Tools!

Damn, they have gone up in price. I think I paid $99 for mine and last I looked it was like $119. But damn it went up $50. I might just buy some new wheels for it. Save myself $100+. This is the one I have, granted it is much older and sun faded.

Edit.. exact one I have. 1200 lb rating.. I'm just gonna replace the wheels.

Just ordered 2 sets of no-flat 13" tires for it. Place I ordered from had them in stock.

So far I'm liking the no flat tires on my wheelbarrow. Wasn't sure if I would but they are just soft enough to spread out a heavy load. Wish my pressure sprayer had them

Wish my damn mower had them. I got to close to my pile of drill stem yesterday and a piece cut the damn valve stem off one of my rear tires

I just saw the airless mower tires on a new mower Cletus McFarland got for his "Freedom Factory". Those are pretty neat. I remember seeing the prototypes years ago thinking they were ghey and would never work ... now I'd take them in a heartbeat

So I took my sammich maker with me to Home Depot to be the voice of reason while I put my hands on the Milwaukee Pack Out set. I have been debating them and wanted to put my hands on them. She kept telling me to buy them. So I did.

I didn't see this post. Nice score!

I missed it as well until I ready your post.

Ive got the bottom pack out w/the wheels. It's so nice to be able to keep all my cordless stuff in one place. When do you start modding it? Guys have modified them to become mini "offices away from home" with power strips/battery back up/all kinds of neat stuff. If I was using them for anything other than being a homeowner I'd of done some of the cool stuff, but Ive got enough unfinished projects

I tried to get away from the pic but did not want to get ran over in the parking lot. People have a hard time driving with their masks on in the vehicle.

Already planning a few mods - mainly as a tool box for trail use. I have seen a few interesting mods where guys made attachable bench tops for different uses but need to get a few other projects done first before I go down that rabbit hole. I will try to setup the in-box battery charger though. That is pretty nice to have everything right there.

if I was working job sites I would def do the battery charger inside so you could charge up stuff locked up. We lose so many tools to that crap.... and more often than not it's guys forgetting the charger and battery on the job not theft. Last month we had a guy leave his impact on a trailer that was going back to Minnesota. Guy had to wait 2 weeks to get his drill back and luckily they were honest enough to admit it then send it back to us.

They come down in price? Last time I looked they were high.

No clue. This was on a JD $$$ mower.

I have no clue how many multi way screwdrivers I have lost or had swiped over the years. I had a maintenance guy at one site try to take my entire Klein tool bag once. I caught him in the hall and was able to convince him otherwise. That fucker still swiped a crap load of hand tools from me. A nice tool box like these lockable Milwaukee setup would have saved me a lot of money around that site.

Thats the one thing I will give the union guys props for. You get caught doing that crap on a jobsite and you'll get blacklisted or better yet taken out back and shown an oldschool lesson. I had a few grand in tools locked up/stuck on a site for the covid closure and the first day back I had my fingers crossed no one cut off our job box lock and pilfered everything. Soon as I got my eyes on it and the padlock still there I breathed a sigh of relief.

Thats all I've ever seen them on. I picked up a pair of balls es stems yesterday ($3), now I just need to remove the wheel and break down one side of the tire so I can install this damn thing.

I finally burnt up my old (10yr) worx weed eater. Picked up a 40v Kobalt this morning. Im going to end up getting the matching chainsaw too.

Nice. I'd like to see how you like it. I was deciding between that one and Ryobi's new 2nd gen 40v brushless. They are the same price and have the same specs on paper, but I went with the Ryobi just because this was their second iteration of it and figure some kinks have been ironed out. (wishful thinking) Bonus: It ended up going on sale the next weekend, so I was able to go and get a price adjustment on it.

Nice! I've been considering picking up one of those Ryobi as well. Mainly because I have their 40v hedge trimmer and the battery is interchangeable.

I looked at the Ryobi ones also, that had them on sale for $139, I was really looking at the QD cultivating attachment that you can buy separately as well, Milwaukee does not sell that attachment-turds
I have the larger Ryobi leaf blower already, I’m not going to continue to buy anymore of the Milwaukee line because the prices increases and less attachments, when I did buy the M18 weedeater it was rated at one of the best battery powered trimmers at the time, other companies like Ryobi have since changed that.
