Just keep the soldering iron out to cartarize cuts and a bottle of whiskey next to it. All you need for the garage.

Been wanting to put a first aid kit in garage. Bought this one. A little disappointed it's not a metal case. But it will do for now. Actually bought another one for the master bathroom. Tired of hunting down first aid supplies in drawers. Also ordered an eye wash station for the garage. It's not here yet.

your garage has a better set up than our glass factory

That new tool smell! My last set lasted me 4 years of constant use & abuse. Let's see if this set will hold up!

Those are sweet.

When I build my next house it will be run off of them....if I even install AC. Haven't used it in the past decade and hoping to move north to colder places so maybe just a good ol cast iron stove will be all the fancy HVAC stuff Ill need :thumbup:

I was thinking less than 20 x 20 single room cabin (to stay under 400sqft) so yea I guess pretty similar. I'm totally over my idea of living in a loft above a garage once I found out a HUGE percentage of house fires started in attached garages.

I was talking to my buddy this weekend who is looking to buy a house. He just sold his that he had for over a decade in my town and lost 35k based on just the buy/sell price (not accounting for the 30-40k he had to invest to keep up with maintenance & fixer upper projects). He's now looking in the 300-400k range for something bigger. Cracks me up that his family "needs" more room when they already live in a 3 bedroom house (it's him/wife/2 teenage daughters). I asked him why he would want to take on so much debt at his age and his response was you can't put a price on your children's happiness. I think that's total BS. If you have unhappy kids a spare bedroom for guests or a bigger den won't make them happy. I think most of it is brainwashing. I know I drank the cool aid when I bought.

My update on my new DeWalt combo set.

I used them a lot last week. In my opinion, I like my old set better because it has better throttle control. The new set is so powerful that it drives screws in way too fast or torques itself out of your hand. It's like having a 700hp motor in a daily driver car. It's awesome to say you have that much horse power but on a day-to-day basis, you don't need it and it's hard to control.

They are crazy lightweight and have great ergonomics!
