Those caulk savers are great! I put them on a tube of liquid nails and it was still fresh 3-4 months later! Same with some silicon.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I haven't gotten a chance to get many pictures yet, but Mom & Dad really hooked me up this year. They've always been Christmas people, but they really outdid themselves this year. I got the benchtop belt/disc sander I wanted (which I knew about), but they also hooked me up with the Devilbiss Starting Line paint gun set, the Drill Doctor 750X, and the Wilton CS4. I'm not even sure how they knew I wanted these things, but I'm guessing Mrs. Conductor was in on it ? They got me enough shit that I left feeling guilty. It's not like they can't afford it, but still. There is a problem with the vise though. One of the spindle collars is busted. I'm not sure how this would have happened in transit because it certainly appears to have been broken from the inside, but who knows. I'm not sweating it, I'm sure Wilton will make it right. I'll get some more pics tomorrow 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_riceL Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I spend a lot of money on tools, way more than I need to that is for sure. But I got not a single card that would buy tools, what the hell is going on? I did get 85 dollars worth of Starbucks though so all is not lost.Pretty much exactly what happened with me. Except I don't even drink coffee so Starbucks really doesn't do much. Lots of other GC's to restaurants I don't like too.

NicolasRamos Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 As some of y'all already know I bought myself a tan oxx, and I picked up some new work boots. My cousin and his wife got me a light up sign of a faux rusted metal Texas flag. Which is pretty awesome, and will sit over my desk. I also got some Starbucks cards, and carhartt socks! I think my family knows I like caffeine, and work related items, even though they don't have to be tools. My parents did get me a new pair of "dress" Ariat's. I'm a simple guy when it comes to boots, and I've been wearing the same model of Ariat roughstock boot for over 11 years, and don't really like the flashy shit, so they managed to buy me the nicest brown roughstock they could find. I really do like them, and moms happy that I won't wear a slightly less faded boot to functions now pic isn't great but they do have a little shine to them.Ps. Yes I cleaned the table!

Been wondering if they are worth it. They just fit me good, look good, priced well. And I can work in them. Yes I said it. I love the oxx. It seems to take a little longer than your average Keurig, but to me that's no big deal. I'd rather take this thing to a jobsite, than my keurig. It's just not gonna last a day!Some of my family members complained about it yesterday, but they're more of the fast food, want it now, if the internet stops working(spectrum ) then we're all gonna die kind of folk.

We have a kuerig in the shop office but i stay away from office until I'm forced inside to do my paperwork. This would be nicer to have sitting under my work bench though.

Thanks for infoI have a plethora of vacuum insulated tumblers, so I usually get through that first cup by lunch if I'm lucky. Sometimes there's no time! What made me really want the oxx was not having to leave when I really needed another cup on the cold days. Granted it doesn't get as cold here as some of the real cold states, but I'm just more acclimated to the warmer temps. And my comment about taking a bit longer is not due to its ability to heat water. It seems to heat water just fine. But it does it in bursts. I'm still trying to figure out if that's a defect or not in mine. Either way I'm happy with it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinkendall Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 My brother was nice enough to get me a Milwaukee Surge since I've been eyeing it ever since they were announced. I ended up hitting up Acme Tools website last night with the money I received. $175 later I have the following items headed my way. Dead On Tools Utility Pouch Milwaukee PH2/SQ2 Double Ended Bit Milwaukee SQ2/T25 Double Ended Bit Milwaukee 2PC Demolition Screwdrivers w/ Steel Caps 8" Black Cable Ties (100pk) Southwire GFCI Receptacle Tester Southwire Autoranging Multimeter Southwire Compact Stripper/Cutter Southwire SIMPULL Fish Tape 100' I'm going to see why everyone on Instagram is fawning over Southwire like they are the best thing in the world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
