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.

^It's funny how one of my rigs is full of RGB (Corsair case came with the RGB fans) then the GPU, CPU cooler, etc and 99% of the time I have everything turned off

Hey, at least the prices of RAM have come down a bit.

More house projects, plan to post up some pictures soon. Wife running me around ragged lol, having fun though. Went with the Metabo for the lifetime tool warranty, little more pricey, but that's worth it in my opinion.

What size is that one? I have a gas grill but just got rid of a second one (19 year old Weber) and been thinking about a Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe to diversify grilling options.

It is the classic II, same size as the large big green egg with an 18 inch grill. More expensive but better rated by consumer reports, liked the lid mechanism better than the bge and it comes with many accessories that don’t come with the bge.

Edit: Been using gas for years and with the new house and the storage space for both I want to get back cooking with charcoal. At some point will even try my hand at smoking!
