Now that I'm helping design and fine tune the World's Greatest Carpet Cleaning Glides, THIS was a must.

Most cleaners wouldn’t need calipers. We have several in our shop for dado stacks and making sure we have right fits.

since we started all OP I’d say a TM

Poor Olsen

We're getting along famously.

Are you sour that I didn't pick you to be my partner, Marty?


Erik finally got over it.......

Lockhart? I haven't heard from him in months.

 

[FB19087]

I love how in the reviews people are using a $20 caliper to calibrate other devices...

That pos is dead to me.

What about the poor guy who spent 3 mos reviewing it before buying it’s only $20

 

[Fat Mike]

If I could have any tool would be a shpsabre Cnc but all I want on it is 60k

Did he by a glide from Joe?

I inherited my Dad's dial caliper set, he was a tool and die maker / machinist. With 4 sons and a bunch of grandsons we all are happy to have a little piece of the work he loved.

I wish I weren't so smart at 17, so I would have tried to learn some of his skills.

I bought an oscillating multi tool to replace a rotted door jamb. Worked pretty good for cheap tool. I gave it to my son Inlaw, he is always working on something and has a better chance of using it again than me. He also got a 3-jaw puller I used in the Summer too.

I was skeptical but finally bought one last year. Useful little tool

I was also but it worked where other tools couldn't have on the jamb.

We use ours a lot I own several. I waited a long time before getting one also. Awesome for flooring installation for use as an undercut saw. Much more cost affective then a powered undercut saw.

My dads great builder but he’s never liked finish work he can do it but it’s not his specialty. But I’ve got a cabinet maker working for me with probably 50yrs experience he’s super excited to pass his knowledge and I’m super excited to learn from him. He’s also expert with furniture so looking forward to gleaning as much as I can.

I’m thankful at 72 he’s still in great health.
Met with a granite guy today with at least 20yrs experience that’ll be coming by on board also.

Woohoo more tools

 

[Old Coastie]

The multitool is invaluable in stone and tile work, too.

All good watch aficionados already own one.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Well than, you might want to pick one up someday.

Wow. I have the same perspective. I was soooo smart at 17!

Funny how these topics go off the rails...

I waited too long to buy a SS12.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I waited too long for too many tools of our trade.

Gas TM
Turbo hybrid
CRB
Dev 14

I also bought a few duds...

 

[Meter Maid]

Did Mikey do his Trinity commercial yet?

 

[BIG WOOD]

I waited too long (15years) to quit pulling my trailer to buy a box truck.

I waited 14years to get an electric vac hose reel.

I waited 15years to get scheduling software.

My 3 " I waiteds" that I regret waiting so long for

 

[Jimmy L]

Don't wait that long to add a onboard toilet either.

Get a backup camera next

I hate those things

You hate good visibility?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yea but for liability reasons you should get one.

Hit a car, run over a kid, a lawyer is going claim negligence saying for a couple hundred dollars the accident could have been prevented. Shit happens and it would be an ugly incident that might have been prevented.
