Nice drill atbglenn, I like. I have a 25 year old green Bosch drill that has seen so much construction work and abuse that it shouldn't be alive but it still is. If I remember well, I only changed the brushes and that was it. Some of the vintage tools were built like tanks. I have two Milwaukee tools, a 12 inch dual bevel sliding compound mitre saw and a 4.5 inch angle grinder. The mitre saw seems indestructible, but after 6 days of 5 hrs a day grinding in a row with the angle grinder, the gears in the head completely shattered. Milwaukee here in canada gives a 5 year warranty and I got it repaired free of charge. Then I used it again and a week later blew the gears again, so I would say some of their angle grinders are built really crappy and many of their other tools are built to last.

I agree on the Dewalt choice. I have many 20V which Iā€™m happy with.

Butt Iā€™m hoping to get away from gasoline entirely.

I have a Husqy 324L weedwhacker which has been great for many years and is the easiest pull starter and 4cycle quiet operation unit Iā€™ve found. Lately itā€™s been stalling/flooding,. I will do a tuneup on it as it is a great unit.

Got the wife a real weedwhacker with the Dewalt 20V that she uses around her flower beds. No more wires to deal with.

Butt I view the 60V Dewalt trimmer as a replacement for the Husqy. And that is a whole different story. Anyone have an opinion?

ProbeMaster test lead kit and a USB cable for my DMMā€¦

A close friend of mine whoā€™s going back to California tonight, gave me a very generous gift for my 66th birthday which is tomorrow, May 2nd. They make great home theater PCā€™s. Now Iā€™ll have one for my bedroom, living room, and my kitchen. Before you say anything like Macs are out of date. I know that. But theyā€™re still awesome little PCā€™s which shine in a home theater environment. Iā€™ve been using them since 2006. Never had a problem with any of them.

Got two more 20 volt, 5 amp hour Dewalt XR batteries.

Hey happy birthday Glenn Man!!! :partying_face: :beer:

Thanks my friend! 66 years old today. Iā€™m getting up there, luckily still heathy. Zero physical issues. Mentally, well thatā€™s another story :confounded:

Hey Glenn,

Have a Great and very Happy Birthday!!! :beer:

Richie, thanks for the happy birthday shout out. Itā€™s been ages since weā€™ve spoken. I hope all is well with you and your family!

Happy birthday Glenn and only 66 years young too

Kirman, Thanks pal. I really appreciate your birthday greeting :slight_smile:

Pete, looks like a nice test probe kit. I have several myself I got my local electronics store. I forget the brand name because I bought them years ago, but they work great. The quality seems better than the Fluke test leads that came with my meters.

Happy birthday Glenn!
Got my massdrop gent today. Awesome little knife. Happened to be serial# 0328, and my birthdays March 28.

Hey Pulsar, Thanks my friend! I hope all is well with you. I havenā€™t seen you around here much lately. Just wishing you the bestā€¦ Thanks again!

Been doing good, just kind of laying low. Trying not to spend too much on lights or other gear lately.
Got a new riding mower last week. Troy bilt super bronco xp 50.
Our gazebo got destroyed in a wind storm last fall, so needed a replacementā€¦ Ordered a new one of them and a new grill.
New grill is a 4 burner char broil commercial Tru infrared.
Loweā€™s card took a hit lol.

Iā€™ve been spending way too much money lately on tools. I admit Iā€™m a tool freak. Iā€™ve been one since I was a kid. I blame it on my dad. He owned a hardware store from the early 1950ā€™s, till the early 1980ā€™s when he had to retire due to illness. Anyway, Iā€™m glad youā€™re ok.

Iā€™m a tool freak too. Well, at least the band TOOL. And theyā€™re finally about to release their new album. Their last album 10,000 days is from 2006: BLF didnā€™t even exist back then, ahaha! :disguised_face:

Yup. I came across some comparison test where these ProbeMasters were ranked the best, based on lowest internal resistance and build quality, so of course I had to have them. :slight_smile:

Happy Birthday, Glenn!

Pete, thanks bro, I really appreciate it! I see the Probmasters are made in the USA. Iā€™ll definitely check them out! Once again, thanks for the birthday greeting :slight_smile:

Glenn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Glen!
