  1. Not necessarily my favorite, but most used...

    A guy I used to work with called my 3# version of this my Keebler (like the elf cookie bakers) hammer

    30 oz. milled face... I drove about 10,000 60d nails one summer with one (staking curb, mostly, but some sewer and some water lines)

    Yeah my estwing 4lb engineers hammer comes into play the most. I bought all the deadblows so I could beat on stuff just as much and cause slightly less damage than that estwing.
  2. Today's haul: three estwings, two protos, proto mirror, new spade bit, lufkin tape that I paid retail for like a chump when I could have got it for 50% from apex tool group with a coupon code a buddy gave me but I felt bad stealing money from the company, two Stanley's that are being clearanced but are so great I need to stockpile,and a new sting because I snapped my other one.

  3. Lima OH $99 for this kit.

    There are several different models on display here and I just cant get comfortable holding them in my hands, the 18v that is. I must have wide hands because when i hold it, the area between my first finger and thumb gets jammed right up under the rear of the motor, i would get blisters right off the bat.

    I was tempted but it had a dinky direction switch. I don't do dinky switches.
  4. I go for the one hat per summer. There's nothing quite like the smell of old dairy hat. In order of oldest to newest,

    Still working on the last one, first one is held together almost entirely from gluing conduit overhead and strategically catching drips from the brush.

    All were jet black like what they are set on to start with.

  5. I switched all Fatmax over to Lufkin Powercontrol Series. Does nobody like Lufkin anymore? Magnetic, self-centering tips, and the non pinch grip really makes the different.

    But in all seriousness are your lufkins actually that good? If you can sell me on them I'll go buy a couple as I've never worked with one before. Never even seen one actually.
  6. Funny you started this thread. Was just looking into picking up a new tape measure and was debating between the fatmax and the DeWalt. Any suggestions?

    Can't go wrong with a Stanley, they're a staple in every tool belt. I can't speak for DeWalt, but they do have a pretty good reputation.
