    My son in law gave me his old 18 V Milwaukee drill (he got a bigger, badder one -- one of the hammer drills, if memory serves) -- I don't think I would ever choose to own anything else after using one. Really capable tools.

    Good stuff. Ken! Do they still use metal gears in the guts? We've bought some cheaper brands and kept tearing out the plastic gears.

    Groovy. Thanks for the info. We use them to break loose rusted nuts and bolts off old lighting. Frequent use on a daily basis.
    The bean counters don't like to see us purchasing power tools daily but won't authorize any P.O. over X amount.
    Jerks don't get it. Better tools upfront beats repetitive purchase of inferior tools.
    Go figure.

    this talk of "sleeping with things" that "break loose rusted nuts" is making me feel... wary... vaguely uncomfortable, somehow...

    Alaska 1974 before I got my Akai reel-to-reel. Still had the KLH5's I bought in Calif. so early '74. I think I moved to AR2ax's after these. The integrated amp was a little 40wpc JVC that I really enjoyed.

    the most expensive car one will ever own is a cheap used Mercedes.

    Only men who actually use tools know the value of that statement.

    I'm old enough to remember when quality in anything was a standard, now you have to pay extra for it, go figure.

    Hey now... I have VERY healthy feet, I'll have you know! B)

    I was waiting for a comment about them!

    As for the yucca plants, they went crazy this year! All the blooms are gone now though.

    Heck, now I am trying to wrap my brain around the proliferation of insane succulent plants. This must be an effect of global climate change...
