I wanna Metabo grinder so bad. The kind of places that sell Metabo are the kind of places that sell hilti and supply major industrial companies. Lowe's is a home improvement store. I don't know who thought that would be a good idea to sell them there.

Hmmmmm.... I need to spend more time sharpening my knives. My problem is that mine are constantly running through wet twine and straw, which takes the edge right off of them. I actually need to send in one of my Bucks to get repaired as I have worn the pins on the latch out already. I only use fixed blade knifes for work now.

We slap tires like that on the skidsteer at work, well sorta. Best picture I can find of it (I was in the bobcat taking a pic of something on the pump so you can't see it very well). You have a quarter of the tire on the steel frame for scraping the organic fertilizer out of the alleys.

Finally had these fellas show up.
Also some tools for cleaning my gun.-

There's a reason why both of us mentioned Carl Jacobsen. That dude is a pimp.

It's almost like the mesh you use for fiberglass repairs. Cool beans man.

spotify is you friend.....
Yeah, rumor has it that the new tractors this year may have Bluetooth so that may be happening. I honestly spend more time in the International than a tractor though so I may be seeing if my boss would be okay with me swapping the head unit out for one that I have laying around with an auxiliary input.

Yeah FM radio gets pretty old when you're listening to it 80+ hours a week during hay harvest, but I still somehow listen to it the most so I don't have to try and find music that I like. That's actually why I started this thread so you guys would do the work for me[emoji16]. At work I have the preset buttons memorized in the International I occasionaly run. I set them up in the middle of station clusters so I can reach over and get to any station on the radio within a few taps without looking away from the road. I swear if I hear Here by Alessia Cara one more time.......

Also thank you Protoolnut for your uniquely entertaining positive feedback! And thank you everyone else for reading!

Thanks for the entertainment ......I plan on watching again [emoji851]

I got caught up in your tool setup and lost track of time...nice stuff, ya as for the dremel trio I have one as well and it is ok but for very light work.......I didn't pay full price for it and don't recommend anyone paying full price for it either......Thank all of you guys for reading and the positive feedback!

Yeah, the one thing I do like it for is putting a cutout bit in and using the guide it comes with and using it to cut out circles for speakers as I get a better edge than with my jigsaw.

Oh boy you scared me for a second. I opened my phone just now and saw in big letters Et tu, brute? and thought "**** who did I stab in the back this time?" I'm sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

It's good to hear you got a good customer. A crappy customer always has a way of making the job so much worse. I'm glad I work for a cool guy and don't have to deal with customers.

Episode 14: The Ones That Got Away
This is the final installment in the series.
Hi-Lift Jack: This is about $80 and I use it occasionally for working on my pickup and changing gearboxes/wheels on irrigation pivots. Be careful with these widow makers.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!?
No joke, I got this toolbox when I was about 3 years old. I don't think that it is a real tool box, I believe it may have come with a toy tool set. I don't remember. I just remember hauling it around as a child trying to "fix" things. It still sees regular and frequent use.
Contents:
At the time I took the photos these were all inside the box, some have since migrated to my toolbelt.
- Irwin Tape: Nice tape. Not having a tape is not an option.
- TuffENuf Tape: I don't know where it came from, but it is better than nothing.
- Milwaukee Tape: It came free from IHLCanada and I am pleasantly surprised with it's quality.
- Irwin Chalk Line: It has been working very well for me. I don't like the blue chalk though.
- Dewalt Tape: Great tape that I picked up for large layout work.
- Bernzomatic MAP Gas Torch: It gets things hot.
- Duracell 1300 Lumen Flashlight: It only runs about $20 at Costco and is really really bright.
- M12 Bluetooth Speaker: I bought this thing as a bare tool to run in equipment without radios. It works satisfactorily.
Central Machinery Wood Lathe with Nova Chuck: Not the greatest lathe with the greatest chuck. I have a couple finished bowls somewhere....
Chicago Electric Chainsaw: This was a gift and so I shouldn't say anything, but any other brand is better and this thing is complete crap.
Dremel Trio and 4000
The dremel is great and is being phased out by my M12 rotary tool. The Dremel trio is really just a router with proprietary overpriced attachments.
Windsor Design Chisel and Gouge Set: Not recommended for frequent use.
Black and Decker Jigsaw: It isn't a fine wood working implement, but it gets the job done.
Dremel Engraver: For only $25 this thing is worth investing in to make sure your tools stay yours. Great little guy.
M12 Rotary Tool and Ratchet: I haven't gotten a lot of use out of the rotary tool yet, but my impressions are very positive. I have gotten a ton of use out of the ratchet and love the little guy for assembling and disassembling parts that aren't too tight on cars. I used my coworkers for a while when running steel cable overhead and purchased one the next day. This was my first M12 purchase. I got the kit for around $160.

Episode 13: The Wallflowers
These guys hang out in the background.
-
Lunati Degree Wheel:
-
Evercraft Creeper Cart: Finally bought one of these a while back for about $80. It really is one of the better creepers that I have used.
-
Irwin Magnetic Box Beam Level: I love irwin and this is one fabulous level, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had known the price before I got to the register. It was $110. I needed a magnetic level for some steel I-beams and should have gotten something cheaper. Oh well.
-
Phase II Dial Indicator and Magnetic Stand:
-
-
OEM Tool Snap Ring Pliers: Complete garbage. Life is too short to spend time using crappy snap ring pliers.
-
Napa Grease Gun:
-
ProGrade Bar Clamps: These actually work fairly well so far. They have only been used to glue together a few MDF sub enclosures. I don't remember a price on these, but they were pretty cheap.
-
-
- No Name Hacksaw
- Kobalt Caulk Gun
- Craftsman 19.2V Tools: I got these as a gift several years back and the battery charger and battery were toast almost immediately. I haven't used them since, but I would like to buy a battery and charger for them and at least get the vacuum back up and running. I may also just do a giveaway. I really don't know.

I got a little into lathes for a while. I highly recommend a Nova Chuck for whatever you get. You are going to want to make sure you have: a bench grinder, a white stone wheel for the grinder, the commitment to make a sharpening jig, and a diamond dressing wheel for the stone. Sharp tools are an absolute must. I can say that I have heard nothing but extremely positive stuff about Jet lathes. Turning wood is easily the most relaxing thing ever. I wish I could get back into it but I have an open motor that I can't get sawdust near. I have a Harbor Freight lathe that is alright. As far as size goes, it is up to you . The good thing for you is that you are doing more spindle work for furniture legs so you can get a lathe where the head stock doesn't have to accept rediculously large sizes. If you haven't already I recommend Carl Jacobsen's videos on youtube. He makes some stellar stuff.

I recently came into possesion of a toolbelt and am looking for inspiration on the ideal setup for construction. I have my setup right now but want to see yours. Anybody else have problems with their hammer falling out of the loop?
-
Hmmmmm... Maybe after payday.

Speculation elsewhere says that if they are released in the States it would be under the skil name because it is owned by Bosch.

I actually work with a guy who has a CLC bag for his hammer in the back. It's just a loose sack that you set your hammer in head first. The bags are designed for it, but I never see anyone else doing it.
