I realize that this is not the tools you were referring to but I was disappointed when this search failed to turn up what I thought was an obvious meme.

Just sharpened two handsaws - such a joy to use a sharp saw. ...just a bit tedious to sharpen. File this under right files. :)

Well the pneumatic tool rack is getting full

So I decided to add some electric ones to the mix, found this brand new one at the pawn shop today. Widdled him down to $75, got two knock off ebay batteries from a buddy for $20 and he gave me a free charger, so for under $100 I finally got myself an electric ratchet. Used one the other night and it was nice not having the cord, or if I'm not in the shop with access to air :)

The funny part, I told him Silverback's comment and he said he was going to use nothing but 10mm sockets but the 2 pawn shops he went to didn't have any! lol

Well it was a sad day for a couple of old tools. Our shared family portable compressor and framer gun bit the dust. The old compressor is a "maintenance free", sealed motor and it's about 20 years old.

Ran to homeless despot and picked up this 20V framer for $50 off. Verdicts still out if I like it. It was struggling at first to sink 3-1/2" stainless steel shank nails but after about 10 of them, it started sinking them in deeper.

Also ordered a 20V portable compressor for my siding and finish nailers. It'll be nice to use at Jasons and my bosses ranch to build stuff too. Had to order it online because the closest one in stock was in bumfuck Spring.

Also, if Home Depot shows 1 item in stock online, that means they don't have it. That one item "in stock" is the display model.

Well I packed the DeWalt nailer up to return it. It can't sink 3-1/2" nails so it's useless to me. I tried the 4A battery that came with it but guys online were saying you needed at least a 6A battery. So I tried my 9A 60v flex battery and got the same results.
It also takes too long to spool up. Guess I'm getting the Milwaukee cordless nailer to try that.

My father-in-law has a Porter Cable battery powered nailer he uses for work. He seems pretty happy with it. I am not sure how much he uses it for 3-1/2" nails but I know he uses it a lot.

I ended up picking a Makita pneumatic nailer. The Milwaukee cordless was just too expensive and I remembered there was an old Sears 220V 2HP compressor at my moms that my stepdad fixed. So I brought that over to my house to use in the meantime but I need to fix the regulator on it. And for a 220V compressor, it fills up so damn slow. I think I understand why my stepdad put it away after he fixed it at the time.

Yeah it sucks this one didn't work out. From what other guys have said online, it either works great or its a POS. Seems I got a POS.

I've been curious about the Ridgid nailer.


I have no need to buy one now, and I have the pneumatic one that has served me well if I ever get another project that would require it.

Haven't read up on those.

Finally got this little 20V compressor in. I plan to use it on my house remodel for now until I can move my 80 gallon air compressor over when we move in. I also plan on using this guy at Jason's ranch and my bosses ranch building decks and deer blinds as well.
