How come it was green instead of blue?

Started blasting, in the new cabinet, with upgrades... if you ever decide to get the HF blast cabinet spend the extra money and get the Tacoma stuff to upgrade it... You will not be dissapointed. I just need to go back and reseal the area around the hopper better than HF gives you stuff with which to do, otherwise you get pinhole leaks that turn into constant stuff spilled on the floor. Got some motorcycle parts in there along with the steering arm for a 4 inch lift kit!!!! Sorry the picture is a little fuzzy, had not cleaned the grit off my cell phone yet, lol. Found out while I was waiting on a few items that the pedal assembly got a little trash in it from a field mouse. he put some chewed up grass in the fitting valve and when I pressed it the valve stuck open, so right now I am taking it apart to seal the cabinet leaks on the hopper and already cleaned out the mouse debris. Too funny what little critters can do if left unattended.

I have read that using RTV when building the cabinet will make it seal much better than anything that comes with it. I also know first had that orange RTV is used in the coal pulverizers in power plants and some is still there after 2 years of continual use.

I bought one of these and filled it with grade eight hardware

Found a GEARWRENCH 3/8 drive 7mm short socket and a nice pair of jumper cables in the boneyard.

Recently brought this Sidchrome set 1/2" drive set. Mainly wanted the torx sockets, but the other bits will come in handy

Lol, not on these trucks they won't. Handy set to have regardless. You never know when you'll run across some bastard fastener, and need a inverted tamper proof left hand widget socket.


And, yeah, I do have sets of all those in the one you picked up, just very rarely need anything other than a t15 or t20 torx bit on these old trucks.

Well, it wasn't for something on my burb that I needed it for - my daily driver is covered in torx fastners. The standard inhex sockets will get use elsewhere as well

Picked this rotary laser up for doing projects around the property. I like it a lot. Checked it out against my big boy laser I use for work and it’s damn accurate. Self leveling too, so if it gets bumped it corrects itself. If it’s too far for it to self level, it beeps at you from the laser and receiver. Supposed to be +/- 1/8” at 1000’

Well, my crapsman 19.2v screw gun and my hammer drill finally bit the bullet so instead of just buying another one to keep my set full like I've done for the past 15 years, I decided to change direction with cordless kits. Here is what I started with, DeWalt brushless hammer drill, impact driver and 1/2" drill driver with 2 of the 5AH batteries. So far the only thing that makes me want several more batteries is how long it takes to charge a battery from one light to full charge, seemed like it was about 3 hours.
