I've seen the 7in1 they sell, that 9in1 is nice.

My Milwaukee M12 3/8s impact broke. The pressure ring at the tip of the 3/8s stub broke. I am going to contact Milwaukee to see if it is still under warranty.

Ordered and installed a new 1/4" drain ball valve for my Makita compressor. The old one was leaking.

I needed a Soldering iron so I got one on order. Used it to swap the wires on the replacement motor for my kiddo's little electrical truck (the replacement part was soldered backwards). This one was on sale and came with an extra chisel tip. It works well but it burns through some batteries (pun intended).

I found some leftover money in an account so I ordered this electrical reel and got it mounted. It's a 40' 12AWG reel which is perfect for this spot. I put in the electrical outlet right there specifically for this electrical reel.

I got these Prevost quick air connects. They are pretty nice, feel solid and work well.

Actually the valves used to be known as petcocks, the internet search has ruined everything, lol.

Your wife is probably glad you didn't buy another petcock to bring home... lol

Maybe the threaded ones were, not sure about bv ones.

I really like the retractable extension cord reel, extension cords are always a pita to put back after projects.

Yeah and these are heavy duty cords as well with a reset breaker on it. I have another Reelworks 75' 12AWG (basically the next model size up from this one) that I got back in 2016 and I've used the crap out of it and it's holding up just fine. It's currently mounted at the front of my garage so I can use it out on the driveway if need be.

I shipped a M12 stubby impact to Milwaukee for repair. I knew it had broke off the retainer ring but apparently it had more internal damage than that. Either way they repaired the parts that were in bad shape and shipped it back; total ship/ repair/ ship time was not even a week.

We had the power go out last night before the rain came (it ended up being a really bad storm with a ton of rain). So I used my M12 lantern as a light source and it has that USB charging feature built into the side of it. Well I plugged my phone into it to see how well it can charge stuff for the first time since I bought it and my phone said it was going to take 3 hours to charge. When I was using my phone, the M12 charger could barely keep up with charging my phone (I closed most of my apps on my phone so the processor wouldn't be using a ton of power). So that's just something to keep in mind with these new phones with their larger batteries and processors.

Also, that cordless 20V DeWalt fan came in so handy. Really glad I have that little fan on hand.
