EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I was a bit disappointed today as my new Sage 1 Maxamet has been in town since 6:08 this morning but my local PO is too overburdened and understaffed to sort the packages received and it won't be available until tomorrow. In the meantime I decided to go Spyderco again and make this a Maybe Moki Monday with my largest and smallest Seki City made Pakkawood HAP40 Spydies.

I was over in the shop earlier prepping to install the 5000W ceiling-mount garage heater I bought to heat our upstairs gym this winter. I spent part of today gathering the materials needed, clearing stuff out of the way upstairs and down, and drilled the holes needed to get from the downstairs panel and up into the second story ceiling and back to the two-pole switch. It was definitely a Milwaukee Monday and I was reminded of Dcdavis Dcdavis commenting that my dump trailer was older than him. My right-angle drill is 45 years old, D, and comes from back in the day when Milwaukee was an American owned company, the tools were made in Wisconsin, and one bought them from a tool-supply house or legitimate hardware store as there weren't such things as big-box stores. It's had a new drive collar, a switch, a couple sets of brushes, and a new cord or two along the way but it's still going strong. :D

I fully know what ya mean. I’ve been doing this for almost 21 years now (whole family of electricians so I started early) and have had the same right angle drills the whole time. Only new one we’ve bought is bc found a deal on eBay. I do use a Hole Hawg mainly now tho. We had a Milwaukee Thunder Bolt rotary hammer for years. Was a $1200 drill back in the day. It saw a ton of use over the years. Finally died on me. Sent it back to Milwaukee to have it worked on/rebuilt/fixed. They sent back a completely new drill. All plastic and just cheap. I was pretty upset. When dad came to the shop and opened it his exacts words were “smells like China”. That hammer has no where near the power that old Thunder Bolt had, no comparison. It’s only about a $400 drill new. We ended up finding another Thunder Bolt on eBay and bought it

Huh and I wore my Hello Nasty tour shirt today (yesterday). I saw them live on that tour in 1998. Hell of a concert. Round stage, giant crane arm would come down, touch the stage, and the stage would rotate like a record, therefore not a bad seat in the house.
