New tools you've bought recently?

Fix it so it's always "on". Maybe even glue it in place. Then put a switch on the cord.

I’ll send a pic. A lot going on since I got home from the funeral stuff.

If the tools weren't bought recently, but were tossed in a shed still in the unopened packaging and forgotten about. Then recently rediscovered when cleaning out said shed, but you've already bought another a couple of times (also lost in the shed). Does that still count for the purposes of this thread?

Asking for a friend...

I bought a gutter cleaning attachment for my Milwaukee leaf blower. It was cheap, marked down to $43 at Northern Tool on their clearance rack. Home Depot has it on the shelf for $89.

I could have rigged up something with some PVC pipe, elbows, and a Fernco rubber adapter, but it would have cost about the same or more. This was a cleaner solution for the same price.

Picture?

Does it actually work?

Yeah, they don’t make the internal parts

That’s where the advantage of owning a shed of miracles comes in. Years ago, I made an adapter out of PVC pipe, but I didn’t think of the rubber boot, so I used this incredible invention called duct tape. It was a little heavy, but it worked like a charm. Then I got gutter screens and it’s still hanging in the shed of miracles somewhere waiting to be repurposed again.

Harbor Freight really knows how to suck you in... They have a 25% off all Bauer coupon this weekend and they just had a Bauer cordless bypass pruner come out a couple months ago... the reviews are all positive so far so I bought one yesterday but for $49 I don't think it's bad so I went back today and got another and a 2Ah battery (lighter than the 3 and 5Ah I have other than the one original 1.5). I have 12 apple trees to trim this winter and this little guy has as much power as full size loppers and way less awkward.

Just have to make super duper sure to keep the booger hook away from the opening!!! The thing looks hungry and there's no stopping once you start Harry!
