And if you already have the tools, you can get some batteries if you need them. A charger, 2x 3.0 amp hr batteries, 2x 4.0 amp hr batteries and a bag:

Ridgid is the cordless line I point people too if they are not invested in a battery system yet. Really good stuff for the price

Taxes. Thats why it should be a deduction for those that arent getting it. Im glad cruiselines arent getting anything. They sail under a different flag in order to skirt paying US taxes. And NOW they want taxpayer money?

I don't see too many of them returned.

Here's a list of who owns who.

The cruise ships are flagged to different countries for wage and safety regs. There is only one ship that is US flagged. It's a cruise ship in Hawaii. It never leaves the islands.

Watching Netflix, and seeing lots of lightening out of the front window. It's getting black out.

CST Berger is on that list. My mom worked for them from when they where independent, through a couple buyouts and then Bosch closed the place and moved it out of the US

Definitely. But they pad their profits by incorporating in Bermuda, “current Bermuda law,” where it’s incorporated, the company is “not subject to tax on income and capital gains.”

.... they should be looking to Bermuda for a bailout

We just got hammered.

Couple of place near by got hit with lightening.

Shook up the wifey and the dog.

Mia went running for her kennel, and wifey asked if we should head for the basement.

Jar, blame Joby! He got my hooked on the ridgid octane series!

When I worked for Elliott. I dropped a Milwaukee 1/2' drill down 4 levels of a steam boiler. I watched it bounce from pipe to pipe all the way down to the bottom. I got down to the bottom, and the drill was still in one piece. Plugged it in and it sill worked.

That sold me on Milwaukee. At the power plant when we first started. Everyone wanted Dewalt. So I bought Dewalt's. Lots of them. Over the years, we would replace them about every 18 months. They just wasn't lasting. The batteries lasted about one year. So I got them to switch to Milwaukee's. Last I heard. They are lasting about 2.5 years, and batteries about 2 years.

If I had a choice I'd outfit the garage with Hilti and Bosch.
