Got any cool tools lately?

Closest I find is frozen cat turds and the occasional potted plant, but I did uncover a tarp, a broom, a sled and a shovel in the last week
. Oh, and that rock that probably messed up the chain to begin with. It's good to count heads from time to time and make sure none of the kids are buried. My son jumped off the upper deck a few days ago and sank up to his chest, but he was able to climb out OK.
My Dewalt 1/2 drive impact showed up today. 
I think I've used that one. Looks like a baby, but twists everything off

I got a crank pin tool kit, the bit snapped just scratching the surface.
I picked up a bench top drill press, a little holder thing for gloves and a few paint guns in hopes of painting the Blazer in ‘25.
Horrible Freight had the paint guns on sale for 50% off so for $15 ea I figured they’re disposable per coat. lol

I bought this...
And with a lot of blasting, painting, and refinishing, new cables and hoses, turned it into this...

At the same time it snowballed and I moved a 40 ft long wall over 16 ft and remodeled part of my shop to expand the insulated/heated section and steal from my cold storage.
Went from this...
To this...(that wall through the door above used to be where the fire extinguisher is below)
During my construction...I reused all the doors, and built a couple new walls.

Still continuing to get my shop equipped. Found out rather quickly that what was barely adequate in a small basement work area isn't cutting it in a much larger shop. The crane made getting it out of the truck so much easier than muscling it down.

nice choice .... but little boy size .... i have 2 and bigger . . glad tho as 1 dropped the starter switch and #2 was able to pick up the slack of #1 being don .
For me this is a big upgrade. I have been using a 30 gallon homeowner type compressor for years. I'm just happy that I'll be able to use an air tool for more than a minute or so before the pressure drops too low to effectively use it and then wait a few more to get back up to full pressure.
Nice. A lot of lighting is mandatory.
Everyone with a shop bigger than 2 cars, should own a forklift.
I have all the makings of a NICE 65 gallon compressor at my shop. New tank, rebuilt compressor,etc.
But I use very few air tools anymore.
Cordless took over all but a few basic things so I never really think of the compressor.
All I really need it for is pumping tires, painting occasionally, and an occasional die grinder.
I have the skidloader with forks.
Not as maneuverable, but does the job lol.
I think I've used the forks more than either bucket.
i ordered this filter box today as my current std unit burned out another motor . huge upgrade over the small little unit . this one is rated to run all day .
It looks like that is that rated for metal abrasive dust?
Goes on the blast cabinet for dust collection . The filters can be washed out and reused . Has a shaker inside to knock off the filters as needed . Does 300-350 cfm .

I finally broke down and got this because I have a few bad cables in my freightliner with 4 batteries and 2/0 gauge

I use mine frequently. I also use it for the aluminum compression clamps on wire cable. Has its limits on those.
