What Did You Buy Today?

[wachuko]

Finally home. I can open the stuff that arrived…



It does come with the stop… Photos in the selling ad did not show it… Great.

I think that I am really going to like using this bandsaw

Impulse buy...(aren't they all??)... Walker-Turner GR35 - seems to be from around 1944-45

Since it does not have the guards, nor the rests, thinking that this will be perfect for the polishing wheels... Plus I read, in the Vintage Machinery forum, that these are a bit wimpy, so even better for polishing use... Will see once it gets here...

Needs a lot of TLC...

Facing a 16" plank keeps you alert!

I imagine it would.

Careful fixing up old machinery is addictive.

Continuing my house project assisted case of TAS (Tool Acquisition Syndrome) I just purchased a pair of Ryobi cordless nail guns (Trim & Brad) for installing trim and hanging doors. I was only going to get the one, but the pair was on sale, plus a battery and charger for only $60 more than the single tool. Great deal I keep telling myself....

Oooohhhh, you are going to get hooked with those cordless tools... We did the shed with them... well, and a Dewalt sliding miter saw. I saw that you got one of those as well, ha! Cool!

 

[macardoso]

Yeah, they get you with the family of tools sharing the batteries. Once you have a few batteries, it is cheaper to keep buying into the family.

The battery powered nailers are pretty big/heavy, but no cord or compressor (I had both already) to drag around.

I've had my eye on those, but since I have some decent air nailers other new tools keep winning out.

If these are your first Ryobi tools they are insidious, fairly cheap but a good quality home owner grade tool so once you have the battery system the tool only deals are so easy to add to your cart...

I have several Shars keyless chucks, all are well made.

Good to hear. The price point is very desirable.

Lol, I started with the cordless drill way back in the day. Got it cheap, battery included. Now the door is open and they keep flooding in!

Heck you can even buy a lawn mower that runs on their universal batteries
