More Christmas swag: M18 Packout Vac View attachment 133815

Got the same too but didn't use it until I picked up the vacuum bags for it. Yeah the HEPA filter is washable but a tiny filter like that will get plugged fast with medium to fine dust. Also grabbed a wet filter in case I use it for wet vacuuming.

Looking for a good carpet brush attachment since the nozzle is an odd size and won't fit my Shop-Vac branded accessories.

Did yours come with a 49-90-2018? Mine did, but I couldn't find onboard storage for it.

It just threads in place of the angled end (reverse thread)

This was kind of an impulse purchase: world's cheapest case spreader, $76 on eBay.

I'll say, it's arguably worth $76 in steel alone. The left and right sides are solid flat bar roughly 1.25 x 2". If anything it's going to be so heavy it'll be impossible to position alone.

I spent $29 at Amazon on a 14-inch 1/4" drive Stahlwille locking extension. Palmac sells it for $19, but they also charge an additional $12 for shipping. If you are buying a lot of Stahlwille tools, the final price at Palmac can be very competitive, despite the shipping charges.
This extension doesn't work well with my 35-40 year old Snap-on and Craftsman 1/4" drive sockets, because they have nonexistent or very shallow detent grooves. So I ordered a set of Tekton short and deep 6pt sockets for $59.

Not a tool, but a tool to store tools. Bought from a retired machinist, like new. I plan to strengthen the connection of the two bottom cabinets and then mount a good vice to it.

Nice boxes! That's about $3K if you buy it new. I've had my Kennedy boxes for over 30 years now. No telling how much money in tools in them. But it puts food on the table and keeps the lights on!

I also ordered some of the same stahlwille locking extensions. Per @Trav 's recommendation.

They feel so solid and well made.
I ordered 1/4 and 3/8 drive.
I didn't think I would need any in 1/2 inch, but I now want some. I will probably buy a few more different lengths. I only bought 2 to judge quality, and it's superb.
