    Cute kids. Let me tell you something about kids. It seems like just a few months ago that my 3-year-old daughter took the van out of park and it rolled into the neighbor's fence. Then, BOOM! Now, she's 50 years old, and I have great-grandkids! It happened in a flash! Enjoy them and protect them. Good times!

    For those of us with DeWalt 20V tools. . . the Bauer 20V tools work just fine with DeWalt batteries. It just requires a minor modification to the tool, which is to snip off two plastic tabs where the battery slides in.

    I use the magnetic tool holder in almost every drawer of my toolboxes. All you have to do is lay them in the drawer and the weight of the tools holds them down. I use it for screwdrivers, wrenches, ratchets, extensions, pliers and anything else that'll stick. ;-)

    For some odd reason, Harbor Freight carries a blood pressure cuff for about 15 bucks! Anything similar at a pharmacy starts around $30. They work just fine, and like everything else, if it stops working, they will replace it. Not a tool, exactly, but real handy to have

    I have been pleasantly pleased with some things I got from Harbor Freight.
    Two that quickly come to mind are both corded tools. One is a variable speed multi-tool and the other is an angle grinder.
    For occasional use, both are available in entry level offerings at less than $20!

    So harbor freight stepped up there game I feel. Hercules is definitely a competitor to some big names. Recently I watched a review of Hercules 12” compound miter vs Dewalts. And well for the price it may be actually worth it. Yes some things are good and others I are one time use. Just depends on your preference!

    Lots of good recommendations in this video. Permit me one quibble. Instead of the 500lbs lift cart, get the 1,000lbs version. Not only does it lift more weight, it lifts higher, and the handle folds down for storage. Mine lifts high enough to serve as an outfeed table for my table saw or as an extension of my work bench. It also lifts to the height of my pickup truck's bed, which makes it almost as good as a lift gate. (Pickup truck bed heights vary, so YMMV.) For just a few dollars more, I consider the 1,000lbs lift cart to be a better value than its little brother.

    • @TheReformationWoodshop

    Your Makita leaf blower sounds like it has a capacitor issue. The 3 min wait time before being able to start the motor would be the capacitor charging slower than it should until it can dump all of its energy on starting the motor.
