I was using the 3026 today and just wasn't happy with how thick the tips were, they weren't thet thin to begin with but ended up thicker and I needed to thin them out.



I accidentally screwed up the grips pretty bad while working on them but the pliers came out so nice that I decided to temporarily pull the grips ( they literally slid right off ) of a new pair of 326 that I've hardly used until I can find the blue plasti dip to try.

Not really a tool. But picked up this airbrush and compressor kit from HF. I know it's not the greatest out there, but it'll get my foot in the door and some practice under my belt.

This nebo light was an impulse purchase near the register at the hardware store, it just seemed neat and it was only $18.



250 lumens on high, 25 on low, has a magnetic base, and rechargeable.
I've been pretty happy with Nebo products for the money and you can never have enough flashlights.
