I found a TON of new Milwaukee Tool patents this year! The full video is up on YouTube now https://t.co/mpAwCr77DH

Which one are you most hoping to see at #NPS20? (Remember, these are still just patents, there's no guarantee they'll ever hit production.) #milwaukeetools #patent

The inlet valve failed on my washing machine tonight. When I pulled it away from the wall to turn off the ball valve, I discovered the installer is an idiot.
Good thing I noticed the incompetence, or I would have ordered the hot water inlet valve instea… https://t.co/1ijT1aqNQB

I foresee lots of mechanics' creeper racing coming up. This is a SB&D patent application for a motorized steerable mechanics creeper using Flexvolt batteries.

It was filed in April of last year and published as US20190337548A1 in November. Of course it'… https://t.co/9pXf56ZoyC

I just bought the @boschtoolsna GLI12V-300 work light to push my Amazon order over $100 to get the $20 off promo happening right now.

It's a little bigger than I expected, but still pretty compact. Here's the @milwaukeetool USB Rover for comparison. The… https://t.co/zPRIl179EX

Bosch Flexiclick saves the day again! There are some crazy hard to reach fasteners on this play kitchen for my daughter. I've actually ended up using a bit ratchet in some spots, but for the most part the Flexiclick has made this assembly go waaaay faste… https://t.co/UUvcGfY3ts

I needed to cut some new alignment pins for our table leaves before Christmas dinner tomorrow. The @dremel Ultra-Saw knocked out all 9 cuts in 5/16" steel rod in no time!
This saw is like a cross between an angle grinder and a flush cut saw. The adjusta… https://t.co/pdqzG4RXBo

I decided to pick up this DeWalt inflator on clearance earlier this year, and I'm super glad I did. The cold weather had my van showing 3 of 4 tires underinflated.
It didn't take long to inflate each of the 235/60R18 tires from 27 to 35 PSI. Pretty impr… https://t.co/HeU8023hAy

Our power is out in the middle of a snowstorm. One M18 Rocket Light is enough to light up the kitchen/dining/living room though.

Time to dig up all my M12 USB power sources and the Ryobi One+ inverter!

If you've been waiting for a sale to scoop up the DeWalt cordless router, now is your chance. ToolNut has it on sale for $149 bare tool, along with quite a few other DeWalt tools. That's the lowest I've seen it for so far!

If you're still on the fence a… https://t.co/IbKHAwJGUM

I finally found the box my hardware organizers were packed in. Looks like it got turned over a few times during transit. I'm considering just renaming these drawers "1/4×20 lock nuts and assorted hardware" and leaving as is. 🤦‍♂️ #hardware #moving #disas… https://t.co/iDRazyqyQ4

Plumbing in space is happening tomorrow! This R&R for the AMS cooling pump was being planned while I was working at NASA, and now it's finally happening. It's supposed to be the most complicated EVA ever, even more so than the Hubble repairs! You should … https://t.co/j8cQsCJdZp

I needed to get all my tools off of the basement floor, so two of these Husky 5 drawer 27" rolling tool chests were my Black Friday splurge for $184 each. Drawer liners and hardwood top didn't come with them though.

They're decently sturdy, but I'd stil… https://t.co/6BP7Iv6qsQ

I'm convinced whoever designed these curtain rod brackets has never installed a curtain rod themselves. I had to use a bit ratchet to tighten the screws since there was only about 2" of clearance between the bend for the rod and the wall.

Luckily I had … https://t.co/Pi6OCKI8oh

My new house came with a free bonus hammer! 😂

I needed a place to set the laser level high enough, and the top of the cabinets seemed like the best option. When I got up there, I found this forgotten hammer. I feel a little bad for whoever left it, … https://t.co/5X7EaK9Xm8

My full review of the Milwaukee M12 FUEL installation driver is up on YouTube!
I've used the crap out of this thing in the past month, working on lots of little upgrades to the new house.
If you do a lot of work in confined areas, this thing is a must … https://t.co/SujKQZybzS

[Doresoom Reviews @doresoom]

Just got done installing a Rev-a-Shelf pull out for one of the narrow cabinets in my kitchen. Sure makes accessing everything way easier!
The M12 Installation driver was the star of the show, since I was working in such tight corners. But shoutout to th… https://t.co/GAHiImlGum

[Doresoom Reviews @doresoom]

You can never have too many offset drivers! One for drilling, one for driving with this setup.

The @milwaukeetool 4-in-1 Installation driver and the @boschtoolsna Flexiclick both have their individual pros and cons. I like the ergonomics of the Milwauke… https://t.co/vSG4JbojVF

This Milwaukee compact Fastback has been the MVP for unpacking everything after the move. I've lost count of how many boxes I've opened and broken down with it!

First punch list item in the new house! We have a pedestal washing machine under the main washer, and needed two outlets behind the washing machines for both of them.

Since the original outlet was a single one, I had to swap it out. The Extech outlet te… https://t.co/M0ECSbY3mT
