Bought an old Suzuki to restore this year and finally put together my first tool set.

Tools in no particular order.

Tekton 3/8 metric socket set Tekton metric combo wrenches Vessel wood handle tang thru screwdrivers Gripedge metric hex set Milwaukee pliers/locking pliers/ect CRKT pocket knife (already had this laying around) Capri dead blow hammer Teng 10” 3/8 spinner handle/ratchet extension (still waiting on delivery)

All put into a Cornwell creeper seat that I got off the truck at work.

Some new to me, some replaced and some warranted.

Or lose some fingers trying!!!!! ;)

I had been looking at the Stihl for the last year. That not having an oiler always stopped me at the last minute, even had it in my cart a couple times at farm n fleet. I’d put it back going I want a damn oiler I know I’ll forget otherwise with the just one more branch and 30 branches later.

The free forge was enough to make me finally say f it. So two 8.0 forges and a 12 HO I figure I’m good for this, the porta saw and I need to just say screw it and buy the grinder. Technically I need a new saw too. My Ridgid is cutting crooked even with new blades. Think I’m going to get the m12 surge to replace my worn out Ridgid impact driver. Then add an m12 drill at some point. The hammer drill is way overkill sometimes.

I bought a stack of the drawer-style boxes (instead of lid boxes) and immediately turned around and bought another. I'm so pleased with these things! Bigger tires than Packouts, sturdy and detachable handle on the rear with slots for long tools like a 4' level, etc. The side rails and their attachments (cup holder, heavy duty hooks, work lights, magnets, bins, etc) are an excellent feature too! They're the perfect size; for example I can fit a skilsaw, sawsall, router (+ bit case), and jigsaw all into one of the big single drawer boxes, and the rolling base box is even bigger. I like the drawers more though, so I can leave it all stacked up almost always. If anyone is looking to get into some rolling tool boxes give these a real good look before buying anything. They have so many features, and a matching utility cart with side rails that I'm still trying to get my hands on. Just wanted to share. Ask me anything if you wanna.

8’ crosscut saw. Feels really f’ing badass to cut down trees with 😎

Hey guys seeing if anyone has used these lobster adjustable wrenches before I’m looking for a new pocket size wrench that opens as wide as possible and has tight jaws I’m a mechanical maintenance fitter cheers guys

I had been drooling over that wide mouth for a wile. The current sale and the free forge battery convinced me the compact was what I would buy instead. Projects, repairs and fab work for myself or friends. So I’m sure it will be perfect for my needs.

I’ve lost so many damn of the HD rewards points due them expiring while waiting for the right tool to go on sale. Not today!!!! It got used. ;) right before it expired.

I talked myself out of m18 pruner, I may got back for that and the m12 driver/drill that’s on sale as my ridgid chit itself and Ridgid won’t warranty any of the original tool set I purchased and registered right after I got it. Tired of going round and round with them.

First time using kaizen foam. I melted in the wrenches, sockets and extensions. Much easier than cutting. Pelican 1560

Just finished brushing the rust off. What I thought would be a rust crust was just the uneven iron surface. Those pliers belonged to my grandfather or great-grandfather; I'm suspecting it's a blacksmith's work, as there is no branding or anything. I'm taken aback by the beauty of the seemingly hand made tool and just wanted to share.

Also, if anyone have any tips for how to keep it rust free, I'm all ears. I've just rubbed it with a cloth with some WD-40...

How did I do?

I was in need of a couple paddle bits and picked up a Diablo set at HD, but it didn’t have a case.

I like to use cases so I know what I may be missing, and I found theMilwaukee Large Case for Impact Drivers online. They all fit & now o just need to black out the empty spaces so I know I’m not missing anything!

Thus type of case lets me being them all up in the attic, or put them all in my mobile box or just leave the case open in my toolbox drawe to grab what I need.

The Diablo bits are good, but if I was to do it all over I’d buy the Bosch Daredevil set in its own case and then buy a smaller Milwaukee Case for the other bits.

Bought this bad boy for my birthday. Makita HR006GZ 40Vx2 rotary hammer. Together with a 52” Milwaukee drill. Let’s rock 😎
