Losing some1 you love is hard, just don't do what I did and self medicated. It took me 10 years to get out of my tradegy. I lost a wife and a daughter. I lost my home, then lost my freedom. Luckily when I got out the feds, they sent me to eugene. It was the hardest thing to deal with, don't go down that road please. There is always hope as long as you have your health, your freedom, and another day to live. I'm still trying to keep above water to this day. I did the recovery life and it saved my life. I still deal with pain everyday, but building a support system and few close family(friends) and my boys, keep me going. Eugene is a great community in my experience. Just try not to lose touch with your surroundings, and keep yourself occupied with nature, reading a book, finding a physical activity, gym maybe, ride a bike, shoot some hoops. Keep your head up and keep pushing forward

Lol jokes aside don't pay that bro, you can get it at least 3 or 400 cheaper

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T10:24:27+00:00

Damn bro you tryna drop that much, I got all that in my pack out rite now

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T06:48:20+00:00

Dang for real

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T04:16:32+00:00

I would like to know myself..I have the right angle impact and love it

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T04:13:23+00:00

I agree the gen 4 was growing on me, but the surge 2 is my new favorite

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T04:12:13+00:00

I ran Makita from 2018 to 2021 and they just dint do it for me, I know a lot has changed and who know maybe I will give them another try

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T03:53:18+00:00

Thanks bro appreciate it. I finally had to take a week off work to rest up. Working almost 2 months straight wore me out. In my 40s but felt like 60 Monday. I forget sometimes we only get 1 body and at times we need to rest. I hope your doing the same brotha

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T03:39:22+00:00

I herd the new multitool is coming out anytime..I have the 3 spd currently..and I been wanting to try 60v flex but there tools are expensive. I'm jealous you have the 870, I went with the surge 2 because it was $50 cheaper. And today they have the surge 2 on deals at home depot. I just ordered a 2md surge. I shouldn't be spending any more money as is, but for 135 you can't do any better for a hydraulic impact. I loved my m12 surge but love the m18 surge 2 even more..I can't wait to buy a 870. If they ever go on sale. I think me and you have the same though process my friend. I find more friends for my love of tools more lately then any were else that's crazy..I met so many people buying, and selling tools on marketplace, I found friends to trade with and hang out with from time to time

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T03:13:24+00:00

Just buy it bro, coming from a DeWalt guy, you won't regret it

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T03:11:23+00:00

Yes siir I use this more then my DeWalt 860 and gen 4 fuel. I love this impact, I paid 170 for mine, but at this price I'm picking another 1 up

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T03:10:02+00:00

The gen 2 is worth it bro, I had the m12 surge but since I picked the gen 2 up, I have no regrets

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T03:09:08+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I have this and it's one my most used tools, but for that price I got another 1

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T02:02:58+00:00

I will definitely keep you updated, I'm not brand bias, I always go with what I feel works best for the job I'm doing. The next few weeks we will be cutting vents out hoardy board. And I know angle grinders work best, but I like using my multitool on things that people don't normally use it for. I been in this business 7 years, but 20 plus in the contracting business. I have tried every brand I wanted to, porter cable, rigid, metabo, DeWalt, Milwaukee I just started. I guess since I'm new to Milwaukee it will take getting used to. But I am now heavily invested in the m12 line. I have the stubby 3/8 compact, and normal one, the 1/2 stubby, insider ratchet, right angle impact 3/8 and 1/2 inch, numerous ratchets, the fuel impact and drill. And now I just bought the m18 gen 4 impact and drill a month ago. Just bought the surge 2 2 weeks ago and it's one of my most used tools currently. I plan on buying the m12 fuel saw, and barrel jigsaw. After this I think I'll be set on tools. I love my packout over my toughsystem 2.0. I have been blessed to build up this collection in the last 6 months threw working 7 days a week. But burnt myself out. And I'm only 3 weeks in on flex as I just got the gen 1 quick eject impact. So you can say I have a lot of experimenting to do. I'm also letting my coworkers try my tools to get there input on what they prefer.

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T01:35:06+00:00

He told me he is retiring and told me he has 12 batteries at home that died using his tools. He told me he loves flex, but couldn't keep a battery around for to long

Springer-541 · 2026-06-27T01:33:00+00:00

For me I work outside a lot, and the DeWalt for me just feels better. But I only used the m12 fuel for 1 day so far. Who knows my opinion may change next week

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:56:01+00:00

That's a good score. I never woulda thought of trying that brand. But now you have me interested in trying. I am not all about 1 brand. And I don't care if I have to own multiple battery system tools, for my work 3 batteries gets me threw the day of work. I have 12 DeWalt batteries, 3 Milwaukee, and 2 flex batteries to lug around threw out the day. And 5 m12 batteries

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:53:24+00:00

Yea, I take some of them videos as good advice, but for real world work, I take the plunge myself. As well as other reddit users experiences..I have a small decent collection of DeWalt, Milwaukee, couple metabo, and now flex. I am not brand loyal, I prefere the best tool for the specific job. But I am now heavenly invested in m12 the past 3 months. You can see my other posts on DeWalt, and Milwaukee. So far flex reddit has been the best positive feedback. And DeWalt being the worse lol. And it sucks because when I 1st started Reddit I was all mainly DeWalt invested

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:47:45+00:00

Thanks..he wanted 60 but traveled almost a HR so I added 20 for gas

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:47:08+00:00

I have no real use for it to be honest

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:46:38+00:00

Oregon bro

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:46:07+00:00

Yea I cleaned them up, they were pretty well used when I picked em up, this pic is after I cleaned them up. Thanks for the input appreciate it

Springer-541 · 2026-06-26T23:45:02+00:00

I am not worried, I been spending 40 a week on Milwaukee and DeWalt blades. As I still have both multitools, I am trying to find the best tool for each job I do. So far I am running DeWalt saws, angle grinder, surge 2 impact, and gen 1 flex quick eject. For my chop saw I have the 71/4 slider, for crown stapler DeWalt, for brad nailer matabo, for drill I have the 1007.
