Been looking at these, thinking of stepping into them this spring (outside of my Honda mower - it's a trooper and sips fuel)...
I bought an Ego weed eater last spring. That thing is awesome. It’s so easy to restring that it’s fun. It has the power of my Stihl and no more oil and gas and tugging on the darned thing to get it to start. Well worth the money.
You will love them!!Just picked up a set of these finger ratchets for working in tight places where a conventional ratchet wrench won't work very well - or at all.
I use the Milwaukee 18V line in my woodworking. Absolutely love it.
I have 30 peanut butter jars full. Does that count?
You were annoyed with the coffee cans and the constantly picking up of random screws so you haven’t done it. I know cause that’s me. Now I go to my Dad’s house when I need a random screw for something. (Facepalm)
Did quite a bit of remodeling about 10 years ago (kitchen and 2 bathrooms). Went with the 1/4 turn valves and love them. Good luck with everything. RTRPlumbing tomorrow! 😬 Replacing all the guts on two toilets plus the angle valves.
They are soldered on so will use shark bites.
Gonna pick up this nifty tool for deburring the copper lines. It will help also show you how far to insert the shark bite.
The angle valve:
And the Korky toilet kit:
They make those angle valves with the supply line integrated into the unit but I will get separate ones so I can replace just the line if needed.
Really looking forward to upgrading to the quarter turn valves!

re: shop vac
I think you will be very pleased with it! When doing a larger project with dozens to hundreds of fasteners, a driver is so much easier wrt fatigue than a drill. The chuck is awesome as well ... SO much quicker. I use the bits designed for impact because they will break regular bits faster, but in my experience not enough to justify the cost unless its the bits you use the most often. T20, T25, 1/4, 5/16 etc. Those, I buy the quality ones because they end up being cheaper in the long run.I've never owned a cordless impact driver.
I'm going to re-do the canopy over my back deck, which I originally constructed with Deckmate screws. I've been using my regular cordless Ryobi drill for fastener work, but decided to get this Ryobi Impact Driver to use for this remove/rebuild phase. It has a hex type chuck so less monkeying around with the standard drill type chuck. Plus it has more torque and is a little bit lighter. The $59 price for both unit, battery, and charger makes it very affordable too. Will pick up at HD later today.
