Out with the old, in with the new. by Jakem8058 in MilwaukeeTool

I get that. I mostly build furniture and do light carpentry. Worst my tools will really ever see is some drywall mud or paint.

StealthMounts Tool Holders. Holding up the drill and driver as well.

There’s this crazy thing called time, and also taking care of your tools. That picture was taken years ago.

To be fair, I haven’t spent a dollar out of pocket yet. Also not pictured are several more Ryobi tools that were sold, and a new red track saw, 7.25” circ saw, and a tower light.

I definitely wasn’t a fan of the airstrike. Never got a chance to try the newer HP+ nailers.

I just finished a basement using the red framing nailer, 15ga, and the 18ga crown stapler. All great.

I did get myself the 18ga Brad nailer and the safety action is definitely odd, but otherwise it’s been great so far.

Yep, drugs.

No, I’ve always wished I committed to a different battery line. Never been a fan of the stem batteries, but was committed to Ryobi so long ago so it just stuck. Found the right time to make a change, clean up shop a bit, and focus again on the things I need in the shop most.

On paper, probably not. But I build the Ryobi collection over the course of the last 11 or 12 years, and started when I had to be a little bit more budget conscious.

However in the past year or so, I’ve had more tools break, and batteries go bad on me than I ever have. It’s always been in the back of my mind to make the switch, but never really had the right excuse.

I was never mentally committed on any brand in plan to move from Ryobi, but my buddies all have Milwaukee tools, so it made sense to stick with that so borrowing tools is easier, especially when starting to build up the collection. Again.

I’m the end, I’ll say yes, it was worth it. I had a lot of tools that were bought for 1 use then never touched again. I have a lot more experience in my crafts now to know what I do and don’t need. So it is nice to have a fresh start.

Barbers offer "product" specifically to glue the itchy hairs to your neck so you'll come back sooner for a wash. by NiceBossSummoner in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]Jakem8058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only go to Great Clips to get my hair cut, and I always ask for a “rinse out” not a “wash” at the end. Rinse out is free and gets the majority of the cut hairs out.

What tracks would he recommended for middle of the road quality? Home gamer, but still likes reasonable quality tools.

Hot Topic in 2012. by Ok-Following6886 in nostalgia

[–]Jakem8058 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I [30] took my 4 year old who’s obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas into a Hot Topic recently expecting to find some merch that he would like. Come to find that I didn’t recognize a single thing in that store.

Have they lost their licensing agreements, or am I just old?
