If Echo makes it, and I need it, I'm buyin' it. Fuck Stihl, Husqvarna, et. al.

I have the PB 250 blower with the curved tube, it'll blow a brick down my sidewalk. The SRM 225 string-trimmer will till dirt if you want it to, and my stick-edger is lightning, and hardly anyone even knows what they are...

They all start on a bump. Echo is quality.

BTW-- these Li-ion 18v compact drills are the absolute shit. The impact version of the Ridgid will straight out yank any stripped phillips screw instantly, with a standard #2 bit. It is not your daddy's cordless drill. Seriously, they are different, in a good way.

The Dewalt 20v is the same way, they both kick the Makita's ass, even though many buy the Makita because of how it feels in your hand (without actually using).

I get to try all of them, even the ones we don't sell.

I think it's actually "Rigid".

I like my Exacto knife set. Except for the POS plastic lining for the blade holders. Not that an Exacto knife really counts as a tool.

One only needs 10 tools:
1 Hammer
2. Flathead screwdriver.
3. Phillips screwdriver.
4. Hacksaw.
5. General purpose wood saw.
6. Regular pliers.
7. Needle-nose pliers.
8. Vise-grip.
9. Crescent wrench.
10. Pipe wrench.

Plus two weapons of mass destruction:
Post maul.
Crowbar.

Plus duct tape.

Everything else is the creation of engineers, city boys, and suburban pansies.

Sorry, Foster old bean, but ...

Who needs that electric shit?

And if God had meant leaves to be raked, blown, and otherwise being given handjobs by humans, he would have made teenagers something other than useless.

Well, so much for fixing my guitar. I can't use an allen wrench because it's not on Wade's list.

Gunny, what would our collection of computer geeks and poetry teachers know about tools?

I'm a Dewalt man myself, but I've received a lot of gifts with the Craftsman brand. That lifetime guarantee thing is pretty cool.

Lawnmowers, I have a Cub Cadet and a older wheelhorse for the trails. Trimmer is a Toro 2 cycle.

Chain saw Husky 450. Plus a 16" Polan for trimming around the yard.

DR chipper for clean up.. but that is a co ownership with Pops. Auction bought... still works well.

Though my dad himself wouldn't have needed the Phillips or the vise-grip. Perhaps not the wood saw, either. In the hands of a pro, the hacksaw can work magic.

I'll concede the Allan wrench, zombieslayer.

Not sure about opening a c-clamp -- I always just use my hand, perhaps added by a shop rag. I'm not strong enough to tighten too much. 😞 But I suppose one could always call Adrian Peterson when one needs more strength -- after all, he'll be free in early January.

Dad, being top wrestler in his squadron of the AAC, wouldn't have needed any help, though.

Sigh, he died 35 years ago and it feels like yesterday that he was insisting I make a fifth attempt to sweep the shop to his satisfaction.

😞

Without an allen wrench, a guitar becomes a useless piece of wood. And no, that's not an exaggeration.


Foster - an allen wrench is an allen wrench. I pick mine up at the local hardware store. But as I said to Wade, if time isn't an issue, someone else gets $$$ to fix my guitars nowadays. Last guy I paid something like $200 to do some work. I hate doing it.
