What did you buy this week?

Returning some unused materials from recent project bought and finally replaced my older circular saw blades after I saw a pretty good deal on a set. Shiny new 24 tooth carbide tipped has always worked good for me anyway. Also replaced my masking tape mag blade guard repair with gorilla tape I also bought so it's good as new, right?

Pictures or it didn't happen

Another M18 battery, forge this time.
While it will last the same amount of time, it certainly puts out more of the power, can actually feel the difference in my weed wacker.

Bought a New Caulk gun although my wife won't let me use adhesives and sealants with it in her presence she does a pretty good job though this is due to messes I make despite me constantly telling myself less is more no idea what eventually happens

Got this generator a few weeks ago and put it to work powering two 1500 watt heat guns. So far, I really like it and its setup is better designed than the 2000I version we've owned for years. 3000 watts draw was no big deal.

Bought a cheap blank 1/4" thick qa plate for my tiny tractor up north also bought a cheap adjustable Chinese 60- 72" utv snow plow still in shipping. Plan is to cut plow arms weld with gussets and braces to new qa plate plus weld pipe to cutting edge on plow and use it for a snow plow up north with my tiny tractor at my cabin. I was blown away how much cheaper it was to build my own qa plow than buy an actual subcompact plow. Despite my apprehension of sacrificing a cheap brand new Chinese made plow I'm expecting much better results than my underpowered self contained ATV snow blower. Might start a thread on that project if there's interest.

Bought a well pump, motor, and 400' 3/10 cased wire with a ground.

We found aftermarket battery's to be of less quality than the originals for our 18volt makita tools.. Seemed like less amp hours as marked but we still use them since they run 1/3 the price.

Drip irrigation arrived today, for a small test plot of approx 200 evergreens. To combat new tree die off. Before I plant this fall, Most likely caused by lack of water. I shall see. Looking forward to learning something new. Insight and Tips by experienced irrigation folks is appreciated.

With as dry as it's been all newly planted items are at risk. This spring into early summer we had a ton of rain so everything was green and good. Now, burned up plants everywhere and I too put in drip irrigation but was too late on some of my planted items and are dead as nails.
