Do those Weller guns actually die? I have dropped mine probably once a use and it never misses a beat.

They are hearty SOBs, I think ons a person is about all that’s needed. Funny usually companies design it so they break every so often so you have to buy another. Nowadays they are made by apex tool group same company that makes gear wrench, so let’s hope the quality is still there.

Picked up a set of security bits and small jewelers bits with this kit from Klein, no specific use for it right now but seems like it’ll come in handy.

I just ordered this same set on my work tool order today. Mostly need the security bits but the rest will be nice to have for those one-off times I have to work on weird shit.

I also got a cheap knockoff version from Amazon that I don't fully trust yet

I also picked up a 20kmah Anker power pack and a 25kmah power pack as well. We went through some power the first two days.
Get you a welder/generator and mini split too!
A mini split is on my list for 2024 improvements. It will help control cooling costs and provide a Plan B for primary HVAC issues or extended power lose.
My buddies dad did that. He runs his house off a generator welder but that thing is massive.
I'm getting a 13k tri-fuel generator and I've got a window unit now.

You will get more use out of the welder vs. just having a generator on standby.
I need one that can run off a natural gas hookup.

I have an old vise from about 1925 or so. Its pretty damn cool.
I ordered this Westinghouse 2500w (max wattage) generator just to have for emergencies or working out @thekidcatchers ranch. It's not as quiet as a Honda 2200ie and the case doesn't feel as durable as the Honda's but it's just under half the price of the Honda. I ran it for 1.5 hours last night and I'll run it again tonight to get it to the 5 hour break-in period.

Should have picked a predator ginny, if the Honda one was too much.
The Predator was more than this one and less watts. I had ordered the Predator 2000watt, found out it was on backorder, canceled it and then found this Westinghouse one on Amazon which made it to my doorstep two days later.

Well I hope the Westng servers you well.
I would have waited for the predator to be back in stock and used one of the no exclusion coupons to purchase it. Those predators are damn near clones of Honda and you can find parts for them, I'm not sure parts for Westing can be found.

I have the small 1400 watt Predator with a Berg 6 gallon extension kit. Runs a small window AC unit just fine.
You can find parts for em. This is just one website that I grabbed real quick.
