I have a mix of Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Bosch. Out of the three, I like the Milwaukee's over the other two.

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.

The Husky is reputed to be a great saw. The Poulan may be a POS, dependent upon if it is a scrench capable (good) or a plastic wheel adjustable (chain tension) - bad. DR is good. Toro- look for an EPA sticker. No sticker- bad. Class C 50 hrs better Class B 125 hrs better Class A 300 hrs, best. Only Echo 300 hrs.

Fuck Stihl, Husqvarna, et. al.

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).

My little 12v makita's have helped me through many many quads, dirtbikes, saws, lawn mowers, etc. I use them more than my 18v.

Nothing gets more attention than my welding machine though.

edit: dont forget the good ol spud wrench

I ride quads.

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

Sorry, Foster old bean, but ...

I like my Porter Cable power tools.

I just went this morning to a guy's house and purchased his dad's roofing nailer. His dad passed away, and he had no use for it. I'm getting ready to re-roof my house and shed this spring. His dad used it to re-roof his house, then sent it to a local supplier to have it serviced, for absolutely no good reason. The guy wanted 75 bucks for it, I told him I only had 60. It is as brand new, I swear. I called the co. that serviced it (sticker on gun) The owner told me I absolutely stole that nailer.

Hitachi NV45AB. I read the reviews, this is a seriously good tool.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster!

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (16h) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (21h) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : Saints have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.

dfosterf (8-Apr) : Question of the week for me: Has anyone besides me done any deep dive into the potential of Alex McGough, our 3rd string qb?

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Or in Tunsil's case, something gets released day of draft or day before lol

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Seems every year someone does something pre-draft.
