Got some ratchet straps delivered today. Weird part is they were delivered in an Amazon package even though I bought them from that website?! Maybe Amazon is selling boxes and tape??

I got my bungie cords separately from the rest of my order and it looks like Amazon delivered it. Ordered on the website and not on Amazon.

Ave’s Retina Remover 9000 finally assembled. Launches very nicely.

 

[Oswego]

I didn't know AvE stands for Arduino versus Evil

Rhino started their business selling on amazon. They still have a big presence there. The website is relatively new, but it's all the same business/stock. They sell the same Chinese stuff the other sellers sell, just charge a little more for their flashy green marketing and 'USA' in their logo.

any of you guys using rotary tools with flex shafts on the norm or maybe your wives or other family members? my mom keeps blowing out the Dremel brand flex shafts so today I bought her another brands but I suspect it will prob blow up even sooner (china junk). Looking for a high end good flex shaft rotary tool for her thats not super huge because she's old and arthritic so less weight in her hands for hrs at a time the better as she crafts

thinking something with a pedal so she can focus better. She's been using sewing machine pedals for over 60 years so I'm thinking that will help her out

prob is I'm clueless and prices go from $60 into the hundreds.

Look at professional Jeweler dremels. They are expensive but are what you're looking for.

I order 6 Lisle Magnetic socket portable trays red/black in each color for 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2.

2 of the ABN 16pc Pliers Holder in Red - Wrench, Cutters, Hand Tool Organizers Storage Rack

2 of Ernst Manufacturing Gripper Screwdriver Organizer, 10 Tool, Red Amazon

2 of Olsa Tools Hex Bit Organizer with Magnetic Base | Premium Quality Hex Bit Holder for Your Specialty, Drill or Tamper Bits Amazon

a few other items from Tools Discounter & shipping was cheaper on most items than Amazon,

Found two of these today at the piece of property in Lufkin we just bought to build a Maintenance facility.
This one seems to be working.

We had several of those as a kid. Thought they were the coolest thing.

yeah, I haven’t done anything with it yet, other than clean it really good, been busy or not home, I figured I would order a few things and get stuff shipped, we were unable to go out fishing this morning with these thunderstorms rolling in from the gulf, headed home early tomorrow, fishing has been slow, plus high winds and morning showers everyday, 50 to 75% chance are expected for the next week or so.

I remember my grandmother having one. This things legit like hers, its all metal body. Ive seen some cheap plastic knock offs.

 

[Silverback]

Yep, ours were metal as well. I'm old.

I bought one off the Internet brand new last year and it is metal. Some things have not gone to crap yet.

@ "an apprentice"

Got three new ones here last year and it's always fun watching them evolve.
