hahah... u really need a bigger chainsaw. your chainsaw is so small compared to the large quantity of branches you pruned

should go for 24" or 36" one

very clean and organized. mine is a few l-boxxes and i throw it in whatever i need for the job that day

then there's a few boxes where i take out from the l-boxx what i dun need and chuck it there

LoL... my set of 48 / 36 / 24 / 12" pipe wrenches lie on the floor cos it's too heavy for me to organize

stanley are known for their hand tools, not power tools

their powers tools are re-branded from china manufacturer where they have licensing agreement under Black + Decker & Stanley, of which DeWalt and some other known brands are under it too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Black_%26_Decker

i think ACE power tools also come from the same manufacturer for Stanley powertools

some of DeWalt high end stuff are still made in USA / europe

LoL... i too have prince torch... but i use it to light up cigars.

have to use those special odourless butane gas refill

No. this one. zero impurities. recommended by many cigarist

cant remember how much it was. iinm, it's around rm17. this can is already 4 yrs old. still got 1/4 i think

made in england. LoL. come so far away

my prince lighter / mini burner at the right

thanks for sharing man. you keep finding good deals. like the l-boxx previously

plunge cutter blade made for wood + metal

5 second vs a corroded 8mm bolt nut result in this



i see so many video people cut zinc steel nails easily... this one is badly corroded bolt saja... haiya... i so sad. that blade is brand new. costed me rm60.

i then proceed to buy these



the quality for older stanley hand tools (the left one) is more superior than the newer one (right, with new logo).. the riveter is made in taiwan, the dynagrip is made in china

the cutter blade is ori from bosch. swiss made. some rust and peel off because i've been using it to cut some plastic pipes few days ago before i try it on the metal

LoL... wood + metal. haihs... i rugi rm60 for trying

Irwin tools need to find those old stocks one baru made in germany / taiwan / etc - the newer ones are made in china... haihs

i use some irwin drill bits because they are available in odd sizes (13 mm for example)

now u poison me with that powerslot... haihs... i must go find some irwin liao to cure my sadness

irwin's most famous vise grip pliers are kinda affordable. about rm 50 - 60 for a 7" one from lazada. i might get that one rather than stanley because stanley now only have that sissy rubber coated grip pliers... haihs...

pls share more of your irwin & milwaukee handtools. i am slowly adding hand tools to my arsenal. i buy china ones firrst and see which one i really use. at least i dun mind cheap china hammer. the only risk there is is the broken handle (fiber glass neck). LoL

as for rivets, i buy in boxes of 1000's... usually can last me half year. about 1/10 will go missing due to careless workers. so i buy cheap jaguar fastener brand one. about rm 20+ i think. the normal size 1/8" (3mm) x 1/2" (12mm). too big and it's hard to close the rivets, and repeat that 50 - 100x a day, your hands do get tired.

to me any tool is good as long as it does what it does and survive that job

i always buy cheapest china no names ones unless the more exp ones give me superior performance - eg the riveter & tin snips

anyhow, this is my bulldog after 3 weeks. she's been a good pup. a lot of bruises. very powerful... just one regret... i bought it rm700 too expensive



btw, dun belip that hype over vibration control. it hurts. my right arm is full with salonpas after drilling about 20 holes @ 14mm / 75mm deep.

no point. most of the time, it's not dry dust. that's why you see the dust caked itself on the machine, which is also good since i know it wont get into the motor vents. but it's a bit harsh on the sds bit, so i need to clean them and re-grease them (very hard to find silicone grease)

i deal mostly with wet concrete slab. to repair leaking floor slab. drill holes for injection packers.

the clone batt pack is using what cells? samsung?

rm120 for a OEM 4ah 18v high drain batt pack?

bosch "outlet price" is only rm210 for the same spec

luckily i opted bosch 18v platform

it was on garage sales in LYN. dunno he is doing it now or not

i got my stocks liao. 6x 4.0ah batteries really last me about almost 2 days worth of cutting and drilling.

about 2 hours of non-stop grinding if use all.

i need a few more actually, but i have to restrain myself from buying too many batt packs

they do degrade over time

and owh, did i mention got another 2 x 2.0ah for drill drivers? they are lighter, so i need them for drill / screw duties.

alas... i only have 1 charger

wah... really? nais... i could have used it as an onsite radio. LoL

i still dun understand what's the use of this. please share some pics when you use this tool later.

these two i think i will enjoy using. thought i rarely swing a hammer since i mostly use them to force open something or just to break something and pair it with a chisel to just do about almost anything

the saw is kinda useful when i can't use the multicutter. and for 2" to 3" plumbing works

thanks for sharing

can it cut metal sheets? i need a power tool to replace tin snips, which is kinda tiring to use after a while

I surveyed the hammer is around rm100...

LoL... and to think that i sometimes use a block of wood or spanner as hammer substitute as i always forget where i keep my hammer

i dont think i can afford to pay rm100+ for a hammer yet. maybe the saw. i like the saw
