Tools!

I've been using these Proknee's since May. Wish I had known about them years ago. I can work for ~6-7 hours on my knees before it starts hurting. Way better cushion than the crap knee pads you get at homeless despot.
If I had to do it over, I would spend the $300 and get the custom fit knee pads. They are worth every penny.

Fancy.... the guys who did the roof on the house last week just had chunks of foam they knelt on. LOL I noticed one on the side of the house they left behind yesterday. I can send it to you?

These wouldn't work on a roof. You'd slide right off and yeah an old seat cushion is what I use when I'm working on roofs too.

I was seeing all these little bits of foam and was like "WTF" is that! Then I saw them using these chunks to kneel on. Roofing looks like no fun at all.

Thats an expensive hammer.

Bought this guy mainly for the batteries but I can also use it around the house. You can buy an auger attachment and drill holes for T-posts, 4"x4" posts and for flower beds as well.

The 60V battery charger is beefy and has a built-in fan on it like the Makita chargers. I'll be running these batteries in my DeWalt lawn mower as well.

I guess you can call this a tool? For the price and quality, it seemed easier to buy than to make it. I hope it does the trick for me

So what does something like that run?

Not terrible actually, depends how many adapters you wanted. The kit I got with the late model taco adapter ended up being just shy of $200

Nice.. I recall doing the seals on my Taco and making my own adapter... not fun.

Looking forward to your opinion of it afterwards. I debated buying one last time I did my axle seals.

Yep I was going to make mine with an old axle tube I have but a one button click on the internet won over my laziness.

If any of you crazy assholes were closer I'd just ship or loan it to ya, but that would probably kill the deal being out west. I'm waiting for the bearings and seal retainers to come in, they should be here this week so then I'll get to have the truck back in order over the weekend.

No time like the present to move west....

Finally went through my list of lower priority tools and bought this air belt sander. Should work well for hard to reach or smaller areas to clean up for paint or welding. Now that I bought it I probably will never need it

That tends to be my luck. I buy a moderately specialized tool and damn near lose it before I need it.

I got the exact same one a few years ago. I've used it twice

Needed something that could hold all my crap for the trip this week. So I took the plunge into the the Packout stuff. Just a small one for now but I'm sure there will be more in the future. Holds everything I (hopefully won't) need perfectly.

Just make sure you get the drawer system in the future as well. The drawers make way more sense then having to unstack 4 boxes to get to something.
