So…you just toss out challenges willy-nilly, or was this one thought out? You guys might get lucky and I won’t post any photos. I’m tired and lazy and don’t want to drag any tools out for photo ops.
Of course, then again, I may very well decide to shoot some photos for this thread. I wouldn’t want you guys to think I was slipping in my old age…
Yup, challenges have been thrown! Wouldn’t mind seeing some Milwaukee pics Comp! 😉
a couple older shots the family has grown a bit since but I’m in the middle of a few jobs so shop is not photo shoot ready….
Beautiful! What’s up KnarlyCarl, you going to take that without posting?! You too Jimbo!?
Yup, I’m calling all of you out. The Summer has seen a bit of a slow down of forum activity, let’s jump start it back up! Let’s see those Ryobi, Ridgid, Snap On, HF, who cares what brand, let’s show off!

Well I’ll spare you the pics that make a footage from a GoPro duct taped to Michael J Fox’s wrist while he’s running down a boat going over Niagara falls look steady.

Yeah good call, maybe grab a steady device meant for Parkinson patients and strap your camera on

That’s a killer set! How are those handles? I’ve imagined the black portion is hard plastic and the colored portion is similar to Wera’s thin rubber.
That Proto stuff is great!

Doh, that’s what I meant, this is why you shouldn’t post at 2-3am while watching youtube videos.
I’ll check when I get back from the ole five to nine.

Yep. I have this problem where I buy nice and cheap versions of the same tools. In an Ideal world I would use my good tools for work where they would be best utilized. In our cluster**** of a world though The cheap tools go to work with me where they are used and abused while the good ones stay behind for occasional use because I know that the knuckleheads and/or the environments I work in would lose them forever. So I haven’t really had the time to use them to be able to say anything other than they sure are pretty.
Btw, the black and colory parts are equally hard, the black is just slightly grippy, almost like hard rubber.

Same here. If I’m going to be working in a messy environment(like an engine compartment) I’m not using my Fluke 87V DMMs, I’m using the 115 or 87III. At work I have three regular screwdriver sets, one is HF, those are the ones other people are allowed to touch. I also have extra cutters and pliers for that reason. Too often I see screwdrivers used as hammers or pry tools, you’re not touching my good European screwdrivers. I HATE bent screwdrivers almost as much as I hate stripped screws.
So I just noticed my instagram links say “Forbidden” If anyone was wondering..
..
What the duece…?
Anyways, I guess this whole forum is going down the drain, if Tapatalk doesn’t work, and now links wont show up…
