Brrrrrrr...........
a coupla years ago, heading into late fall, i just had to have heat in the carage for the coronet. i would up getting a 40k gas fired unit heater. buried 3/4 sch. 80 pipe with heavy couplings the depth of a spade shovel. i already had run a 1'' galv. pipe with 60a, 230v, along with a fist full of #14 a few years before (also at the depth of a spade).
keep it at 45. nice getting into her car and its warm.

i dont like bags. they dont stack on a 2 wheel buggy.
im from a time when manufacturers put their product in a steel case.
i have alot of the crypt tools in steel boxes.
don't like the plastic cases. the tool has to be positioned just so, and the cord wound a particular way to be able to close the lid. and forget about putting extra blades or whatever extra in a plastic box. think i threw most of them out

i have a couple, that turn white.
an old proto #2 phillips, and a USA channellock.

Lowes doesn't make them easy to find in your store?
they had porter cable, de walt, bosch cordless on end cap, which all faced main aisle.
2-3 end caps, each brand. they had batteries for p/c & dewalt on those displays. bosch batteries were in an aisle, opposite end from all the end caps. the back section for bosch batteries was like in a 'dead' zone. wouldn't think they'd hide them, behind drywall tools.

i dont get it
-
cleared out the stock at lowes, #414 batteries. all 2 of them.
and, it's not like they made them easy to find.

tti makes the ridgid branded battery tools available at the orange box. emerson electric owns ridgid. ridgid still makes electric pipe threading machines, and a range of hand tools, including pipe wrenches. many of their hand tools are rebranded.
been a long time since i have seen a new ridgid pipe mule, dont know if they are still USA made
