What did you buy this week?

Taking the plunge on a small Plasma table and a new blow back plasma cutter.

The 10 year old Lotos 3 in 1 50 amp plasma still working fine but the high frequency pilot arc screws up data coms.

Have several projects also converting to QA FEL on the Spare Rhino tractor.

Table and an 80 amp low frequency blow back CNC ready cutter. Have no history on the cutter (Best Arc) so bought a 4 year warranty.
Black Friday Langmuir sale on the Crossfire Pro saved $930, and amazon was 42% off on the cutter ($519).

Picked this up as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They can use it on the house they are building.

Ryobi 18 volt generator. Don't know why they call it a generator, 8, 18 volt batteries in, 120 volt 1800 watts out. Seems pretty cool, runs a 1500 watt heater no sweat.

My wife bought two new boot glove dryers not for a present just for general use. yrs ago I got a more expensive one for my cabin and drying out snowmobiling gear specifically. So far these very inexpensive ones from Menards work quite well. She went black Friday shopping I stayed home helped a few Xmas tree customers and worked on my truck there's also something to be said if your wife goes to Menards and not a home goods clothing store for black Friday deals lol.

Over the furnace registers? I won't show your suggestions to my wife or she will look for one the older and more used the better for her anyway. even though I have a lot of repurposed mechanical what most consider junk she has lots of repurposed household what I consider junk. Good suggestion but For now I hope to stick with 20 buck boot dryers.

I was pissed yesterday. I went to local store called North 40 outfitters as everything in store was 15% off. Bought a new Carhart work jacket. While i was there cashier happend to tell another customer shavings were $4.29 a bale. Wife had just purchased 60 of them last month for $6.99 a bale. Remind me to smack her.

Also, wife told me she wanted a small handheld chainsaw for trimming ( for xmas).Wanted the Dewalt DCCS623B. Like $170 from hd, amazon, ebay. So i checked North 40 and they had it for $185, but offered 15% off friday only. So i ordered it online will pick up today. And they gave me a Free 20v 5AH Battery. Those sell for $160 at hd. Score.

Spent about $50 at the Black Friday Harbor Freight deals.
Walked out with 8 bags of stuff and a huge box.

When items run down to 98-cents for things, stock up. In a few months those will be a few to several dollars apiece.

Definitely didn't buy it yesterday but Finally installed another hose reel that I bought yrs ago after using another section of my barn/ shop for auto body rust work I've had it so long I lost the handle to wind it up turning the drum works fine though and it doesn't leak air. So glad I plumbed the entire shop for air hose plug in couplers yrs ago. I might eventually get a bigger compressor to replace the 60 gal I currently have and a two post lift with over a 10' ceilings would be nice also. Anyways trucks coming along nicely I think. The 4 drawer mobile tool cart I also bought a few weeks ago is definitely invaluable thought about the hf 5 drawer but bought this husky hd brand instead the included folding side table is really convenient the hf 5 drawer you had to buy table separately.
