Tools!

Forgot to post this. I bought this HEPA vacuum on sale and it came with a free Makita packout box that fits on top. We use these everyday at work and they are incredible vacuums. My guys absolutely love these vacuums. Nilfisk makes them for Makita, FLEX & Milwaukee.

The design of this filter system keeps the actual HEPA filter out of the dust bin (unlike most other manufacturers HEPA vacuums) and it has a feature that "knocks" the filter every 20 seconds to keep the dust out of the filter. It's a great design that I'm gonna use on my table saw, miter saw, sanders and cleaning out the cars.

Looks like Stedlin air fittings is going out of business so I stocked up on some of the last fittings available on Amazon.

Also bought a Provost air coupler (it's European) as it looks pretty sweet. I'll try it out and let y'all know if it's worth the money or not.

Bought another box of these as I've probably gone through 50 of them already. They are pretty sweet.

Oh yeah, those Provost couplers are cool AF! I see those in my future.

Those anchor studs a nice as well... I have used the same.

Picked up a cheap soldering iron that runs on M18 batteries. Works well enough. Just tested it by tinning a piece of 12 ga wire. Worked fine. You do have to crank up the temps though. Not sure how accurate that temp setting is.

@thekidcatcher ran a computer, two monitors, phone charger, speaker and a light off of a Milwaukee top off the other day when he lost power. That's pretty sweet.

I'm still waiting on DeWalt to come out with a similar one so I can use my 60V batteries with it.

This same company had the solder irons that ran on Dewalt and Makita batteries as well.

I keep debating a Milwaukee power adapter. How long did he have power for all of that?

In my office I have two UPS's.. one for my main PC and monitors and one for my work laptop and router and modem. But I also have one of my small Ecoflow power stations in there powering my Plex server and personal laptop. Its also got a couple USB cables that have 3 or 4 different tips on them so I can recharge a flashlight or whatever easily.

Doesn’t Milwaukee make an M12 soldering iron? Pretty sure we have one in our electronic shop at work.

 

[Silverback]

They do, its about $100.

Not sure how long but it stayed on until the power turned back on. If you have M18 batteries I would def get one of those.

Picked up some Made in Japan small files. Seem like good quality. We shall see.

 

[Silverback]

Well.. I should go look around my garage more often. NO idea how long this has been out there or even where I got it. But the outside of the case is dirty and dusty as shit... inside is brand new. M12 1/4 driver.

I really figured @Anathollo would be doing a better job at inventorying the tools out there. .

 

[Silverback]

I’m still baffled. I mean I would not even buy that tool for myself. No way I would buy a non-Fuel anything if it was bought in the past 5 years. Much less an M12 impact driver. Where did it come from? Old Silverback who drank a case a beer a day could tell you… joking. No he couldn’t.

I have one of those and it is great for simple around the house use. The drill is lightweight and has enough power but not too much. Also for a while they were being sold for $30 or $40.

 

[Silverback]

With 2 batteries for that cheap? That is a steal!

I've been slacking. My bad

I gave mine to my mom. It had so little power that it pissed me off using it. It also weighed a ton.

I love my Fuel M12 impact and drill. Use one of em almost every day on something.
