It's Christmas time, which means...New tools!

I picked up a 18v Dewalt Sawzall & 1/2 Impact Gun, 2 Lithium Ion batteries & 1 nicd, decent set of wrenches metric & standard - standard length & stubby for $350.00 at Lowes..



I also bought myself a 9000lb Bad Land Winch from HF - Going to make some custom bumpers for the truck and toss a receiver on the dolly & trailer. This way I can mount it on a plate with a 2" shank and use it where ever I like. Pull cars up or pull myself out. Paid $237.00 for it with the %25 off coupon and the sale.

Here's some items on my wish list/soon to get list:
Knipex 71 01 200 SBA Mini Bolt Cutter, 8 in - These things are great for snipping brake lines / wires / nails / rivets etc - well worth the $40!


Knipex Cable Shears - Great for copper aluminum wire - easily cut 2 gauge and a couple snips through 0 gauge.


I also want this bad boy here - snap on 36" 1/2 drive breaker bar.

Sometimes its just easier to bust the head off than turn it out.

I also want to pick up a HF 3-ton Aluminum jack - might save my back from my sears 2 ton.. once you start lifting it in and out of a truck on a daily basis you start to notice the guns getting a little beefier, and the back a little more sore than normal =P

I'm not opposed to harbor freight tools - obviously I love the idea of cheap tools that I won't lose sleep over losing.. but I'm starting to find the joy in having nice tools that work great all the time and don't let you down..
