Ryobi HP battery + charger,  their little bluetooth speaker / radio, and these diamond coated bits to try out.


I've had many cheap bluetooth speakers but they're either not very durable,  not very loud, have a short run time, or the internal batteries go bad.
I won't have to worry about that here since it's using my tool batteries.

Oh baby, that's a deal.  Hope you bought a lot of them

Anyone recommend a good left hand drill bit set, that isn't trash or break the bank. Use the for bold extraction, so a good bite is a must. Bought a cheap set from northern tool and their just scrap.

Also dumb question, can you sharpen left hand drill hits in a drill Dr.?

Drill doctor has left hand chucks for certain models.
If there are just a few sizes you use, I would look, individually at Mcmaster Carr (not cheap for a set).

Epstein's site looks down right now, so I can't tell what they have.  I expect it is similar to usatoolsupply (expensive).

I just received a pair of these ergodyne Skullerz " bump cap inserts " , goes inside a ball cap and gives you a very light duty hard hat.
I'll be putting this in my work uniform hat.

Not good for major protection , just a little protection from minor bumps that are more annoying than anything

Theres one thing I do weekly at work where I'm always bumping my head on these fire suppression nozzles, and it really just pisses me off.


On first impressions it doesn't seem uncomfortable or anything,  but if I don't like it I'm only out about $6 a piece.

Wish I would have had one of those cap inserts yesterday. I pulled down some old paneling in the attached garage, and a random filler piece with one single nail in it let loose and dropped on my head. The nail caught my noggin just right and scratched my scalp about 1/2" ---  hurt like heck.

And that's when you pet out some words you didn't even realize you knew.

Elroy has been contemplating the addition of a needle scaler to his tool arsenal for several years. With the recent "beyond basic" activities. Elroy select literally the cheapest needle scaler readily available. This bottom rung harbor freight example is almost a POS but for the limited use Elroy has planed, it's worked fine so far.

Am I missing something on the Channellock, or does it have to do with racing?  (not a race fan, as a kid I wanted to get into autobody and watching cars drive until they wreck, ticked me off)
