a tote on wheels? good score, handy for all sorts of things.

I decided to mess with the neighbors who leave their Christmas decorations up too long so I left my Halloween decorations up, I'm probably going to store my Halloween decorations in it.

Of course theres lots of possibilities,  and it was free so I don't have to feel bad about buying something I'd need to find a use for.

Speaking of messing with neighbors...I had a good neighbor who from time to time would display his vintage John Deere out front on his lawn during Xmas. Usually without Xmas lights. One year, I put a for sale sign on it.

That was not looked upon particularly kindly.

Pffffft! He's not the comedian, I am.

LOL
Yeah, most people I've found out don't appreciate humor.

If the above scenario was me, I'd have added the word "wife" and hung that sign on your front door!

Well that Stihl trimmer I got for $20 about a week ago stopped working and I kind of wanted one with the easy starting feature anyways.
After a few hours of messing with it trying to get it running I just said screw it and bought a new trimmer.
Instead of getting the same $150 Chinese made model, I went for the $170 American built model with the easy starting feature.


I'll mess with the other some more and if I can't figure it out I may take it to the Stihl shop at the local hardware and let them fix it.
It's got spark but the new spark plug I put in the other day was bone dry today,  and now after having taken it apart to go through the carburetor the priming bulb no longer works 
I don't know what's going on.

This little 1989 Buck 705 pony just arrived today.

I quite love small 2 blade slipjoints and this one is great, it's never been used but has obviously sat around for 30 years without the box.

Wow thats small. got much power at that size?

Surprisingly yes it hits pretty hard for it's small stature

How do you think that works? You guys all run approximately the same air pressure, right? So how can a smaller tool - with smaller guts I'd think - have the same impact power as a larger tool? Not criticizing, just asking about tools I've never used.

I would think it's RPM. If the smaller motor can build up speed quicker it has more inertia to put in to the impact mechanism. Idk if that right but it sounds good lol

Just thought this was funny.

Betcha that's a bang of a tool. 

[hickory n Steel]

Sort of a tool, it does a specific job and it's made to look like a tool after all.



And I got this from my grandmother,  she accidentally received this instead of a pegboard or something from Home Depot so they refunded her and told her to do whatever with this so she gave it to me because it didn't come with instructions anyway.



I'm sure I'll find somewhere to mount it.

Picked this up today from HF. Works as should. The rubber end that goes into the bleeder itself is stiff and the hole in it is very small takes some good force to get onto the nipple.

I ordered my 3rd 5pc Columbian machete assortment from sportsmans guide that hopefully arrives today like its supposed to.
It was supposed to yesterday and was actually in route for delivery,  I waited all day then get a last minute notification that it will arrive today instead 
Damn you FedEx.

[bonneyman]

Yeah, the delivery services are really falling down on the job of late. I thought it might just be the holiday rush but we're 2 months out form that.

I've mostly had decent luck with USPS, ups is okay,  but FedEx is always the worst for me.

I guess the 8oz Grace brass hammer was a factory second or something because the name was blacked out, theres nothing wrong with it though.

The UDC inspection mirror was supposed to be WRIGHT branded which is why I bought it, but it just had a WRIGHT sticker on the package .
Really 
Oh well, it's the same quality tool I'm well familiar with.
