HI

Hi leingod

There is 3 ways to do things.
The right way.
The wrong way.
And the boss's way.

Give the hardest job, to the laziest person. And they will find the easiest way of doing it. Unless they completely screw it up.

You're sipping it. :rofl2:

At the power plant. I avg 600 hrs a year in overtime. We had guys with 1,300 plus hrs a year. We had 8 hr of over time built into our pay checks.

WMD............dirty bomb..................:eek:

It's almost a shame to paint them.

... almost.

Those are wheel spacers.

What's cool is even though I painted them, the Z1 logo is still visible.

Yes they are. Rep with extra spacing.

Rep and be Repped.

Check yo inbox, good sir.

I am replacing the tools I use all the time with snap on or other high quality brand. :tup:

I need to get some really good screw drivers.

I am partial to Wiha or Wera for screwdrivers.

I own one SO tool. Some wire cutters I got 20 years ago

Can’t drink all day if you don’t start when you wake up.

I go big, not home with my 70mm spacers. Bulldoggin' baby!

When I was working as a mechanic. All my tools was Snap-On. Then when I worked for Elliott and was traveling. My Snap-On tools became my shop tools. And I bought Craftsman as my traveling tools. If I broke a Snap-On tool. I had to wait until Tuesday to get it replaced at the shop. Can't do that on the road. That's why I used Craftsman. If I broke a Craftsman tool on the road. I just find a Sears. So I have 2 sets of tools now. :icon14:

A Snap-On wrench will turn a rounded bolt where a Craftsman or other cheap wrench will not.

DO NOT use an impact gun on chrome MAC sockets unless you want shrapnel in your hand. They explode.

Is that Presto?

I figure the other tools in the garage can be used by the neanderthals that I let wrench in the garage. :icon17:

I picked up SO 6 pc. wobble extension set and 12 pc. 6 point, 8-19mm socket set this morning.

Had a nice nap. Eye lids got heavy around 6pm. Got horizontal in my lazyboy, covered up with my blanket. Didn't hear a thing until 8. Feel pretty good. :tup:

The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXX
 

I buy quality hand tools. Power tools I typically pick up the combo set and if I use one of them enough that it breaks, I replace that one with a quality replacement. I like to work with my hands but I don’t make a living at it, so I don’t see a need for top shelf everything.

I have a mix of Snap-on, Mac, and Craftsman. I love Snap-on hand tools. They always feel great in your hand where the others do not. Air tools I use MAC. I had to start with something so Craftsman was what I bought a long time ago.

Exactly. That is why replacing just the stuff I use all the time is my goal. I dont care who makes my dead blow hammer, its a dead blow hammer I hit things with. :icon17:
For power tools, I rarely use anything beyond a sawzall or drill as I have a large air compressor available. With that being said, JC had a REALLY nice Rigid cordless impact that I have coveted.

I have to agree. JC brought a bunch of his wrenches up here and they just felt good while wrenching on the car. Not sure if I was imagining it or the S.O. kool aid was kicking in but there is $1100 in wrenches on my Wishlist on the SO site. :icon17:

I be tired; Gonna peep at the mail & hit the sack!

One drawer in my Snap-On box is worth over $15,000. And I have 2 drawers like that. :eek: One standard wrenches and one metric.

I got Snap-On, Craftsman, MAC, and stuff that you might never heard of.

For cordless power tools. When I worked for Elliott and Duke. That's 30 yrs total. I used it all. DeWalt, Rigid, Milwaukee, Craftsman, Roybi, etc. And I prefer the Milwaukee. The batteries don't go bad as fast as the other ones and have to buy replacements as often. The chucks grip better on their drills.

What I don't like on the new ion batteries. When they die. They're dead. Use it, sit it down. Pick it back up, and nothing. With the older style batteries. You knew it was coming close to needing a recharge because it was slowing down. One the plus side of the ion batteries. My new 18v Milwaukee batteries have a light to indicate charge level.

I was able to get my car hauler in the back yard today. I did not think it was going to be possible because my driveway is so steep. I can't give Spooler enough props for his advise with the trailer and recommending the wheelie rollers. The pictures obviously don't do much justice but you can kind of get an idea of what I contend with.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bbb96af08f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2910df7bcb.jpg

That gate to the yard is really handy. :tup: Glad you guys made it home safe and sound.

Thanks it was good trip with no mishaps but I don't want to do that kind of driving all at once again if I don't have too. I like to take my time anymore.

Yep, my house sits on a half acre so it is nice to have a the space. I need to build another garage or two LOL!

:iagree:

Nice yard. :tup: Do you know what a lawn mower looks like? And how to use it? :rofl2:
