Tools!

[Oswego]

They are not the kind of company you return stuff to so IDK whats going on. They offer great pricing on some items, but you gotta know your shit and be patient. Restocking fee is 20%, most sales are final (can't return anything), and it usually takes a week or two for delivery. We shall see how they handle this. Ive spent a few grand with them over the years. I'd prefer a discount - I don't mind the minor dings/scratches, but I'm not paying new tool prices for a used one....even if it's a outlet/wholesale price

I got the new Stabila laser level in for work and that thing is awesome! We'll only buy these from now on.

you check out how the vertical laser goes from floor to ceiling even above the laser? thats my fav feature. it's not great on the floor, but the ceilng is brite. not sure if any others do that but I can tell you my Bosch, PSP, and DeWalt lasers did not.

finally got all my DeWalt stuff compiled and cleaned up for donation. Kid's coming over tonight to grab them. Luckily I remembered they came in two cases so I dug them out from the basement and put all the tools in them (one less thing for me to throw away - now he can). I was supposed to give them to him a month or two ago but I wanted to wait until my new Milwaukee saw came in.

in the middle of moving out of my old bedroom into a spare room so I can rip open the walls in my old bedroom and replace the two windows. I suspect Ill find termite damage and horrible insulation + maybe some asbestos siding if I'm unlucky

got my new construction desk up and running....just need to purge Taco parts from it next

 

[CowboyTaco]

None of that craps going on my truck. This rooms full of take off's I should just trash (OE skids/OE bumpers/48" hilift bar that won't even lift a tire off the ground on my truck/OE leaf hangers/OE leafs/etc.).

My other parts room is the real honey hole.

figures the one order I give fleebay in a decade is BS fraud.... I was starting to wonder how it was going to show up tomorrow but hadn't shipped yet.

momma always said if it's too good to be true double down so I did

I hate scammers... should be a TV channel which all it does is show scammers getting caught and then tortured.. I mean like disfigured, some shit a serial killer would do. Scam money out of the elderly, we burn your eyes out.. on TV.. do it again and we remove both hands. I think it would be awesome. Might just have to drop some fat ones on some whole neighborhoods in India to clean up the scammers.. but hey, I'm ok with that.

Youtube has a few channels where hackers hack back. I did that rabbit hole and watched a few. One was a 60min documentary from Australia where they tracked the guys back to India and took them down.

Real part that pisses me off is those deals are now long gone. So I basically lost (2) 4amp batteries for free and a free charger.

Now Ill just wait for the tool only to go on sale. Me finishing my decks handrail must be doomed......first I get a used plunger base someone repackaged and now the router order itself is fubar

Oh yea the company offered to swap out the router base.... I said no thanks. It's not that used and they couldn't/wouldn't give me a discount - just swap the tool out for new

There's a guy that livestreams himself calling the scammers and fucking with them to waste their time. Nothing as bad as what they deserve but it's pretty fucking hilarious sometimes. I dont remember his name off the top of my head.

I subscribe to several YouTube channels were the guys do that. Its great.

My favorite feature so far is the micro-adjustment it has built in. So you don't need to find something to shim it up another 1/16", you just push the lever down and it slides up or down.

Brass hammers.. that fammers hammers. Picked up a couple smaller brass hammers. Bigger one is a 1.5lbs'er.

 

[Oswego]

whatcha doing w/brass hammers? Brass punches sure... no idea what a brass hammer is used for?

 

[AlienXtx]

Mechanical stuff. Knocking in races etc

Removing wheel studs without fucking up the threads.

Removing wheel studs without fucking up the threads.

just sacrifice one lug nut on the end for hammering, after it breaks loose, unscrew lug nut and move nut on to the next, but having brass hammers would be nice to have, something I don't own.

I have a set of these for the installation of the studs, prevents the torque from stripping out the shoulder and allow the lug to tighten and not rotate the stud/shoulder.

Out of stock! Those are slick though.

Edit.. Amazon has them.
