So, I sit here surrounded by tools, with drills and saws from the likes of DeWalt, Ridgid, and Milwaukee, and niche tools and equipment from Ryobi and Ego.
I’m in a field-like environment during the work day, so I just purchased the DeWalt radiant heater to complement the Ridgid jet heater, while a couple of the Ridgid fans and my portable power station sit in my room at Fort AP Hill.
With the tax return I’m sorely tempted to pick up a couple of the Ridgid 9.0 batteries (for the heater and air compressor), and to look into four 12.0 Flexvolt batteries for the power station, despite having numerous batteries in both ecosystems (up to 4.0Ah in Ridgid and 9.0Ah in DeWalt, not to mention a couple of 9.0Ah M18 batteries for the Fuel tools and lights).
I doubt I’ll buy these large capacity batteries as there are more pressing priorities, but it’s a pain being enticed by the latest and greatest batteries to ensure maximum personal convenience. At the same time, this is a great age to live in for those who actually make money using their tools (as I once did and may be doing so again in under three years).
Hope everyone is doing great, it’s almost time to kick off Expert Infantryman Badge testing!
I feel your pain, I have so many tools now it’s not funny. Just ordered the new flexvolt dust extractor and pre-ordered the router. Tax refund was really good for me this year ended up with a couple thousand more than normal. So I got my self a new gaming laptop and a couple tools threw some cash in the lazy wife’s account put a couple thousand in savings and now I am thinking I really want the DeWalt 20v finish nailer lol
