Power tools

That's right power tools.
How many of you carry power tools in your rig? What kind.
I have 20v 1/2in drill and screw gun.
1/2 drive impact gun for heavier work.
20v ratchet.
What about a 20v small skill saw and reciprocating saw? I think these could be a handy addition to the hand tools.

The new DeWalt stuff sucks. I have an old DeWalt drill that out performs my new Milwaukee. I sure am going to,miss it when I burns up.

Power tools

I have a makita 18v drill, 1/4 impact, grinder and a reciprocating saw with a assortment of blades and their cordless coffee maker

Like to upgrade to the 36v stuff but the 18v works just fine for now

I was heavily invested in the 18v stuff. The 20v backdate kit breathed new life into them... so I gave them to my son.

My 400 dollar Milwaukee kit was stolen from a jobsite. An industrial tool supply house had the dewalt truck over for a sale. I ended up buying a 1/4 impact, a 3/8 impact, a 1/2 Chuck hammer drill, three 5ah batteries and a charger for $299. I have been super impressed with the difference in big box store drill sets, and this one bought from a "tool distibutor".

What welder do you have and what do you use to power it?

In addition to the usual drill/driver and impact wrench. I carry a corded sawzall. with the 12" pruning blade, and my generator in the bed of the truck, it's great for collecting firewood along forest service roads.
