Sitting here enjoying the snow in the DC area. While the accumulation so far is miniscule compared to that usually encountered further north, I’m comforted to know that in a pinch I can keep my phone and tablets charged with DeWalt, Ridgid, or M12 batteries, power small items with the DeWalt power station, generate some heat with the Ridgid forced air heater, run the ToughSystem radio for entertainment, light up the house with the various DeWalt and Milwaukee lights, and warm up with the M12 heated gear if needed. I don’t expect a power outage–or even missed time at work–but days like this it’s nice to know I have a few day’s worth of backup energy for such conveniences.
Does anyone else find confort knowing that being a “tool guy” makes you just a little better prepared for a short duration emergency?
I usually bring cordless stuff on trips like my inflator, heated jacket (during cold months), and impact. Just incase of breakdown.
