I got the rigid one and same thing, I love it
Finally jumped on the fireball tools adjustable clamping square and the three axis square. Got a 2x2 square tubing job that these are really gonna help out on.
Fireball makes so much cool stuff I just can't justify any of it enough to pull the trigger. Like this vise for example... I don't need it and would never use it in the capacity it's designed for, but my goodness I hope Santa puts it under the tree.

6.5" - Hardtail High Pressure Vise
US Made Total Cost: $3,800 shipping included to contiguous US Taiwan Made Total Cost: $1,800 shipping included to contiguous US We set out to create the best heavy duty vise on the market and along the way we had a couple decisions to make on where and how to manufacture this vise. This vise has...

yeah $1800.00 for cast iron investments and a few machined parts. Not even cast in America is cast in twain. I have a hard time justifying 300-400 on an American made Wilton or the like. I have had the use of many Wilton vises during my career, I know they good quality and can handle some abuse.
That and a 1/4" drill were my main power tools in the bulk of my aircraft career.Really liking this air grinder. Didn’t know there was anything better than a grinding disc on a cordless drill until now.

My wife is making me build two floating shelves for our living room. I bought a pair of shepherd's brackets off of Amazon. It came with a drill guide but I had to have a large auger bit. Unfortunately, all of the auger bits of this size are 7/16 shank, which I don't have any drills/drivers that will fit that. Got to doing some digging on Amazon and found this adapter. Price wise not too bad. Also, here's a discount for Kreg tools.
Too good of a deal. Bought two of these to have a 5x10 table.

BKOR Fab Table 5' x 5'
Our fabrication and welding tables are too good not to share. With the perfect table top needed (5'X5'), you can save room in the shop, and have plenty of space to fabricate without feeling like you are out of space. From axle builds to tedious tig welding jobs, these tables come in clutch...

A Global West bushing tool for A&G body GM rear axles
Didn't know global west was making tools. Bought a pair of their A-arms for my old 67 firebird.. They were pretty fantastic.
Time saver three axis clamp saving the day.
Looks like they have a few bushing tools.
Picked this old Craftsman block plane up for $26 at an antique store today. Did a little research and it looks to have been made in 1934!
Sharpened it a little and was cutting ribbons. Gotta clean it up some and really sharpen it but it's in amazing shape.

Forgot, I got me a Milwaukee 12v 3/8 ratchet. Been kinda lusting for one. A lot quieter than I thought.
I like the Milwaukee non fuel 3/8 ratchet. It is not super strong to torque down but it drives well. It forces you to tighten the bolt yourself.

It's supposed to cinch down then you torque.
Rigid just came up with the ratchet, I am waiting for the price to go down a bit
