These breakaway screws are perfect to keep in your work vehicle

Great for cabinets and closet doors like this

Just a quick snip with the side cutter and it’s good to go

This newest Makita 18v impact has 4 settings, I usually leave it on high and feather the trigger but it’s nice to have the option

Do your tools go away clean or dirty?
MDF dust is the absolute worst, just as bad as drywall dust. Once it’s in the truck it’s a pain

This little Makita 40v XGT blower won’t replace a big leaf blower but for smaller stuff like this it’s perfect!

Last year announced a new load lifter air spring kit for the Raptor

The Raptor is an amazing truck but the suspension is soft which is needs to be but the rear sags with stuff in the box or a trailer attached

Airlift has come up with a cradle that’s separate from the bag so the suspension still has full extension

These have up to 5000 lbs of load leveling capacity and can be inflated up to 100 psi

Quick install with the mega mod set that has everything you need

And yes everything was torqued and each bag had its own valve

I use this Makita 40v inflator to fill and deflate the bags

Do you use CA glue?
It’s so good for preassembling corners like this

It has an adhesive and an accelerator.
It’s like 10 seconds for it to hold pieces together

Used the New Bosch 18v Brad nailer to fasten all the trims on this basement. One 4ah battery easily did a couple days worth of trim

The Milwaukee MX Fuel Gen 2 power cutter

This was my first time running it, as good as the Gen 1 was the Gen 2 is more powerful and smoother. I also saw what seemed to be a much longer runtime and no battery overheating with the New Forge battery

Even with the water turned on the saw won’t let water run through till the blade is spinning, I’m a fan of that feature.

This Festool Exo suit doesn’t make you stronger but it sure can help you work longer and creates far less stress on you body

We’ve used it for doing ceiling work, especially sanding the ceilings with the Planex

It is a bit bulky and that compressor is a bit annoying but having shoulders not ache the next morning is well worth it

Have you got to try one of these?

Even if the Makita wasn’t faster I’d still choose it because it has less vibration.

If you have used a reciprocating saw for a long period of time you know how hard it can be on your hand/arm

Check out this 1000 series mower

It has a 22” composite deck that has a 10 year warranty. It lightens up the mower more for maneuverability

It’s self propelled and has 3 cutting speeds as well as lights on the front.
Multi-Blade Cutting System has an upper blade and interchangeable lower blades to customize your cut

You can fold it up and store it up against a wall in your garage or shed to save space

With two batteries installed it puts out 10.6 ft pounds of torque with a blade speed of 3200 rpm. Much more powerful and faster than gas.

Make it your own!

I like everything to have its place, I’ve been holding off to long on building this.

I’ve added the and the CargoGlide this year to my truck which has been a great addition

Now I’m started to fine tune this setup with some shelving and a bunch of other stuff that’s on the way

I’m building it all around the Makita MAKTRAK storage system

Nice to also have a way to store the Crescent site runner too

Sound Up!!!! 🔊
The New Makita 18v Impact is smaller, faster but louder than the Makita 18v soft impact

These soft impacts are great for working in areas that are noise sensitive or if you want a smoother feel

It has fluid inside to dampen the sound and run smoother


What would you choose?

This customer wanted a cover for the water meter, normally we build a bench but they asked if we could do some shelves

It took 2 pieces of MDF and I used some left over trims

Just some wood glue and the Bosch 18v brad nailer to put this one together

Still can’t believe how well this Exo T 22 tool balancer works

It’s pretty much a backpack crane that helps take the weight off the tool

This setup runs on just one of their Nuron batteries which runs any other tool in the Nuron lineup
