That is a sweet setup. I really wish I had more room to have a portable box like that.

Little stuff compared to the investments the rest of you post, but a step up for my measly tool box.
Can't be a professional tool whore over night, but you look like ya got promise
Anyone tried these diamond cutoff/grinding discs? This particular one has a lifetime warranty. Thinking about it for the business where we go thru quite a few cutoff wheels. https://millnertools.com/products/e...321680489&pr_ref_pid=738940099&pr_seq=uniform
Pretty pricey.. If you get some, report back. Interesting idea.
I saw them also. I spend about $500 a year on grinding disc's and cut off wheels. These would save a bunch of money if they really work.
But a set of drill bits also. Let us know what you think.
I was hoping I didn't have to be the guinea pig. 
I haven’t used that one in particular but BOY are they loud. Not only put ear plugs in muffs too.
I’ve been struggling with diagnosing a headlight/taillight problem so I bought a new toy that I hope will help.
I use mine weekly.
Took it on power tour and used it twice on other cars.

I've been watching some YT videos to learn about all the functions, there's some really neat stuff there. I got frustrated with the lights and walked away from it months ago but I'm ready to work on it again and hope this helps track it down.
Purchased a dizzy wrench but didn't work on a 91 TBI 350 in a 72 Blazer. The only thing that worked is a 9/16 crow foot (Napa) with a 6" extension.
The winning combo...
I mentioned these to a friend yesterday, he handed me a Rigid version this morning. Used it on the 16 gauge lean-to braces. Cuts like the fiber style. Did not show any signs of ware after enough cuts to eat up 2 of the other blades. And yes, louder than a concrete saw at full tilt.
I'm still mulling it over. We spent about $120 on cutoff wheels last year.
How much on hearing protection for your crew? You'll need that if you get these cut off wheels
Well we do have muffs and plugs on hand.
If you already budget for that then might be a cost savings.

I didn't pay full price but I bought one of these bad dog cutoff wheels almost a year ago at the Tri 5 Nationals in Bowling Green mostly out of frustration and partly as a birthday gift to myself. That was the week I shattered an abrasive disc and damaged my index finger pretty good. It still has some scar tissue in the knuckle. The guy did a demo with it, it's pretty cool. Drill bits look cool too but I didn't buy those. I've used the disc a little bit but I still find myself going back to cut off wheels. They don't cut as fast as a cut off wheel since they're a little thicker. Something to think about. I should probably use it more so I can give it a fair shake.

Bought myself a metric crescent wrench, I have an SAE on order since they were out.
