What Did You Buy Today?

Came out great. I thought Lisle provided the badges. I guess I misread that post.
So how well does it work? I never see those avail.

Got one, in pink, for my wife…

Let me get the story straight… she saw it and asked for it… she already has it full with her stuff.

I showed it to mine, hoping for a positive response (apparently no emoji in responses). She was disappointingly 'meh'.

I picked up this cool JT Slocomb mic off of E-Bay. Do I need another mic? Well no, but this thing is too cool not to have.

Darn it, I agree. I have a taste for mechanical digital mics. Am just about to post my latest.
 
As mentioned, I have a thing for mechanical digital read out mics. Can justify this as a combination imperial & metric.

Not today, but recently. There have been several times when a mag drill would have been handy, but the price tag always put me off. After seeing several YouTube reviews of Vevor mag drills and looking at the price point, I decided to pull the trigger.

It didn't hurt that I had 2/3rds of the price in Home Depot gift cards. That and my 10% military discount put my out-of-pocket at less than $100.

Of course, as with most things we amateur machinists find fascinating, it's the tooling that gets ya! I bought a cheapo set of annular cutters off China-Zon to get the project at hand done and successfully drilled eight 1/2" holes through roughly 5/8ths of an inch of mild steel, but I could already see some wear on the teeth after that one job. Better cutters will be added to the inventory as the need arises.
