SCORE!

 

That looks nice. Do the tools sit upside down, or without the batteries they fall through?

I made one out of scrap wood, but would like to replace it with something similar to this.

 

Just picked up 2 RC cars.

 

Most my milwaukee tools are 15+ years old and from the days of ni-cad batteries. These tools would slip thru the hanger without a battery attached since the tool has the male end. The current M18 tools will hang fine upside down since the tools now have the female connection on them.
Below the rack i have my air compressor and I have a few things stored behind it, so having the tools the way I have them allows me to pull out the items.
The rack was $55 or so on sale during black friday weekend.

Publix grocery has standing rib roast for 6.99lb


I got two loins about 7lbs each. got 20 steaks out of them, put them in the foodsaver and froze. Last time I did cook at prime rib but figure I"d save the steaks this time. might get another to cook whole. Good investment I think.

 

steaks are always a good investment...

 

It does have diminishing returns though.

 

Bought some parts for my FJ40: tie rod ends, some body parts, filters, etc. I'll start work once I clean up my garage a little...

 

Getting a new car wasn’t in the plans but after joking with my wife about going to get a larger suv before we head out on our road trip to Tennessee Christmas Day we ended up bringing this girl home (yea I know it’s not a Toyota)

Traded our 2017 Pathfinder in for this 2021 Armada

 

Congratulations & safe travels.

 

I didn't buy it, but requested it for an Xmas gift. Should be getting installed this week. New face lift for the 2nd gen.

 

Finally got a impact

best deal I’ve seen should work for whatever I need mostly tires

 

That's ok I saved the $200+ on the Ridgid

 

Damn.. with battery and charger too. Steal

lifetime warranty too

 

Damn, no sales tax? Must be nice.

 

Ya but I gotta cross the boarder I live in Taxatwoshits

 

Today my wife became a vegan lesbian.

 

Congrats to her that's a nice ride
Congrats to you too

I always wondered do you get to keep the bow?

 

Congratulations

 

Lifetime warranty on Rigid. I'm convinced most of these tools are made in the same Chinese sweat shops and then have different labels slapped on them. I recently switched to Rigid too because no one has a better warranty.

 

You're prob right the tool says made in Vietnam on it

 

Butchered 1/2 cow to be delivered next Tuesday

preordered 50 more meat chickens being delivered in March (first 32 already butchered back in December) and preordered 10 turkey to raise and butcher as well

 

I get it, I ran Rigid for a long time. Burnt out a few of their drills and one of the impacts, but they were decent bang for the buck. The warranty always went smoothly. I think the average home jobber is very well served by buying Rigid and I recommend them to my friends and family who need tools.

Problem for me is, I don't like screwing around having to deal with a busted tool and taking it in for warranty replacement. That's why I switched to Milwaukee, haven't broken one yet and I ran my tools hard in the welding industry and I'm not kind to them at home.

Vortex Optics have the same kind of warranty as Rigid. I don't use Vortex Optics anymore either.

 

Congrats on owning a Lesbaru. Great car, and I really like that color.

 

The color is sweet. But it cost me precious moments of my life.
The one she test drove was similar to MGM, too black.
She saw a bronze one and wanted bronze. Salesman said we can find one.
Go in to do paperwork.
She says let me look at the colors again.
I want a green one.
Which green?
The dark one.
Salesman says, We'll find that.
Sign some papers.
Get in the truck to leave. She see two green ones side by side. Gets out to look.
I want the other green.
Go tell the guy. She does, says she's embarrassed about it.
The Autumn Green arrives from 200 miles away. It costs $850 more.
She calls me at work and say I don't want to pay extra for options I don't want. I said call the guy and tell him that.
She does and he knocks $500 off.
She nows has a Forrester in the right color.

 

I wonder if it comes down to luck. I found reviews online from people saying their Milwaukee tool failed. I have a Bosch drill that's almost 11 years old. I have treated it horribly and it continues to work. I'm still on the original batteries that came with it. Part of me wants it to die so I have an excuse to get a new one.

 

I'm sure luck plays into it.

 

My wife has a '21 in the Dark Grey - she hates the color. But it was a screaming deal when we needed to get a replacement rig after our daughter got hit on NYE ('22) and her car was totaled. Momma got a new '21 and daughter got the '17 from mom.
Only now that '17 is a crumpled wreck from Christmas Eve (same daughter - I swear she is a magnet for ass-hat drivers), and we're going to be on the hunt again.

 

We exclusively use Milwaukee at work for most cordless hand tools. Over 1,000 craft workers in the field (large construction company) all using them. We buy over $1.5mm worth of batteries every year (we only buy the ones that can be tracked - same with most of the tools). Most guys in the field treat the tools like shit, but if they are broken in 5 years from the date of service (we have to track that) they are replaced no questions asked.

That said, Rigid's quality and warranty for the average home owner is more than sufficient. We use a lot of Rigid hand tools, and their pipe threading machines, tri-vises, and other large tools (we are primarily a piping contractor). But they don't stand behind the "lifetime warranty" for professional/contractor use like they do homeowner use.
