I am on the look out for a good deal on a new or used mig welder for a nephew who is about to graduate high school. Please let me know you see or know of anything.

Dang; I just sold a decent little box for $300.

Getting work done on my press today. Of course I cannot find my chop saw blades and need to pick up a 5/8s and 1" drill bit. But hopefully it will be bolted together this afternoon and close to functional.

It will be 36" tall and has a 20" bed. The whole thing will work nicely on a bench top while allowing me to use the space underneath for storage.

I have a $75 set of cable cutters. I have a number of 00 cables that need to be shortened. One could say, "You don't have those cable cutters." They are half right. I do own them. I just can't find them. Looks like I doing these bitches by hand.

I can totally relate to this. I'll tell a sure fire way to find them. Buy another set. The originals will show up as soon as you use the second set.

Picked up a Gear Wrench 3/8" impact socket set. This will stay in the garage to be used with my DeWalt 3/8" impact.

I like the painted/etched sizes. One cold winter day when I'm bored I need to paint mine like them so I can actually see them.

I grabbed a Kobalt 4.3 gallon compressor for homeowner type crap yesterday. My last pancake compressor blew up after a decade. This one says "80 % quieter and lasts 2x longer" Hopefully this is the last one I ever need to buy.

I'm hoping the etchings will hold up after a lot of use.

We use a GMC portable compressor here at work. Those things are crazy quiet and durable (we use them in offices all day long).

Here's the POS I bought

I bought it primarily for finishing nails/brads. This week after work and last weekend was "birdhouse building week". Making a few cedar birdhouses for mothers day. What a PITA compiling plans has been. Had to consider way to much crap. I figured I'd buy some wood and slap together a few boxes. Not even close. Mounting heights and locations - critical, hole dimensions - critical, wood thickness and venting - critical, wood species - critical, blah blah blah. Being anal and doing things right can be a drag sometimes.

That looks much nicer (I only have 1 outlet) with more flow vs mine. Thats what I get from buying something with little/no research. Would of been nice to have 2 guns with power at the same time, but it does cost a good deal more.

Picked up an Estwing ball peen hammer. It was pricey but my grandson will still be using it.

 

[Silverback]

I'm a fan of Estwing hammers as well. Pretty much all I own.

Awesome idea, I have no idea why I did not think about it sooner but I definitely need one of those

At Home Depot, $20

Been using the alligator ones for years, broke a few, and they are plastic, this one has an aluminum tube

I have something similar for retrieving slot cars and land in the middle of the race track. Works great.

And I see you are still using that same HD nylon webbing to tie things down with.

Picked up an Estwing ball peen hammer. It was pricey but my grandson will still be using it as his sole method for defense when they take all of our guns.
