Yeah, the one thing I do like it for is putting a cutout bit in and using the guide it comes with and using it to cut out circles for speakers as I get a better edge than with my jigsaw.

true that if your using MDF or something, as it cuts fairly easy but getting into plywood the Trio just doesn't have much power

Update #1

 

So this week I had a few updates that I'm going to use as an excuse to share some tool porn with all y'all.

I picked up some stuff online.

Here are the Knipex pliers in their drawer.

  • Knipex Round Jaw Long Nosed Pliers: I really like made in germany and these should really help with hoses.
  • Knipex Pliers Wrench: I bought these more to see how the concept worked more than anything else. Feel solid. I'll have to see how they work out in real use.

The New magnetic trays in their place.

The new magnetic pickup tools and magnetic mirrors in their places. They were only a dollar a piece so I figured I might as well.

I acquired this set of CLC bags from a guy this week as I needed some for work. This is how I have them set up for now.

That pair of pliers wrench is the same I bought, they replaced my adjustable wrench in my bag...both seem to have minor advantages as long you have really good adjustable wrench that holds it's position such as Channellock/Irega.

 

Unscrewing a hex head bolt, advantage pliers wrench.

 

Holding a hex nut in place while unscrewing with another tool, advantage adjustable wrench.

Update: Time for some Hardcore Pornography.

 

If your wife is home, this is where you are going to want to close the door and lock it. I have accumulated some tools since the last time I posted on here. Today I'm going to go over hammers. By go over hammers, I mean dick around with a camera and get frustrated when I realize that my pictures aren't turning out like I want them too and post them to TIA.  So anyways here is my complete hammer collection as it currently stands.

And the one picture that I had photoshop involved didn't turn out anything like I wanted. Oh well better go back to Kato's tip thread and read it over again.

Graphite%20Hammer%20Take%20One_zpskskajv

 

The new hammers are the Yellow Pittsburgh ball pein hammers. They have solid heads, but you can immediately feel that the fiberglass handles are sub par. The graphite is the best feeling hammer I've ever held in my hand by a long shot. I've held some Protos and they just don't feel right. I also grabbed a Pittsburgh dead blow hammer (big orange one). I've heard good things about the pittsburgh dead blows and the finish feels solid. The guys in the shop had one that was annihilated but I suspect that was more of a result of misuse than shoddy craftsmanship.

Here and there. Mostly there. 

Here's some pornog for all y'all. Snapchat-8872775558488429674.jpg

Had this tree come up along the edge of a waste way that the end boom of one of the center pivots runs over and it was ripping the sprinkler drop down hoses out of the goose necks. I didn't feel like lugging a chain saw through the field of mid thigh wet alfalfa so I cheated and lopped it down with this beast.

Excellent, i just picked up a pack of Lenox 12" general purpose blades for PVC pipe... was looking at the Menards store brand (masterforce?) and they were quite thick in comparison and not cheap enough compared to the brand I know to be good to buy, so I stuck with what i know works

Love my Milwaukee voltage detector, I got two for one when acme tools was having that sale. I ended up not bothering to get a pen light after I realized how useful the led on it was, I keep it on me at all times and pull it out more often to use the flashlight than the detector part. I told the guys at work when I bought it that I got myself a new pen light that happens to have a voltage detector built in lol

The fluke is far more reliable.

Nope. Maybe a bit more so, but not "far more reliable" Mine works every time for what I need, has a bright led, and I can stick it in a receptacle while flipping the breaker in another room and listening to the audible warning. Fluke has an led on their one model, but I cant stick it in a receptacle.
