    Blacked out Milwaukee tools.

    Decided to finally dye my Milwaukee tools, what is everyone's thoughts? I personally like the red but this black is KILLER! I'd love to see Milwaukee offer Black and Tan colorways in the future, also feel like that would also invite a much larger demographic but I could be wrong.

    Bought my first Icon sockets and had to reorganize the top drawer

    Picked up a set of the Icon 3/8 Metric Deep Impact sockets on sale. While reorganizing things I realized the impact socket sets in this drawer are all different brands.

    SAE: 1/2 Deep Husky, 1/2 Shallow Westward, 3/8 Deep Matco

    Metric: 1/2 Deep USA Craftsman, 1/2 Shallow Snap On, 3/8 Deep Icon, 3/8 Shallow Mac

    Giving them a try

    Bought these for work I have a few long handle snap on ratchets, But those stay at home as my work supplies the tools. But we don’t have long handled half-inch ratchet just Johnson bars and those ratcheting adaptors. I want to see how they’re gonna hold up against the cement truck life. Snap On prices are getting a little crazy.

    Williams S-52 SuperRatchet

    Near Mint Williams S-52 1/2" SuperRatchet. I think its beautiful but really stiff internals even after clean and lube.

    Not near as smooth as my Wright double pawl 1/2" ratchet.

    Tool Trailer!

    This was my first go at a tool trailer. Built it out Ron Paulk style. 7x16 with 6’-8” interior height.

    Solar panel up top with inverter and battery bank on the nose. Charging station(completely cordless jobsites)

    Inventory and more inventory.

    The new trailer will be much much more. Modular and multi roll with onboard generator, LI-Ion battery bank and 10kw inverter to power job sites and off grid adventures as needed.

    New trailer is an inTech 22’x8.5’ with 7’ interior height. 7k Torsion axles with provisions for wet bathroom on front driver side corner because it will be nice not worrying about Porta John’s or using customer restrooms all the time.

    I’ll update with the full spec sheet because it will be both heated and cooled for the multi-roll function of the trailer.

    I own a small contracting business for the need and also will use the trailer for recreation.(motocross, tailgating, short camping trips and more)

    Japan trip

    Starting the year, I have a trip to Japan. I’ll spend three weeks exploring different cities, but I would like to buy some tools. Could you help me by recommending places to visit and brands to buy?

    Finally got my hands on some PB Swiss Tools

    After a long wait, I finally pulled the trigger on a set of PB Swiss Tools, and I couldn’t be happier. The quality and aesthetics are incredible—honestly, they look so good I almost don’t want to use them!

    Sadly, deals aren’t as good in europe as in the U.S., but even at full price, I feel like it was totally worth it. Excited to put them to use (even if it hurts a little to scratch them up!).
