  1. Picked up this DeWalt mechanics set to add to the husky tool cart I bought to have at work....I couldn't resist the price on that set...

    I got a good deal on the husky tool cart also...it was the last one they had, which was a display model, at my local Home Depot..... ended up getting it for $150 out the door...😎

    Didn't have a pic of the cart so had to grab an image from Google...

  2. Finally decided to grab a dedicated crimping pliers & stop crimping connectors with the all in one strippers with the crimping portion under the pivot.....tired of the awkwardness of using them & the poor quality crimps that wouldn't always hold.

    I grabbed Milwaukee's version of this tool today & had to test it out as soon as I opened it......I can't believe I have waited this long to buy one!

    The only thing is that I wished it had the insulated section directly under the cutters.

    If that bothers me too much I will just pick up the 909 channel locks.

    I have a mid torque and it really depends what you're trying to do with it.  Its definately lighter and more compact than the high torque and it has more torque than the compact. But the compact is still my go to for anything under a 1/2" (3/4" socket).  I've found that the bigger nose on the mid torque doesn't allow me to get as close to a corner when tightening a bolt on a flange.

    Just basically lug nuts on light duty trailers & vehicles....

    Also use when hanging an outboard on boats or pontoons....(lighter torque...55 ft lbs)

  4. I find it hard to pick just one...or three for that matter.

    I would have to say the M12 Fuel ratchets. When they are released I will be buying one of each. I have the 3/8 one now & it is one of the handiest tools I have bought in a while.

    The fuel version will be an bonus for more power & battery life.

     

  5.   In the last month I have started my milwaukee collection of tools in both the m12 & m18 line.

    I am looking at purchasing one of the grease guns next, just not sure if the extra features of the m18 will make it worth buying over the m12 version.

    I wouldn't be using it to grease heavy equipment, but, will be using it greasing trailer hubs, pivot points on outboard motors, along with the maintenance of a utv, mower, & cars at home.

     

    Any input on using either one or both would be greatly appreciated.
