This is a custom build. Not cheap for sure. My friend says you want to have a good grip on the handle bars it pulls hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Well boys, wear your PPE in the shop at home! Was working on a car and dropped a cover plate with a good sharp seal surface on it. Now sporting a couple Band-Aids on the knuckles. Cut right through the mechanics gloves. Decided to call it quits after that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't have a use for much past a drill and impact at home. 25 minutes ago, Big Crappie said: I have a perfectly good 12v dewatl drill with no battery. It's yours if you want it. Hmmm. I'll think about it, but I think it is time to move on from the 12v stuff too. Thanks for the offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a hammer drill also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Still leaning toward Ridgid, but no dice on getting anything I was interested in at the Despot in Hood Cloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masterforce tool boxes seem ok. You might have to special order the biggest one. Go down the tool isle, look for made in the usa, buy one of each. And a can of them toffee coated peanuts.

racinfarmer Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Stopped by the usual scum bags last week to get a 2' air blow gun and a bunch of other shit I don't need. The Merlin 2' air blow gun - fucking junk! I'm pretty sure I can blow harder then this thing. That can mean multiple things! The Quantum 215 lumen pocket work light for $7 - fucking awesome! I'll probably be picking up a few more of these! FYI, for those of you who want a service cart, there is a coopin for $189.99 for the 5 drawer service cart. I bigly recommend it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) The scumbags at the Wal-Mart have 4' 5000 lumen LED lights on sale for $12 right now. My brother just bought a house and put 6 in his garage. They look good, especially for $12! Edited November 14, 2020 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Swedish made job in the race car trailer that fucking blows like a $2 whore. Figured I'd get one or two for the shop since I never grab it out of the trailer. Boy, was I wrong on that HF jobber. Edited November 14, 2020 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put new led lights in my garage last weekend. Cleaned the attic up while I was at it. Then this weekend I put all the tools away and cleaned the garage up. 10+ years of spider webs on the sheet rock that I cleaned up with a shop vac. Couple small things to do yet but pretty much ready for working in there this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'm sure many of you will find this coopin as useful as I do. Note the limit 3. Pretty sure I have a dozen of these or more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
