I got a 18 volt Makita string trimmer. My Husqvarna gas is hard to start, I wish I had gotten a Sthil. Anyway, I bought the Makita on Saturday, used a whole battery trimming and it is not too bad. Took some getting use to. Went to use it on Sunday afternoon and it would not work. Returned it today,

This isn't new but I don't like to post tools until they've been run through the mill and proven their worth. About 3 years ago I needed to replace my cordless drill and after a bunch of research I settled on this Teccpo (Amazon). After nearly 3 years I can honestly say I love this thing. It's smaller than the standard cordless but is actually heavier. I just finished redecking the front porch with Trex and used this to drive nearly 500 stainless steel deck screws with just 1 change of battery. I use it for everything from shed roof repairs to tractor fixes.

I got a Milwaukee M18 Surge impact wrench. This is the hydraulic version. I have used it for a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I wish I had gotten a hydraulic impact wrench a lot sooner. So much quieter than a standard unit.

Default new to me tools

Well, I've added two new to me tools in the last month or so. I picked up a Bison FPU high test bench vise. It's made in Poland so the front jaw is fixed and the rear jaw is the one that moves. I like this as it keeps all the work over the bench when working on bigger things. If I have to use a BFH, I move to my post vise and have at it. Then today, I added a 400# manual Hoyer patient lift that will be used as a "Engine Lift". It has over 5' of from the floor, so it will do fine for working on my Cub's . Nice thing about the Hoyer is, there is only one bolt to loosen and it takes down in two parts. It will be great to take to my off site storage unit when I need to load the 16 HP B&S engine into the back of my trunk to bring home.

Now I need to find me a nice bench top Milling machine.

Got a Metabo HPT 12” siding compound miter saw to use for my deck build. Should have bought one years ago. My old 10” single bevel saw is limited with what it can do.

I've had one of these for more than 60 years but when I saw the condition vs the price I grabbed it. How many guys know what it is?

I for one have no clue. I would probably try to pit cherries or core apples
with it.

It cleans the carbon/crud out of ring grooves on pistons.
It has a "turret" with different size scrapers for different size ring grooves.
It beats the shit out using a broken ring stuffed in a file handle, but I've used that method over 60 years.
-----too late to change now, Ha,LOL!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
