Stihl chainsaw piston went. So I left the shop with the slightly upgraded version, the MS311.

Microwave also died so have a replacement on the way. Can't wait to replace this POS Samsung microwave.

New Panasonic inverter microwave is awesome so far. Cooks food like a microwave should.

The cheap Amazon M12 5A High Output batteries came in finally. I was getting ready to cancel the order but they finally shipped. They seem legit.

Missing 9in Linemans type pliers.

I lost a pair of pliers, I used it for all my electric fence needs. I have no clue to where it's at. Crazy part, they were some off brand pliers, I dont know the name either, but it was a really good quality tool. I drove around everywhere I went this week with no luck. My guess is that one of the cows had mouth them and pulled out of the back. It's not uncommon, but the cows mess with a lot stuff I carry around on the Mule. I'm gonna remember to start throwing the tools back into the toolbox that I always carry around.

It is not a war crime the first time.

It took me a few years to learn to keep critical tools in either a proper tool bag/box or in the middle of the trailer or truck bed. The horses or cows would take off with stuff all the time.

New trucks TPMS sensors were not “learned” to the truck. I bought the $7 tool to do it and it worked. But then I saw this and decided I needed it.

It’s pretty slick. I used it to test the sensors and it worked like a champ.

I bought a cheap one off Amazon that uses the M18 batteries. Works great so far. Spent about $50 on it iirc. That being said I do want the Milwaukee version of it.

Cheap ass SO tools.
Didn't realize there was that much heat, twisted that 3/32 allen hex, lol. To be fair I've had these since my Army aviation days, so they are about 25yrs old.

I was watching this video about HF's new lineup for 2025 and these power stations look nice. Curious as to the final price points of each.
