This thread is a continuation of the original TBA Meeting.All right, we've talked about it long enough so I think it's time we organized ourselves and held a virtual meeting. Here's what I'm proposing; at the end of each week we come to this thread and confess our "sins" for the week. We are a sick lot us "tool buyers" and I think it will help knowing that we aren't alone and there are others like us out there! I'll go first...
Hello, my name is Terry and it's been 12 hours since I bought my last tool. This past week I purchased a used 1/2" Dewalt hammer drill for $55 (it's used so I don't think it should count!) and new tool belt (I really needed it and it was one with the built in back support so I don't think that should count either since it should really be classed as a medical purchase).
Whew, that feels better getting that off my chest. I'll just sit down now and turn the podium over to...
I have a few 9ah batteries, how do they act up?Milwaukee 18V 12amp batteries used to be $200. Now I see 8am for $200 and 12 amp for $250.
Also, our 12amp may be acting up like the 9amps did...so we're keeping an eye on them.
We're slowly cycling our 9amps out for 8amp. ...which may literally take months.

Odd note. My tool rep said for every Milwaukee battery he has in for repair, he's getting 40-50 Dewalt! Huh? Double take on that one.

Dipped into the First Communion money and paid up for the Honda gx motor with the triplex pump. Was on sale at Tractor Supply couple months ago for $50 off. View attachment 518259
Nope, I’ll try the bearing and chain store tomorrow. Is the consistency of the skil oil like that of differential oil or thinner?You got a White Cap or HD Supply near you? They usually have the oil.
