Got this PHD and so far it’s okay. Solo operation is tedious if you need perfectly plumb, accurately positioned holes. With my wife operating from the seat and me guiding with the wand, it’s pretty decent.

I believe we have the exact same model at work. We haven't used it in years, but I seem to remember it working well.

I have a top and tilt kit that should be delivered soon, having the hydraulic side link should make it easier to plumb when not on perfectly level soil.

Not new, but new to me... a PENTAX ETH-20F Digital Theodolite. Needed to do some surveying, shooting property lines on a decent slope, so with 30x mag seemed to be the cat's meow. Always wanted one, just new is waaayyy out of my price range.

Box trailer for doing installs. It’s been a game changer so far. Light enough to be towed by any of the trucks, but 10k capacity.

A set of 6 ton jack stands since I cannot trust the ones I have. New ones are professional quality, very solid. Need one more set.

I think one pair was from them but the second I can't remember. I have had an entire vehicle resting on the and they didn't fail, but I am not taking any more chances with them. I'll use them for light stuff that won't put my life in danger, but no more hard work for them.

Oh yeah, I bought one of those Bosch laser measuring devices that are good for indoor measurements up to 65 feet. But someone decided they wanted it more than me. It disappeared from my desk last weekend.
