    Old School Cool

    Man, love the galaxy. My mom owned a 1963 Ford Galaxy, was a four door not two door tho. Was a fun car. It sat in the back of the property for many years collecting rust. My Twin and I pulled it to the shop, sanded it down and gave her a new paint job. Wasn't badly done for 15 years old. We...

    Things That Let You Know You're Getting Old

    I know that this is not certain things, but I have increasingly gotten grouchier. My grandkids (or their parents) call me, "Grumps." Seems like everything people does irritates me and I want to just slap the stupid out of the younger generation. Neighbor has goats and chickens, they both seem...

    Power Tools

    Oh, I am pretty sure I will get the better tools when it comes time to mod the jeep. Got a Hilti impact and it has been great. Have used it several times for Shocks and strut changes on the truck and kids' cars. But it is getting old. My Skil tools are strictly wood working purposes. And in...

    Well, if I cared about you, I would have said it differently. But I don't, so I said what I said. 🤣

    Nicely done. Just to be clear, I don't have to justify anything to anyone. I just don't get sucked into brand loyalty, when it comes to tools. It's all preference and what application use that you are needing them for. Hence the reason I have both. It's just like I don't need a worm drive...

    Power Tools

    Yeah, I clearly stated for what I do, but don't let that get in your way of a good argument. Just to slow it down for you, "they are comparable for (the work) I do."

    Power Tools

    Yeah you aren't comprehending what I am saying. Where have I said they are equal? I said for what I do they are comparable. And been saying (without saying it) if you aren't using them everyday or even every other day Skil will get you by. Hell if you could comprehend what I have been...

    Power Tools

    Like I said, I own both. I couldn't careless what some marketing scheme says. I use both platforms to this day in my wood shop. And they are pretty comparable for what I do with them. That said, would I use the Skil if I was a professional construction worker or mechanic and had to every day...

    Just as Skil. Yes Chevron (HK) bought the brand from Bosch, but it is made in various nations as well. But when you really strip it all down, My pwrcore20 Skil is comparable to the M18 that I also own. Just saying for what I do, they work and get the job done, for a moderate price tag.

    Not the experience I have with them. And Vevor is trash. LOL I am not doing mechanic work with the tools, wood working. Also, you would be surprised to know where your Milwaukee tools were likely made.

    Power Tools

    I know this won't be a popular choice, but I have had Milwaukee tools and have absolutely loved them. But since I have gotten further into my wood working, I have pretty much switched my power tools to Skil. Not the cheap ones you get at department stores. They been very good tools and I...

    Same here in Oklahoma. But When I visit SE Georgia (Aunt's house) in the middle of summer, I wish I was in Arizona during that time. LOL Last year, we had a 45 day span of 95-100 heat with 65-70% relative humidity. You couldn't walk outside without getting your breath knocked out of you. And...

    But it's hot. Doesn't matter if it is lower humidity. The only benefit is sweat doesn't pour out as soon as you open the door. Takes a few steps out the door for that. 😂

    Oh yeah I know. Lived it in my youth. Definitely hotter than here. But I'd rather have that heat than the heat and humidity.

    Trying to talk wife into...

    I live in Oklahoma. We may not get the extreme heat as the high desert. But 95 here feels like 105. And we will see 30+ days over 100 with the humidity over 30%. If that is what you are referring to when you say "devil's anus." 😂
