice to have a trailer I can disconnect during the week but take with on the week d side jobs I do. I have the welder and tools I just don't have the funds for a trailer an other stuff I want on it.
  24. I keep considering one but never pulled the trigger. I have the m12 fuel drill, fuel impact, an oscillating tool an very pleased with them all.
