Tools and Gadgets

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.

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine! Would be cool to see some before/after pictures.

Thanks for the input, @G-VilleTider ! Took your advice and ordered a 15 piece set of the T25 2" long bits that I use for the Deck mate screws. Should be all set for now.

Picked these up. Set of (15) T25. Only ran around $10.

Saw this setup and thought it was pretty cool. I have one of those twin Halogen work stands that sits on a tripod but this looks like it'd be a little handier when you need a quick setup......

Speaking of gadgets DT_wc: DT_wcj:

This gave me a great idea. Mount a limit switch under the toilet seat and wire it through a big neon sign that says THE SEAT IS UP

I was at my mechanics today when the Snap-On guy stopped by. It was funny listening to my mechanic working him down on a price for a tool cart he wanted. He gave me a couple caps and a magnetic retriever tool. For a tool person being inside that truck was like being in heaven!

Heaven as a Snap-0n tool truck...I've never used that analogy in a sermon...but its now in my sermon metaphor tool box...

Guess I will put this in the tools/gadgets forum.

Went over to Mom's today to help her with a few things and as I was leaving saw this curbside a few doors down.

Some decent condition electrical components at the very least including this nice little light fixture complete with bulbs. Have not tested it yet.

Pretty creative wiring configuration. My guess is it was used for a work bench application.

I'm in pretty good shape with my electrical stuff, but will make a point to swing by HD later today just to see if there's anything else I could use. Love discounts! Will report back....
