New tool thread

Rebuilding my tool collection. I moved to LA a few months ago and sold off my tools before the move. Excited to try out the M12 1/2" stubby with the 5.0 HO battery. I don't think this should have any problems since the max torque spec is my axle nut at 217 ft/lb.

Always struggling with plugging in vacuums. Saw this Milwaukee on clearance at home Depot for $117. Amazon sells currently for over $200. Decided to buy.

Not a value unless one already has M18 batteries/chargers.

I’ve had that for 5 years or so, no complaints. Very handy for small jobs.

My mom calls that her spider vacuum. She runs the longest rigid extensions and gets spiders. I think they're "meh ok" but prefer the 0880 style with hose.

Just got this little trim router yesterday. Works real nice.

Considering it's a Milwaukee, that is a great price if one has the battery available.

I find that these battery powered vacuums are good for light to medium duty at most. Suction is mediocre IMO.

I bought the Rigid 3 gallon wet/dry vacuum with a set of detailing hoses altogether for $100 at Home Depot on sale. The suction was very strong. The drawback was it is corded.

Picked up this 15 gallon (US, so about 57 litre) air compressor last week. Looking forward to using it! The little 5-gallon has its place, but was not adequate for some of the stuff I want to do.

Regularly $579.99, on sale for $429.99. I had a $100 gift certificate plus over $100 in accumulated cash-back, so the hit wasn't too bad (around $220 + 12% sales tax, all in C$).

Per the manual, I did the 30-minute run (with the drain valve open). It is quite quiet.
