Occurred to me today, nothing has spent more time in my pocket than this.
Bought it in 1992, spends about 3 years of every decade lost.
Nothing better than a marlin spike for untying a knot that someone claiming to know how to tie a bowline left you with.
Also good for stuck shackles

mine are all WWII vintage... much less shiny, but equally effective.
Here's an oldy. Recognize Anyone????
On a work truck.
On sale at HomeDepot. 225 ft/lbs of torque. Won’t leave home without this in the future.
Did you already have batteries? The Milwaukee M12 has more torque in a smaller package...I just know you’re one to save space.
too many batteries. can't afford to switch
I don't like the handle on the Milwaukee 12, it's actually a larger handle

I've recently started converting to the milwaukee 18v gear, really impressed with it so far. Just got a battery powered tablesaw and a new hammer drill today.

Trying to decide what to get next. A small impact or ratchet... maybe a cordless grinder?.
Not sure if the convenience of a cordless grinder is worth it, plus I'm trying to avoid abrasives and the black dust these days.
The one handed reciprocating saw is great. I use that thing all the time.
Mel got me the oscillating tool for xmas, seems ok, I'm sure I'll use it a ton of I get back into the boat.

This whole kit was 16 dollars more than one insert I found in Nanaimo, plus it has 20 helicoils instead of just 10.
I took the Ridgid back. Ugly internals, rough.
Got the Milwaukee 12V 1/2” and a couple of batteries. Stole Teri’s 1/4” hex so now I have a set. Milwaukee stuff sure runs smoother. Nicer to use.
Where’d you find that for 16?
$16 more, not $16

I should of said one insert compared to five, seemed like a good deal. Any one needs one let me know I have a life times supply...
I picked up a few sets from the pawn shop for a couple bucks each on clearance. I've only used them a couple times, but when they're needed they're worth their weight in gold.
I guess I should read more carefully.

I still have my original m12 3/8” drill when I first started switching to Milwaukee in 2009. I have had a couple issues over the years with some of their m18 stuff (mostly triggers or 1/4” impact lock ring collet), but with the almost 30 Milwaukee cordless tools I own now I’d say overall they don’t let me down.
My son is an apprentice mechanic and he has the 3/8” m12 version of what you got and it does 95% of removal tasks. They pack a good punch for a small package.
My newest Tool is the M18 7-1/4” rear handle worm drive skillsaw. It’s unreal how well it cuts…same as corded!
I love my worm drive corded Rigid. Crazy powerful and cuts extremely straight. It’ll cut through anything the blade will get through… even green tree branches under 4.5” (although in two passes since it’s a 7.25” blade.
My new favourite… at least for the task at the moment:
The carb needed a kit and it also needed a fuel line / primer bulb. After some minutes trouble shooting it cuts, “like a hot knight through butter”(nephew).
During the troubleshooting, damaged handle broke off. A scrap of aluminum angle, a 6” bolt, two nuts, and 5” of copper pipe solved that problem. It was handy to have some 70% alcohol based jell to wet the pipe to allow the rubber grip to slide on. A few seconds later it had evaporated and it was stuck in place. If it doesn’t stay put, I’ll use some air to take it off, and put it back onto the pipe with clear coat lacquer as “lube”.
It’ll be great for trimming back overgrown sections of trail… as though cared about pinstripes. Just need to get back out there…
BTW, it isn’t practical to use it to cut rounds… I used the worm drive saw for that.
