Archived from the Tools In Action forum (Introduce yourself). This thread is read-only.
Hello all, and thanks for letting me be a part of what looks to be an awesome forum. I look forward to gaining vast amounts of tool knowledge from members and who knows maybe I can share a little myself. Anyway I’ve been working in the building trades for 17 years and have ventured out into being in business for myself about a year ago, but tools have long been my passion and I take great pride in my work as well as my tools and i finally have a place to talk with like minded people and show off my tools and how my truck is setup.
welcome to the forum bro…..
Thank you. I figured id post a few pics of my setup but could only get one to load of the 20 i tried 
nice set up, have you ever considered that tool company….um what’s it called?…..oh ya Milwaukee!….
That thing is a work of art.
Thank you, the thing is im brand loyal. Ill probably drive a ford truck for the rest of my life and i just ran with the m12/m18 lineup mostly because Milwaukee invented the sawzall but the more tools i bought and the more homework i did the more i liked them. I haven’t been let down yet.

Lol Tony!
What’s up welcome aboard!!
That is sick!! The organization is quite different than I’ve seen with them on the door like that, I myself prefer my rolling jobsite box so I don’t have to bring in individual tools. Oh and you want to see a guy with a Milwaukee problem look no further than yours truly lol!!!
Welcome to the forum Walt!!
Thank you all for the hospitality,
I feel at home already.

I definitely don’t have a problem with yellow tools, as a matter of fact I own some serious gear that happens to be yellow but as you can see dewilt is just now getting they’re act together as far as a cordless lineup goes. (What a lineup it is?) my jaw hit the floor when i saw the display at home depot, and then again when I saw the prices…

Im hoping to start a support group for guy’s with the “problem ” we have, but everyone i ask to join is to busy drooling over the cordless lineup pamphlet that comes in the packaging of a new tool,to be bothered with anything else…???
Hi my name is walt and im addicted to Milwaukee tolls….
Oh hell no !!!!!
that truck looks great !!!!!!
welcome to the crew !!!
Holy shit Walt, that looks awesome. Kinda looks like the Milwaukee display at the Depot. Welcome to the Crew man… What building trades were you involved in?
I got my start doing concrete and masonry work and that grew into exterior contracting but every winter i would be doing more and more interior work ( finishing basements, additions, kitchens and baths) but always working for someone who didn’t appreciate me or what I brought to the table. Ive always had my own truck and tools and took pride in what I do. So finally i had enough and about a year ago maybe a little more i linked up with a realtor who backed me with a house and a budget, i did everything myself except for the electrical, and HVAC and i hit a home run. The house sold before it even went on the market for full asking price of 345k ,and so did the next one for 380. Im finishing up a 3rd house as we speak and i couldn’t be happier with what I do each and every day plus the major perk of it all is my collection of tools that is ever expanding!
Also have to note im not a Milwaukee snob that only uses red tools, that’s just my cordless lineup, but in the rest of the truck and the shop i have a lot of porter cable and some choice bosch tools, one or 2 rigid and even a few ryobi (no shame in my game) oh yeah and a lot of snapon to keep the trucks on the road as i do all my own service work and repairs along with a long list of custom work to make them what I need them to be. built not bought…
Welcome to the crew bro glad to have you here!

Awesome.
I have a few ryobi, becasue no one else makes them.
Cordless power inflator and also plug in/battery powered LED lights that are cheap and can pop on a 2x stud or joist
The funny thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that the same company that makes Milwaukee also makes rigid and ryobi.
