What did you buy this week?

[MossRoad]

A service wrench set for my hydraulic fittings on my machine. Taking it apart was easy. Putting it back together, not so much. Pretty tight spaces.

A 5500 watt dual fuel Inverter generator, Gas & LP. To help get through hurricane related power outages.

We bought a Champion generator in June when a storm came through here. The generator works great, but I hate the CO shield crap on it. I had to put a stand fan blowing on it to keep the thing from shutting down where I have to use it.

Saw on Struggleville.net, Home Depot deal, buy 2 4amp 18v rigid batteries, and charger for $139, and get your choice of bare tools. I got the angle grinder. I already have drill, impact, leaf blower, skill saw, 2-1.5, 3, and 4 amp batteries for the Rigid system; but one of the 1.5amp and the drill both need set back. The drill, high gear is messed up, and one of the 1.5 amp batteries doesn't charge anymore; but it did fine for probably 8 years. The Sawzall and skill saw are both going on 18 years old.

I've wanted a cordless angle grinder for a long time, not to replace my corded makita, but to supplement it.

Wife and I went out to San Diego to take classes on how to use our new sandblasting cabinet to do sandcarving on stained glass and and other objects and how to paint glass and fuse it in the kiln. We bought the UV light kit and supplies to make our own stencils to put on the glass. We want to expand our stained glass business to do other types of glass pieces and do do pet monuments out of river rocks and marble. Here are some of our project pieces from class. The 2 bottom pieces are 5 layers of glass sandcarved, painted with enamel, and fused together into one piece.

Finally bit the bullet and bought a hot water pressure washer, Alkota 430X4.
Bought a piece of SS flat steel and Hannay reel separate and mounted, like it a lot

I bought two PTO water pumps. One is a Goulds, looks like 500 gpm. He wanted $250. He was going to take it to the scrap yard, but noticed it was a Goulds and thought it might be worth something. It has a lot of bearings and an oil bath bearing, so there are a lot of things that could be wrong. He said he had another that was going to the scrap yard. It was a nice Berkley with far fewer bearings and moving parts. He said he'd do a package deal. I offered $300 for both. Now I own two PTO pumps.

Picked up a canopy kit from a local dealer for my Yanmar SA425. Took about three weeks to arrive. Installed the brackets/hardware on the tractor. Removed the top from its packaging and noted a crack on the front right corner. Now to get a replacement…..

Uhg. Good luck with that replacement.

Thanks. Working with the dealership. The kit was not given to me in its original box. The large square U frame was naked, the side brackets were in a foamy wrap taped up, and the hardware in a cotton bag. The top which was upside down on a pallet was 1/2 inside a poly bag with the other half exposed. I should have checked everything carefully prior to picking it up and I wish the kit was in its original package. I am sure it will be resolved.

JVR Industries Vac100 chamber vac sealer

I have had the Vac110 for about 3 years now. It has had no issue and we have used it a lot. When you order bags go with the 4mm over the 3. Much more durable for not much of a price difference.
