Found your problem!

Swapping the radiator in my 1990 Cherokee was pretty straightforward too, glad to see they haven't overcomplicated it.

I suck at programming and dancing.

I wonder if they padded the weight just to make you guess.

I need a bigger truck for work and family. The only thing that holds me back other than having a payment is the mpg. I get around 23 mpg overall, the new full size trucks are getting closer to where I feel comfortable.
Maybe you and suretyler97 can trade

V40?

05' Colorado. Can't beat it for the MPG. As long as I get another year or two out of it I'll be good and on my way to a full size.
Odd, most people I know want smaller trucks. One of my clients restored a 70's Toyota Pickup, I think he used a rebuilt 2M, upgraded carbs, airbags, and a custom steel and hardwood flatbed. It looks awesome.

He has money, but also very little interest in tools and handyness. I'll suggest getting a cheap power supply from ebay if the specs are on the label. Otherwise yeah, probably B&D or Ryobi.

Ow.

Is this something where everyone is entered automatically? I'd love that M18 set, I could really use a new drill, and my impact driver is toast, it ate it's cooling fan so I can only use it in short bursts. I could stop borrowing my dad's Sawzall too.

I'll start:
2008 BMW 535i Sport, Space Gray.
No performance mods, lowered slightly, ham radio. Just bought it this summer, but I plan to mod it some more.
1990 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) Laredo, Charcoal Gray.
2" lift, 30x9.5" Tires, JCR front bumper, cone intake, stainless exhaust w/Flowmaster 50, upgraded injectors, '91+ cooling system, Durango steering gear w/C-Rok brace, ZJ steering linkage, LED lights all around (everything except driving, fog, and spotlight for beam quality), dual battery system, onboard inverter, ham and CB.
All work done by me so far.

Here in the northwest US rust isn't an issue. My Jeep is 25 years old and it's just got a little surface rust on the external parts which aren't constantly sprayed with oil.
-
Those prices are insane. Those look like tools you'd find at Goodwill, you could definitely find a better deal on eBay for like-new or even refurbished.

Very cool of you to do this! I'm definitely in need of a new drill, and even one of those saws would be nice too. I've got an AC Bosch Jigsaw, and I love it.
Rest assured that if I win I will be sticking around, I'd even write a review of it.

Favorite all around: Foursevens Quark Pro w/ Burst, close second Fenix PD35
Most carried: Fenix LD09, Foursevens Quark Pro w/ Burst
Most with me in the truck: Nitecore MH12
Most comfortable on a keychain:
Foursevens Atom A0
Bedside: Foursevens Quark123 w/ red filter
Best To attach to a ballcap: Thrunite Ti3
Very nice collection, I'm a fan of Foursevens stuff, I bought my first Fenix and Zebralight from David when he ran Fenix-Store.com. I liked the Maelstrom G5 so much I bought three! Also my Q Mini 123 is one of the limited run warm white, one of the nicest tints I have, similar to the Luxeon K2 TFFC.
How do you like the new style Preon?

What an awesome post Electromage, you have an amazing collection of flashlights. It would take me many years to get to where you are, but I am not sure I want to have that many lol. I seem to be mostly impressed with the Nitecore's and Fenix lights, I think they are well made, and any flashlight using 18650 lithium's are well worth the money IMO. Some of your lights have interesting shapes, like that blue one for example, and there is even one of them that looks like it has an air connect for an compressor on the bottom of it lol. I don't think you have a Nitecore EC4 yet though
But you do have a Nitecore EC10 is it called? What I think is weird about these flashlight models is that often times you have a higher model number, yet the lights produces less lumens, doesn't make sense to me lol.Nitecore has this hammer light that produces at least 2000 lumens and it runs on double a batteries, I am impressed, who knew you could produce so much power with dinky batteries such as double a's running 1.5v. Now of course their Tiny Monster line is their flagship models but to be honest, the price is just too high for 3500 lumens. And while the TM15 might be no bigger then a soda can, the TM36 is far larger, and you would definitely need a pouch to carry them, cause the only pocket that is going to fit a TM36 is going have to be a backpack lol.
Still impressive with the lumens and everything, but the same reason why you have more smaller flashlights, is because I think our thinking is along the same lines. Most of us don't need more then 1000 lumens, and I think its pretty awesome that we can get 1000 lumens even out of a single 18650 cell flashlight! The reason I ellected to go with a 2 cell though is due to runtime. If my Nitecore lasts 1.5 hours on turbo mode with a 2 - 2600MAH rated batteries, then a a single cell light with 2600MAH battery at 1000 lumens can't last longer then say 30 minutes right?
Electromage, out of all the flashlights you own, what brand would you say is your favorite and why? Be honest or I will flash you with my 1000 lumens of death power lol
It has taken me years! I sort of started around 2000, and took off when I joined CPF in 2005.
The blue one is a Hexbright Flex, it's got a programmable microcontroller, so it can be programmed through USB using the Arduino IDE. It has two lights in the tailcap red/green, accelerometer, and thermal sensor. It can be controlled using any of those sensors, which leads to some interesting things. Right now it's running a program that allows it to be controlled by holding down the button and rotating or tapping the body of the light to adjust the output or select strobe modes.
The small "air compressor" light is a Prometheus Beta-QR with NS finish (from Jason Hui/Dark Sucks). Both of those are from Kickstarters.
I don't have an EC4, and may never. I tend to buy lights that have certain features that apply to other lights, but not too much overlap. For instance, the Fenix TK35 has comparable body style, led, and reflector to the EC4, and the EC11 has a comparable button interface. The SRT7 has about the same beam, but different runtime and UI. This way I can predict pretty well how certain lights will work by looking at aspects of lights that I have or use. I can't buy ALL of them!
My TM11 wasn't very expensive, I paid $100.
Sorry, I'd rather not talk about favorite brands. Any company can make a good or bad product, and this changes over time. Same with cars, phones, power tools... SureFire is the brand that I own the most of, but I've been adding more Nitecore lately. My primary EDC lights have been Streamlight, SureFire, EagleTac, Sunwayman, and Nitecore. The modded JetBeam M2S lives on my nightstand, and my AR-15 has a 4Sevens Maelstrom G5 in an Olight mount.

My friend has a Genesis brand 18V NiCd drill, and he lost the wall wart that powers the charger adapter, does anyone happen to know what the voltage/current specs are so I can find him a replacement? He knows the drill is a piece of crap, but he'd rather have a charged piece of crap than a dead one.

"Up to 75% off", so probably a lot less for the actual tools and kits. Also it looks like it's based on MSRP.

I don't have a problem! I can stop anytime I want!
(I didn't paint that wall)

This one is high on the wish list.....its a power house, it will shoot a maximum beam distance of 5 1/2 football fields long.... this thing is badass
http://www.eagletac.com/html/mx30l3/index.html
That might have to go on my wish list too! I have an SX25L3, and it's very bright. Generally well-built too, but I had a warranty issue. Pacific Tactical Solutions took good care of me and got the affected parts swapped out, it's working great now.
-
Nice tactical flashlight, you even got the tactical bezel on front. I've been told that the CR123 batteries don't last long on a charge though as opposed to the 18650 batteries, so I would be curious to know how long your flashlight runs on the high mode. And I agree, that should be plenty of lumens
They look like 18650s. You're right though, 16340/RCR123s are usually around 3Wh/ea and 18650s are up to 12.5Wh.

Buy a Dewalt, should clear your problem right up
You seem to be lost!

Wow, that's some crazy stuff. Definitely not your average tool bag.

That's what happens when you can't say no in IT.
