I really canât say. I took BigDaddyâs face, put it on TinWhisperers body and used your hair.
(I think I hi-jacked your topic enough for the night).
Everyone in the U.S. Have a Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday.
Those of you elsewhere, I wish you the best of times, as well.

Funny, I started turning gray at 35. Truthfully more like 30.
@Knick - you want in on this?
Bite me.

I canât decide if itâs Craigâs personality or his good looks that gets him all these deals.
Maybe itâs both!
I posted this before I saw the model guy.
Ya heâs a chick magnet. And that Jim, he sure is clever with the pics.

Iâm a little paler than this almost albino. This time of year I work from dark to dark in basements and under houses. No sun for me. It reminds me of a saying from my old boss.
âIâm like a mushroom, I am kept in the dark and everyone feeds me bullsh*tâ
( and on a side note if anyoneâs not watched the movie âPowderâ from 1995, itâs very good)

I need some advice from the older and sometimes wiser among you. lol
Iâm looking to buy my first cordless impact wrench.
I have several pneumatic impact wrenches but theyâre all getting long in the tooth and need replacement.
So years ago when DeWalt first came out with cordless tools I used to dewalt 18v stuff ( it was a little anemic ) and then move to Ridgid 18v stuff just 'cause it was easy to get from Home Depot/Costco but now Iâve been moving back into the DeWalt 20v/60v platform .
This is the cordless impact wrench that Iâm considering buying. What do you guys think ?or do you have any other suggestions? Even if itâs pneumatic.
Also did anyone out there get me new toys over Black Friday?

It has an incredible impact. I have had both Milwaukee and DeWalt. I primarily use Milwaukee drills and hex impact drivers. I have had no issues with DeWalt. I will say this, though, if you choose Amazon, be careful, they are not a fake.
It will break a lugnut clean off if youâre not careful

We have one at work I hate it! Itâs heavy as lead! No I am being unfair I am not a fan of battery operated tools. You have to change to many diapersâŚ. Honestly as soon as we got it the anvil broke replaced under warranty. 4 years later it need replaced again due to wear.

Do you have a favorite pneumatic one you use?
Maybe the half inch version is better option?

i have a sears craftsman impact that was a beast in its day on high torque it would definitely break wheel studs like the DeWalt. it is a impact that my dad bought 35 years ago around about. i have used the devil out of it. there isnât many home owned impacted that has been used this much. i started assembling hauler steps for work with it. it certainly gets a workout. they donât make them like they used to. a lot of the tire shops around here use thunder gun.
the only downfall i have to the DeWalt is it is heavy well and i donât like changing batteries all the time.

I Started with DeWalt years ago and have slowly migrated to Milwaukee. I think they are very comparable but in my opinion the Milwaukee is a little better. If your tool is shot and you still have batteries you can always get the battery adapter. I call them adapter heel. From DeWalt to Milwaukee or Milwaukee to DeWalt. Even Bostch to Milwaukee.

Also been looking at one of these since they were 350 bucks Canadian at one time now theyâre 540. And Veto pro pac no longer makes them. Kind of thinking of it with this Black Friday discount.
Veto Pro Pac OT-XXL Open Top Tool Bag â Mississauga Hardware Centre Inc
Yeah itâs a lot for a tool bag
I have three other veto bags I bought over the years used and I like them a lot but I bought them all used for 1/3 or 1/4 of what the brand new price of them was.

I am a fan of Milwaukee but you need to buy the âFuelâ series. The ones that donât have Fuel are consumer line that might not last.
My brother in law has an 80 acre farm and lots of equipment. Here is his garage:
He was telling me a story that he was trying to remove a lug nut off one of his tractors with a 3/4 inch pneumatic impact wrench, which had never failed him before. He couldnât get it to budge. His son is a Milwaukee ânutâ and pulled out his Milwaukee 1/2â Cordless Impact wrench and took it loose, no problem. After that he no longer doubts the ability of Milwaukee tools.
I canât tell you which one he has. I bought a combo grease gun/impact wrench kit and have only used the impact wrench a few times. It is a beast compared to my pneumatic impact wrench.

I know!!! And that one tractor is a really big tractor (to me, anyway) and it looks small in there. That is about a third of this particular building. He was a semi-hobby/semi-business hog farmer. This building was built for his hogs. He had room for 28 sows and all their little piglets to be penned up with ample space. Plus there was room for all the other pigs as they got larger. The smell was fierce!!! The floors had stainless steel grates with a pit beneath. The floor you see, was poured over those pits now.
This is in Oklahoma. When I met their family, back in 1976 or so, they had 300 fruit trees. Those trees are all gone and he has planted about 150 pecan trees. He is always working even though he is retired now. He had open heart surgery last week. He is a very special person.
