I like tools

[SlugSlinger]

Maybe I could say I love tools.

It doesn’t really matter what the tool is for, I’m probably going to acquire it if there is a slim chance that I may actually use that tool.

My shop is full of tools. Some big, some small and I’m out of room in my shop. When we toured the OSU engineering labs, I told my future engineer daughter that I had every tool in that lab plus many more.

Anyway, got a new tool today. I usually buy Milwaukee and have a ton of batteries, but Milwaukee doesn’t have something comparable, close to the price I got this for. So I bought an Amazon battery adapter to run my Milwaukee batteries on the DeWalt.

I doubt this will be my new favorite but I can’t wait to find something to cut with it. I would have used it at the in-laws to trim their Crape Myrtles but didn’t have it then, and that’s probably the reason I bought it.

Anyone have a favorite tool that you can’t live without?

Brother from another Mother!

I am a Dewalt Addict. 35 tools, 11 battery chargers, 10 carry bags and 23 batteries. This is just cordless.

And twice that in corded tools, machinery, welders etc etc. I used to do a lot of Carpenter work and mechanical work on Autos, ATVs, UTVs Jeeps and Farm/Dozer machines.

I too love tools!

Bought that for the wife last year, she really likes it, although I think the cordless blowers are her favorite.

I use the 20v chainsaw way more than I thought I would.

What’s funny and I failed to mention was I told my wife the loppers was her pre-anniversary gift. I don’t think she was amused.

I too, like tools.

Yep... I've been known to buy tools just because they look cool. Like a 165 pound anvil. I have no use for it, but damn it looks cool in the shop.

Using that to trim the toenails?

Probably better keep it away from the appendages.

In future archaeological digs, they will think it was a device of torture.

Skip the vid if language offends.

He was interesting to listen to. Enjoyed seeing the Lopper innards too!

I would buy a 165lb anvil too, but these days they price them like gold...
