What did you buy this week?

[paulsharvey]

Stopped at Walmart and picked up a $19.99 fishing pole. I swear we have 13 poles on the porch, but 10 of the 13 a tip broken off, a reel that is acting up, ect. Dont get me wrong, nicer poles and reels are nice; but the old Ugly Stiks were great. Looks like Wlamrt swapped from Ugly to their in-house Ozark Trail, so don't know what to expect.

A hedge trimmer attachment for the string trimmer.
Some drip irrigation emitters and couplers.
A drip irrigation fertilizer Venturi.
A pool pump timer.

All arrived and use/installed.
Hedge trimmer keeps me off the ladder.
Dripper parts are installed and watering flowers and veggies.
Used the fertilizer Venturi today on the drip system. No more watering cans. Yay!
Installed the new pool pump timer. Sweet.

A few things Spicer U joint, an SKF unit bearing, and a stainless turbo back exhaust system for the 3500 Ram.

As soon as Harbor Freight gets in the battery and charger Going to get that Hercules 20volt grease gun.

 

[Too many Kubotas]

A car, tires for it, and a set of of trailer tires.

Feels like I've bought at least 20 tires this year, so far.

Yesterday evening I threatened to buy a Harbor Freight winch, as me and son were ratchet strap pulling his project car onto a trailer, about 8 inches at a time....

Although I told him, every time you find a project, I end up being the one tired and sweaty; I think maybe he learned a lesson on this one, before he got too far into it. It was $400; and it should scrap for $490; although he's spend about $200 on parts; and probably got 30 hours into it;

Yrs back I was going through a stretch of flat tires on the ranch... Seemed every time I turned around there was another tire repair. Then I looked around and counted 32 air tires on the place - that explained it

Go get it. I had to pull my Mule onto the trailer by hand with a come-along. The trailer now has a 12,000 Warn winch and battery on it. Stuff like that is getting tougher in my old age.

I put one of their 3500 pound winches onto my UTV. It seems well made. Pretty useful for pulling down blown down trees.

They run sales on their winches or 20% coupons all the time.

 

[kenmbz]

Resin epoxy for an Ash wood slab table I am making.

 

[drumminj]

Ordered some socket and wrench organizers from Tekton.

Not cheap, but looking forward to having all my sockets standardized in trays rather than some in the plastic Craftsman case they originally came in 20+ years ago, some in the tool chest, etc. One day I'd love to just buy all new, quality, but man good tools are expensive!

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

5/8" bolt for trail mower axle.

 

[Complete Turf Care]

2024 Ram 3500 with the high output 6.7l engine, heavy duty transmission and 4.10 rear axle.

 

[garry1p]

Piranha Toothbar

I hope it works as well as the reviews say it will, I have a lot of underbrush to clean out.

I picked up onenof these for like $8 on sale; looks like current price is $11. That's not bad, until you get 1/4 SAE, 1/4 Metric, 3/8 SAE, 3/8 Metric, 1/2 SAE, 1/2 Metric; and then all the same again foe your deep wells; all the sudden, you have $120 in just socket organizers; and you still have your odd balls/duplicates/ect rattling around... But I do like it

Yeah, I spent $110 on organizers for exactly those reasons.

I have one and love it. The base here has diabase rock, soft iron rock.
With the cutting edge of the bucket, will stop the tractor.
With the Piranha tb, it cuts right through.
Spend more time now moving dirt and less fighting to cut through it.

 

[JethroB]

A slab of concrete. New carport coming soon

 

[ArlyA]

155 string. Kinda boring compared to what you guys are buying.

 

[319Quahog]

That's beefy string.

 

[ArlyA]

That's beefy string.

We go through a roll over 3 or so years. It seriously cuts weeds n shoots.
