The old one wasnt that good, not sure how good the new one is, the old one used up a fresh charged 5.0ah battery to make (1) 8oz cup. Technically a single burner propane stove top is cordless...

Got any cool tools lately?

An AeroPress works good. The coffee pouches for the Makita remind me of the hotel room coffee makers.
That's what I do, I have an electric pot and I pour over my ground coffee in a strainer
I've been having a hard time finding a way to drill through an 8 ft 3x3 square tube and get my holes exactly perfect. I had rigged up a deal with my drill press but it was a pain to use and I still was having a hard time getting them perfectly centered and then behold, I found this handy device. For under $10 I highly recommend it. It's for woodworking predominantly but it will work on metal. Also, I couldn't remember if anyone had posted these lock-n-lubes but they are fantastic as well.
I use both of those. Also have their air chuck.

Really liking this air grinder. Didn’t know there was anything better than a grinding disc on a cordless drill until now.
I have 4 die grinders. Each with different attachments. Used frequently.
Kreg stuff rocks for woodworking. Great idea.
My father used to work with the guy who started that Kreg company, we went to his house when I was a kid sometimes, they had a huge high treefort we would play in with his kids. He was a machinist in the prototype shop where he worked. Took his machining knowledge and applied it to woodworking, its not a small company any more, I have one of the pocket hole jigs, good stuff.
For metal, I have a different drill guide, made by Gator tools, works on flat, angle, or tube.

Just bought 3 of these, 1 for me and 2 for gifts.
Tha as seen in TV might have put me off if not for your personal history of the company
I've been on the Kreg Bandwagon for awhile. Before I became consumed by my K5, in the summers I would build and sell furniture. The money went to what I saved up to buy my Blazer and later on what I built went to parts. The first pictures below is of the Rip Cut, another really great Kreg tool and the pocket hold jig everyone has seen. I use the Rip Cut to break down 4x8 plywood sheets I can't fit into my Jeep Renegade. I usually do it in the Lowe's/HD parking lot. The other photos are some build for other people and myself I've done.
I don't have any personal history with Gator tools, but I do have one of their drill guides, works good for stuff I can't put in the mill or drill press. They are made in the USA and a nice piece. I was a little surprised by the as seen on TV bit too. I don't have a mag drill, would be nice, but this piece also fits where a mag drill doesn't.
The personal history was from the founder of the Kreg company that started the pocket hole thing.
Milwaukee 3/8 Impact Socket Set
Just picked up this Milwaukee 3/8 Impact Socket Set on sale at Home Depot for $99. I've been watching the price on these for a while and this is the best Ive seen. It seems to be the best bang for buck in that category. Now I can stop wearing out my chrome sockets on my cordless 3/8 Impact...

I'm not sure if I seen this here, or did actually think of it on my own, but this works awesome.
It's a cheap HF magnet that I just sanded all the paint off of. I've used it welding sheet metal all the way up to 1/4".

I had to buy a cheap harmonic balancer install tool to get the correct threads for the 6.2L diesel crank. It needed M16x1.5.
Added to my Porter Cable collection.
I try not to miss opportunities to buy new tools when (justified) , and I'll be honest, I did hesitate on this one because it was a small trim job in the bathroom. But....i'm glad i did, this made the job sooo much easier and now I have a cool new tool for other projects.
I bought the Craftsman one six or so years ago from Sears before they went under. It's from the c3 lineup they had for forever. One of the best things I ever bought for renovating rooms in our house. You'll end up looking for excuses to use it. I absolutely love mine, but I've had to renovate every room in our house down to the baseboards and hang new doors as well.
