I don't get to Chicago very often to enjoy Portillos, but there's a Chicago expat that opened a fantastic lil restaurant about half hour away from me in Kalamazoo MI called Ray Ray's... Amazing!!! Google it!!!!!!

Chicago Italian Beef, wet with giardiniera peppers and onions!!! Kinda like this!!!!!!!

Here's Stuart's preview of the XP... http://toolguyd.com/dewalt-xp-tape-measure/

It certainly does! http://prnewswire2-a.akamaihd.net/p/1893751/sp/189375100/thumbnail/entry_id/1_aal0ddbx/def_height/700/def_width/700/version/100011/type/1

Fun!

Ya, I'm hoping to see the 60v 10" miter that's across the pond make it here for much that same reasoning.

$15 @ Ace hardware.

We had a local sign shop whip up some stickers for our water clean up equipment, they did our van, trailer, banner, so they sorta gave us the stickers at cost(I really don't remember how much). Going to be using them again real soon for our office signage.

Gotta love Ace.... $35 total.... That's as much as the right angle by it self.

My impact might have been used like a hammer on SEVERAL occasions....

Love those horses! Good stuff.

I do almost everything construction related, my company is a two person show, my brother-in-law and I operate a damage mitigation service and oftentimes we do the restoration as well, we also take on general contractor work too and are building a custom lake home right now(amongst other a projects). We have a yours, mine, and ours tool thing. My tools make money for me, I use em hard and toss em in my truck til I use em again the next day, sometimes I work 15 days straight, sometimes I'm not working for a week. I rarely clean them but don't intentionally get them dirty either. The mitigation equipment is cleaned and inspected after every use as well as replacing filters etc. No exceptions on them considering they are industrial grade air cleaners, dehumidifiers, blowers and extraction equipment.

To be honest I've never used an ax, I don't have the convenience of a HD near by, so my blade buys are grab and go at Lowe's or Menards, but comparing a standard demo blade to a pruning is night and day, there's a reason companies make pruners.

There or Menards

Right now a couple Bosch ones, I've used other brands with good results too, I don't get em very often as I seem to get em to last quite well. I'm not too picky which brand I get generally my criteria is availability and price.

Great for branches and quite good on treated lumber, don't go all aggressive demo mode with em and you can get some good life outta em.

Ummmmmm..... I use ones like these all the time

Another interesting battery tech I'm sorta excited about is graphene, Instantly charged, potentially low cost, and able to be made by a modified DVD burner. Can also be used to make low cost solar panels too.....

Last year I shot myself 4 times with a framing nailer, 2 times through a finger, 1 through my wrist, and 1 through my thigh. The ones in my fingers and wrist baffle me how they happened, I'd like to think it was an unavoidable accident but to do it 3 times............. hum...... The one through my thigh was just dumb.... was in a tight area grabbed the gun buy the grip and slid it over my leg while taping off the trigger.... that sucked ass.... damn near passed out, but a half hour later I as back working. Man that was sore for a week. If you ever get a chance to put a 3 1/2" spike through a body part I'd recommend that you fight the urge to do it, you'll thank me latter.

My sister is getting married that day too.... 5/6/(1)7 is kinda why they chose the date lol

Ya I went for the Beretta

Well I'm here spending my weekend working my butt off..... So it's still tool of choice or this.....

I hope the wheelbarrow is a prototype, that's a horrible place to put the battery!

It has a Name DCS577 and probably safe to say its FlexVolt.
