By 11PM I had successfully picked half the locks in my house and all of the master locks.

I picked through our front door with one of my sisters bobby pins... lol

[Pocket Hose]

I have used one a little bit, and its easy to coil (altho nothing like the add) when you turn on the water it expands then when you turn on the attachent on the end of the hose, it shrinks back, because there isnt any pressure in the hose.. if that makes any sense...

[Guess what i just got!!]

great selection of small sockets............... to throw at the car in front of me stuck on the expressway with a 300' opening because that guy is too busy texting instead of driving

LOL!

[Right angle nut drivers]

You would think something like that would be more common, but then if it was common then you would never need it, lol

[Guess what i just got!!]

Just bought a new stanley socket set! very excited, so the fist thing i do is go to the tools in action forum and tell every one about it, lol. but any way,got it at walmart for $46, also got a 10% discount because there was a little bit of damage on the case, came with the little socket set too.

Wonder what the orange right was for.

You mean the orange ring at the bottom?, i think that is so you don't get to close to what you are weed eating around, because it accualy has a replaceable plastic "blade" other than that it doesnt do any thing besides pushing the grass over before the blade gets to it, making it so it doesnt even cut... lol

[Has any one seen any thing like this before??]

its an old Makita 7.2v weed-eater thing.32" long,I haven't had any luck finding it on the internet. I accually found it in the trash, along with a 7.2v drill, charger and two good batteries!! So if any one knows any thing about this, or what it's worth, please let me know!

[What is your go to EDC?]

This is my EDC, I don't have a leatherman, just a cheap multi tool from Walmart. A kershaw knife, a lighter (I DON'T SMOKE!) Thrunight Ti2, and a tactical pen..

[Bosch cordless garden tools]

Very cool, and that is a beast of a charger!

[Where to find cheap lawnmower batteries?]

Right now walmart has them for $20 and i think farm and fleet has them for $16

[Your worst ever power tool ( discuss)]

I have had pretty good luck with cheap tools so far, i'v never bought a cheap power tool, but i'v bought lots of cheap hand tools, mainly from menards, they are great for what i use them for!

[Planing on buying drill, impact set]

nope, haven't bought any thing yet (I am very indecisive) Was just in Home depot and menards yesterday found a ryobi 4 piece combo kit for $130.Comes with sawzall, drill, circular saw, and work light.I wouldn't be using it that often exept for the drill. i know ryobi isn't the best, but it has a good 18v tool selection that is fairly cheap, and in the future i would also like an impact wrench, which they also sell for $120   Do you think this would be good?

[Makita 18v chainsaw vs Gas chainsaw]

Thanks! I wasn't accualy planning on buying one, was in the hardware store and saw the cordless chainsaw (and a makita 18v coffee maker!) and was curios on how it would stack up to a gas one. But i will remember this if i ever do buy one!      ok, correction, maybe i am planing on buying one, lol

[looking to upgrade into a new tool brand any ideas?]

MAKITA!! they even have an 18v cordless coffee maker!

[Planing on buying drill, impact set]

hmm, it's nice how compact the bosch 12v impact driver is

looks like none of those ^ are available for under $150 on amazon. BUT if you spend $169, you can get the brand new metal-chuck bosch drill, and be the envy of all your friends - http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-CLPK232A-181-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Combo/dp/B01CQP9QC4/ref=sr_1_201?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1463971555&sr=1-201&keywords=drill+and+impact+driver

It is a beautiful set, but unfortunately the price is a bit high for me

[Makita 18v chainsaw vs Gas chainsaw]

Just wondering(not planing on buying one any time soon) How does the makita 18v (the one that takes two batteries) chainsaw compare to a "mid-range" stihl chainsaw. it would only be used a few times a year, and my Dad already has the the makita 18v line

[Planing on buying drill, impact set]

Thanks! i will let you guys know if i decide on one of these

[Planing on buying drill, impact set]

Oh, and my uncle has the hitachi set, and i have used it so i know i like it, but the bosch 18v set is convincing for $140

[Planing on buying drill, impact set]

I'm planing on buying a drill, impact driver set, not sure what to get.also not sure if i want a full sized set or a compact set. The main thing is the price...I would like it to be under $150(or cheaper). For $100 on amazon there is the hitachi compact 12v set, and at menards the bosch 18v set is on sale for $140. Any suggestions?

[First tool you'd buy if you won the lottery?]

^{hmm, maybe like a flood light? having a superbright and portable light would be great ,and better than trying to prop up a flashlight!}     

[can anyone else not comment on youtube vids?]

Are you logged in under your name?

yep

[Absolutely jaw dropping!!!!!]

hmm, when first saw that vid I thought it looked great, but if I were a homeowner I would still buy  name brand tools... cheap tools don't last....
