    I'd say Milwaukee.Because when dirty they have a certain look.
    I think they call it Patina.Like classic old cars.
    Dewalt look funky new and kinda crappy when dirty.
    Too Bright a yellow.

    It changes hands from time to time but right now Milwaukee has the market cornered.

    I'm sure it must be time to give Foolie an update.

    I'm about halfway done digging down the new area.

    20190911_112446.jpg

    Then I'll scratch around and dig up all the roots still left.

    20190911_112530.jpg

    I want to raise the level by a couple of inches, so I'll mix in some more dirt, with this pile, before shoveling it back in.

    Why Not The Dave Clark Five.
    As in ... Bits and pieces.
    I and my neighbor buddy who both played Guitar
    and had Hi-fi equipment later as Teens had a Music Mindset.
    We were Dave Clark Five Fans back when the Beatles were
    all the rave.We both liked the Beatles but thought the Dave
    Clark Five were heads and heels a better sounding group.

    Have been thinking about Feng shui and I think I got it.... It means the proper object in the proper place... Everything must look like it belongs.

    I know this.... I bought an 18 amp set of cordless Dewalt tools one year . Haven't seen any more since... Nuthin. I get Ryobi 18 volt... All their batteries fit every 18 volt tool they ever made. Got several Ryobi tools at thrift store prices.... Old and new.... They work.

    I'll find the guys channel.He Restores old items to better than new
    condition.I saw him repair a broken Bench Vice that was almost
    100 years old.Had it looking great.Then a Very rusty grinder
    from like the 1918 er somthin.He has all the tools and experience
    necessary.That's what it takes.Not just some cloth rags WD-40 and
    a little sanding.Then can of spray paint.
    It requires a complete breakdown IF a Restoration.
    Do Not confuse a Restoration with a Recovery or Repair.
    Do Not confuse a Foolardi Post with other posts.
    These are givens.

    * That bench vice was in the garbage.He recovered it.
    - Mustie1 - just finished a John Deere Lawn tractor he was
    given for free.It took his usual high degree of mechanical and
    engine expertise to get working and looking as good as new.
    YouTube is exceptional as a place to go and find How To.
    Practically anything.- Mustie1 - latest { couple a days ago }
    was a little Off Road trail vehicle { 50cc } with a crooked rear
    axle and engine that wasn't turning over.He had it back to new
    in less than 2 hrs. YouTube time.
    That Trail vehicle he got at a yard sale for 40 bucks.As he
    finished the rebuild he admitted he spent more on the Battery { $ 48 }
    than on the vehicle itself.Batteries for older stuff runs high.
    Especially if 6 volt.Or for little sport vehicles where dimensions
    are critical.A Battery carriage { where it sits } is often not
    interchangeable.

    It had breadbasket on the tag but both pieces looked as though they were in storage. I see this style.... Both pieces... Now and then. They are good cabinets with a good sound when the doors shut. We also have a potato box.... Ya store taters in the top and onions on the bottom. I tend to feel.... it really means nothing.... that these pieces were built with pride in America . As long as I can find them cheap enough I will continue to purchase.

    After seeing that Video { a couple weeks ago } I decided to
    Buy a nice solid bench Vice.I grew up with a Dad who had
    a nice bench and tools and air compressor and stuff like
    grinder.A really big fat Bench vice.
    I bought a Harbor Freight bench vice with the anvil.
    I have a solid old bench in my garage but I don't keep it
    clean or organized.That bench Vice was like $ 52 .I could have gone
    bigger and heavier but what the heck.
    I had something stolen out of my garage a couple years ago.
    My Air Compressor.It was not a Big compressor but it was heavy
    and very good quality.I still can't get over how it got stolen.
    I like keeping my Garage open.

    Ya but he would have paid 48.00 for the battery even if he would have spent 300.00 on the vehicle. I envy guys like that... Guys that know.
