Tools & equipment that are fantastic.

I have used the lift function a lot.

Here is one picture with the crane scale:

I thought you were going to say that you bought the company!

They are both Chinese now so brand loyalty is kind of absurd.

But they are assembled in the US lol

I really like my Astro Tools 52SL rechargeable work light. It has a wand with three different LED lights on it, a single LED on the end, like a flashlight, and cob LEDs on each face that can be turned on singly or all at once. Charges via type C USB cable or wireless charger. I have yet to use it long enough to run it out of juice.

I just got a Bob’s CNC machine with rail extension for $800. A CNC machine with a quality router motor is priceless. Short of shelling out $5,000 plus for a 60w CO2 laser cutter or a SUPER EXPENSIVE water jet, nothing beats a plain ole CNC machine.

One exception to my above statement. I have a plasma cutting CNC machine that is AMAZING and about the same price as a regular quality CNC if you already own a plasma cutter.

I have that beat!
My John Deere CX-15 is made in China, assembled in Mexico and owned by an American company!

Another something simple (& cheap) that I find very handy. A great addition to the Zip tie, duct tape & haywire arsenal. Florist or gardening tie wire. Similar to bread bag tie wire.

Nice dispenser, Jethro! I also keep this type of wire around for tying up everything from Christmas lights to computer cables, but I always have to carry wire cutters with my spool. I'll need to look for a dispenser like this, next time I'm buying.
