What did you buy this week?

[grsthegreat]

Ive never seen a rental company keep maint records on older equipment. Usually, i have to give them a call after its broken down and they come out and fix it. Than adjust rental time. I used to rent alot of equipment when i had my company going full time. I rented from 3 different companies, and all the equipment was fairly new, but looked like they were many years older. My tractor still looks brand new. A rental company needs to keep the units rentable, but not necessarily in tip top condition.

I bought a dealer loaner car, a 2025 Chevy Malibu. It had no spare tire and I was told it was an $800 option. So to sweeten the deal they through in a free air compressor, can of sealant and carry bag.

Bought myself a Magnum Research Desert Eagle in 50AE last week, I wanted the gold plated one but the price tag was too much so I settled for a bronze Cerakote model. Almost ordered the 44 magnum but said what the heck and went all out. Cannot be any harder to handle than my Smith 460 XVR.

Nice 5030, I own both of those. I was at the gun shop and he had the .44AE, I commented it was a shame he didn't have the .50. He pulled one out, I bought it.

I like big bore handguns, always have. Lots of people shy away from the Smith 44 magnum, I don't. My late dad gave me his 'Dirty Harry' special and that got me started on the big bores. A non braked 44 is a handful, especially with muzzle climb and you'd better be hanging on tight or you'll imprint your forehead with the front sight.

I have just 2 prerequisites for a big bore handgun, one, it has to be a deer hammer and 2, it has to be manageable to deal with. Never bought a 500 Smith simply because the 460 XVR will outshine it. I handload everything I shoot and I always load them pretty hot as well.

I got a 2-pack of batteries to fit my Dewalt tools. These are 8ah and were 2 for $51. Lowe's had the 5ah with 2 for $315, but it included a charger.

I have several chargers already so I thought I would try these knock-offs.

Amazon.com

Where did you find 2 8ah dewalts for 51 bucks? Hopefully not amazon. Alot of amazon dewalts are fake

I did get them on Amazon, but they are not Dewalt. They look like and fit Dewalt, but definitely are not Dewalt brand. I figured for that cheap, it was worth a chance that they might work for a while. We will see....

I wouldn't leave them on a charger unattended.

Heck, I don't do that with my (real) Milwaukee batteries.

Finally got some pictures.... 6 bolts, two rods, a spacer, some self dissolving suture, 41 staples, a walker (tennis balls on the rear legs, of course), a slide in bathtub shower seat, a toilet seat extender, a bone growth stimulator, and a bunch of comfy sweat pants.
