One of my most favorite tools is my laser level. However, this weekend I used my new Dewalt Pruner, and that thing is unbelievable. It just keeps going and going and slices through pretty big branches. I had an old, weak fence blow over that had a very large trumpet vine growing thru it. The only way to prop up the fence was to cut back the vine, which appears to be decades old and many, many thick branches. This tool worked all day without needing a charge. Note: you must be careful with this as it will cut off a finger with ease.

I'm up in PNW for a funeral, volunteered to fix cars- no good deed goes unpunished.
 

Instead of shipping my my makita I brought this and had it shipped to my brother's househttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1757897433.jpg

Tool review: Ignore the Chinese Scrabble name- for $99 this is a winner. It was strong enough to twist a 12MM lug stud in half during removal (cross-threaded) and I used it for a day yanking wheels, caliper mounting bolts.

Ya it's kind of cheap- you put the battery on the charger and the charger lights up as if it's charging (cord was still unplugged LOL) but it has nuts.

Karma- NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED. My old Acura TL has been in the PNW outside for 3 years now. Rusted rotors stuck to the hubs, Discount Tire mandatory cross-threaded lug on one wheel, and the car is just roughed up. Did swaybar endlinks on Aunts CR-V as well (clunks)

Total PITA, dirty, disgusting and cross threaded bolts. Old dirty, rusty, brakes, rotors, PS line (sucks on a HONDA), but the tool helped, immensely.

Unfortunately.... a paint brush. Man I hate painting..

Blue loctite and a philips screwdriver.

Hacksaw and a file.

Does a rod and reel qualify as a tool? If so, then this one!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d6cf06937a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...687c2d307d.jpg

I like yours better, I think. I bought basically the same thing, but with plastic temples. Too heavy and I had to modify it to keep it from slipping off my head.

Today I used my lawn mower, edger, string trimmer and leaf blower. Lotsa fun mowing the yard. I have a 1/3 of a mile of edging, and 1/4 mile of trimming. Our house has a concrete sidewalk all the way around the house, and a sidewalk in front that gets both sides edged, and then the sidewalk up to the house. It is good exercise for me.

Angle grinder with a wire wheel, taking old paint and rust off the winter steelies that go on 'the old man's car'. I suppose technically the last tool I used was a paint brush, but the way I paint, I hesitate to even mention it.

My Craftsman Saws All to cut back a jade plant that was encroaching into the yard.

This weekend I used a Starrett metric 3.5m tape measure and a Disston D7 crosscut panel saw that was made between 1888 and 1896.

I grew up working with fractions, and I've got a head for math and numbers so fractions don't bother me. But metric tape measures are so much easier to deal with. I started out with a Starrett that was metric and English, but then realized that it would be easier having the same scale on both sides of the blade. I do prefer the 5m a bit more. It's got better ridigity.

Just arrived from Amazon, so I haven't used them yet.

BJSIA Electrical Disconnect Pliers for Cars, Automotive Hose & Fuel Line Disconnect Tools with Connector Pliers for Push Tab Style Plugs (Straight head+bend) $14/pair

I've tried three times now to get my throttle pedal electric connector freed. Last time I tried, I noticed a steady drip, drip noise on my Tuxmat while my head was laying on it.
Wiggled my way out and found a good gash in my forearm while trying to work the connector off. There is not enough room to get both hands on it (because of the clutch and brake pedals. So, my solution is to throw some money at some tools and try again.:)
If anyone knows of better tools for the purpose...let me know.

Actually, they make awful hammers. ;)

I worked with a guy that lived in a high rise condo. He heard a commotion one night and noticed lots of police in the hall by his place. It turned out that his neighbor had been assaulted (maybe killed) by a woman using her high heels. Yours look like they would fit the bill.
