Just bought this to see how we like it.
We cleaned out all the soda cans that are around the house and paid for it.
Ima put the boy to work cleaning his car parts with it to see if it is good enough or we need a portable sand blaster again.

We pay $0.10 a can deposit here.
Granted we had a shitpile of them laying around.
Junior has piled them up all over the place, when he does that it takes a while to really get irritated enough to take them back.

In one trip last week, we made $102.60....
Took us about an hour to return them all.

It is like a savings account.
We get to buy bigger tools when we do it.

You being up in Portland, you ok? I've seen the riots up there and fires started for like 45 days or so. Mayor even got pepper sprayed in the face. Lol

I thought it was funny that the stupid mayor is out there supporting those idiots burning his city down.
I live just outside of Portland, but nobody knows where Tigard is.
I do work right downtown a number of blocks away from all that garbage.
But due to the virus I have been able to work from home.

So we are all good, thank you for asking.

Ordered some new m12 Milwaukee tools today. Got a ratchet, impact and drill with batteries and charger. Should go well with the m18 stuff I already have. That stuff should be here this week sometime.

Finished setting up this new tool yesterday though. It was a bit more expensive than the Milwaukee stuff though.

I just bought the cheaper HF transmission jack, but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. Anyone ever used one? I'm not so sure it's going to work well for a big 4L80e. I'm considering taking it back and buying a used motorcycle jack instead. Seems like most of those would work well for big auto trans?

Is it the one with a 1/2” square ratchet drive? If so, it worked great for my th400/208. That combo should definitely outweigh the 4l80. It goes up and down and rolls easy. I used a 1/2” drive adapter on my small battery impact driver to speed things up a bit.
