My ol' trusty Dewalt concrete drill finally burned up. I've had that thing for over a decade and have used the hell out of it. I've more than got my money's worth out of it.
But I wanted something with a dust collection system so I picked this up during the holiday deals they had this past weekend. The hammerdrill came with a free 8A powerpack battery (the battery just came out on the market). I've used it already and it works well.

Awhile back I had gotten a Wera bit kit and I was so impressed with the quality of those bits, that I got the Wera bit extensions. They are really nice.
This is the 6" extension. It's replacing a 6" Milwaukee extension that finally bent after taking out & installing over 10k worth of screws, lag bolts, etc...I remodeled my whole house, deck and some of my pier with it.

Couldn't resist that deal (by a tool, get a free 8A tabless battery) so I ordered another cordless grinder. So now I get to be fancy like @Silverback and have one for cutting and one for grinding 
But in fairness, my original cordless grinder has a ton of hours on it already so this is something I'll use quite a bit.

Tank Tough Floor Jack TNK TT2023-1 | eBay
The silhouette of this garage jack is inspired by the toughest tank in the field. Unlike a traditional jack with 4 wheels, underneath the treads, the Tank Jack is equipped with 8 total wheels that provide solid positioning.

I'm waiting on the remote control version.

Picked up a Milwaukee M18 oscillating multi-tool…. Killer price at $99 with battery and charger. I have a Bosch version but it’s probably 14 years old and so are its batteries.

Fucking grenaded another Estwing dead blow. Demoing tile in my daughter’s bathroom. It blew apart on the first 18” sq. piece, smacking into a chisel. Absolute shit. I have one more but it’s also turning that white in color. I will be buying a complete set from somewhere else shortly.
also, I forgot how much fun and how dusty demoing tile was. Good lord.

Welp. The last one lasted about 2 swings. At least they are gone now. Might go look at the Icon deadblows.
Take it easy on the hammers, ya big ape!

I have a bunch of Estwing hammers, its just those red coated ones that seem to be the issue. FWIW I have a similar red coated Gearwrench and its fine. But I went and picked up an Icon 24oz ball peen deadblow and I'll see how I like it. So far its nice. Will most likely get the others. I was/still am remodeling Kennas bathroom and I pulled all the baseboards up (they are made of some "sustainable material".. AKA cardboard.. just shit) so I pull them all up and replaced with that plastic stuff and I really like it so far. Cutting was easy, install was easy. I still need to caulk the joints and touch up paint them but that all is about done. Vanity and all the shower fixtures go in tomorrow if I can get it done before the in-laws show up. I also picked up a HF Bauer brand brad nailer (got the nailer, 5AH battery and charger for $80.. normally the nailer alone is $99) and for as little as I will use it I can live with it. So far its working awesome. No complaints.

We're going to be redoing our laundry room as soon as we get through this plumbing clusterfuck. Not looking forward to the tile. I hate doing tile. But it's such a small space, I'm not paying anyone to do it. We're going to end up stripping the whole room down to studs though. Going back with a lot of builtins. So lots of new tools are in my near future.
Man I try to only buy hammers with a wooden handle now. The wood is replaceable and I feel like the wood absorbs more of the energy than the plastic or dipped handles.
Man, look at LVP flooring. It's super durable, easier to install then tile and affordable. I did my whole upstairs in it and it's held up awesome to a 175# dog and two girls.

I've done LVP before. We will end up doing it when we replace the carpet in the rest of the house. But my wife is set on brick floors in the laundry room. And since a real brick floor isn't possible, brick look tile will be the way we go. It's only 7.5'x8.5' so it won't be terrible. And I have an actual tile guy to fall back on if something pops up I need a hand with for whatever reason.

Brick floors? I did a brick walkway and porch in our old house... turned out great. But never seen a brick floor indoors, sounds cool.
