Block plane is the bees knees bro. I ended up getting a Lie Nielsen low angle adjustable mouth block plane....

the tools is awesome. I actually use that all of the time and you can get a Stanley block plane on eBay for $20 easily with only a little tuning up needed. Honestly, the block plane should be right up there if your going to try your hand with these.

now that's a sexy plane I cant afford. lol. I have a kobalt block plane ive had for a year and want to upgrade. its never been great but then again I don't think I took the time to really learn how to dial it in.

Yea baby! The zyklop love continues, screaming deal on eBay for only 45 bucks for the 1/2", took advantage of the fuel sale on Amazon for 65, I will be converting this to a 1/4" impact wrench, why 1/4" and not 3/8" ?? I want it for smaller stuff maybe I should do both [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

Proto stuff is cool they are ratcheting adapters for sockets for use with combo wrenches or even a da da da a plier wrench, they were cool couldn't pass on them even though they're tawainese

It's just a bluetooth speaker, not a radio. I really like it, but others have said they find it lacks bass. When you're using power tools in the same room with it I'm not sure why bass would even matter, you're probably going to miss parts of your playlist anyway. If you want complete control over the way you want your music to sound then you are better off getting an actual sound system.

These finally came in from Acme Tools. The multimeter seems nice I just need to figure it out because I've never owned one before. The fish tape is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I also got a bag of cable ties but they're not interesting. Now I'm just waiting on my tool pouch.

Good to know. I was wondering how they compared.

The Knipex linesman I have has a bit stubby of a nose, cutters are comparable. Knipex has sharper teeth but they're damn close, even the grip...If I was blindfolded (and gedore didn't have the bumps on the side) I don't think I could tell you which was which.

Nice! I've got two bids in for a couple of No 14 Millers Falls bench planes for me to get all pretty. This one looks fantastic!

I had bid on a Miller's falls equivalent to a no 4 but lost out on it. I got the record for $35 plus s&h. I can see this being a problem. Haha

You hope those are just spare parts hahaha

 

I though you had got one of these before? Or was that the backorder you  were referring to?
