Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

Working from home for the past three years It seems like i'm burning through keyboards. Decided to invest in a Logi Mx wireless keyboard. It's not a lightweight for sure!

It's most stand out feature is the butterly soft touch keys - good god it's a joy to use!

I use their entire Ceramic lineup and both my cars surfaces stay slick!

Here's a nice video from a independent detailer:

Hmmm I've been using mothers CMX on my E90.

Still have a bottle of that left. Might try Turtle Wax next

Bought this practice soldering kit. Trying to hone my skills while learning more on diodes, resistors and circuit boards. Took me about 2 1/2 hrs to make but turned out incredible. Was nice to see how fast my soldering improved. Enjoyed it so much I ordered 3 more kits.

My first soldering experience was replacing the LEDs on my cluster with a $6 harbor freight soldering iron. It was a good thing I had extras, melted through probably six diodes by the end of it

This little practice kit sounds like a much better idea lol

I bought this little gem a few days ago after my MB GLK350 started whining at me that the left low-beam lamp was out. I replaced the right low-beam about a year ago, so I figured I had an idea as to what I faced. Well, I was off a bit. With the GLK350, you have to first remove a ~3 inch convex cover, then reach inside the headlight module and RR the lamp by feel - you cannot see anything. Unlike the right low-beam, the left low-beam access is restricted by some plumbing (AC, I think) and some unidentified diaphragm. I managed to squeek my hand into contortions and complete the job after watching some Youtube videos. The back of my left hand was slightly swollen for a couple of days from the abuse, but I probably saved myself several hundred dollars or more by doing the job myself. Maybe a thousand bucks as some folks (shops) remove the entire headlight module package to do the job.

Well done. Some vehicles can be a real PITA to change bulbs. I simply refuse to change the headlight bulbs in my Golf. I tried it once and the only way I could even get near it was to remove the headlight assembly. That meant removing the front bumper. Never again I said. The dealer has some skinny little guy that can do it without removing the whole front of the car and they only charge $50. Money well spent IMO.

Superfast Charger and Cables for Android

Should be replaced every 5-7 years. It’s been 6 years and the maker of the current hoses we have (Floodchek), which carry a 20 year warranty, seems to have gone out of business. Worth spending $30 to replace.

Something Sweet... Literally!

[Our03z4]

Did some shopping online and picked up in store today. DTO had Ryobi recon tools 40% off so I got some things I wanted. Still love my Makita tools the most but they stay on the service trucks, these will be for the house. For $158 I bought 3 batteries, saw, 2 power cleaners, brushes, impact driver, drill and a new charger. Not a bad deal.

This is actually a Buttermilk Pie! Tastes like a cross between a Pancake and Sugar Cookie.

If I wasn't already so heavily invested in Milwaukee 12v line I'd probably buy Ryobi as well to supplement my beefier Makita. Ryobi has a great sweet spot of having a ton of tools at decent quality for cheap.

Although it really is hard to believe the size and power of some of these Milwaukee tools, 250ft lb from these little guys. Also got another impact set on clearance that will stay in my truck and a basic rasp set.

Absolutely love Milwaukee. Also have some of their line but only use it for work. The powered PVC/PEX cutters are insane. Would really like to get the pro press but the price tag is nuts for me to justify it. I have the Ryobi impact and honestly don't like it, would like to upgrade to the Milwaukee. But I much prefer using my electric version that goes to 1,400lbs, gotta watch the wrists with that one lol.

I have the high powered 1/2" Makita impact wrench that puts out right over 1300 ft lbs, but don't need to carry that around all the time (I do carry a breaker bar as it takes up less *******

edit: why is "space )" without the space between it censored?

I've had the 22" Snow Joe for 3 years and it's been pretty solid for our winters (average 80" per year). Auger belt started slipping at the end of last winter if the snow was particularly wet and heavy. Will probably have to replace it the belt this year.
