What did you buy this week?

[scootr]

Just bought a used motorcycle trailer. Needs a little love but price was right. The paperwork and lights are good.

This Iron and Oak 30 ton log splitter from Home Depot. Should be delivered in a week.

Edit: Requested cancellation of this order; need to do a bit more research.

Went ahead and reordered the 30 ton splitter from Ace HW this time. They had a better deal. Then went to Rural King and picked up 3X 5-gals of CAM2 AW32 hydraulic fluid for the splitter.

Yet another pocket knife. I'm not a collector but more of a gatherer. It's one of those "grass is greener" things. I always have a small flashlight (usually Streamlight Microstream) and a pocket knife. I don't ever refer to them as "EDC", as I consider the acronym to be overused and as irritating as "price point" and spoken by those who want to be cool, hip or whatever term is currently being used.

Gerber Armbar Slim Drive (I didn't pick the name, just the knife).

An IR repeater for my receiver so I can keep the doors closed on the TV stand.
Some brackets to make a tow receiver for my little wonder blower.

I have more knives and flashlights than my wife has shoes which is in the hundreds...but every keyring has a small Victorinox knife with LED light. Victorinox logo is the switch and it's enough light to keep from falling over something or put a key in lock at night.

I got a fork lift attachment for my 3 point so I don’t have to take my snow plow off every time I need to move a ton of compressed wood brick into the house garage.

That’s a nice set up . Makes a nice counterbalance, even appears the forks fold back flat for compactness . Many years ago I worked for a fruit farmer that loaded all his 1 ton tanks of cherries on to flatbed truck with same type of 3pt hitch mast.

That's nifty. Never saw one of those. One of my larger SA knives has a laser pointer. #1 Son gave it to me for being in his wedding party around 23 years ago. Sadly, the laser has outlasted the marriage.

I carry two Victorinox with lights, one has more stuff on it. Then I recently got this USA made Buck knife & a sharpener that really works well, coarse & fine ceramic rods.

Finally found a 2&5/16” ball with a longer-than 2&3/4” shank, rated for more than 20,000lbs. Longer shank was necessary to drop into my tractors towing hitch and still have enough threads for big lock washer & nut. Also has 1” rise to get trailer front end up a little higher.
Now I can tow pretty much any bumper-pull trailer my truck would normally pull.
But it wasn’t cheap.
