Still 1.749 here... might be a good time to go pick up some parts from up that way... If I can find some time to get away

Just paid 1.41 in Alberta!!
It said the best price around was 1.749
Occasionally it’s a bit cheaper in Langford to compete with Costco… but every gas station usually has the same price for gas.
Diesel on the other hand is all over the map. Some stations charge 10 cents/liter more than others.
Come to think of it, I usually don’t care a lot with the car because it usually only takes 25-30 litres if it’s on E… diesel at 100-120 litres makes more of a difference.
With the 40, two tanks and 35 gallons I hold out for better prices before filling the tanks.
ADAMS TARP AND TOOLS - now in NANAIMO
Purchased Midland tools building in Nanaimo.
Now offer a full tool product lines and their main target is to under sell KMS tools any sale you see at KMS they will beat or at least that’s what they told me. Of course time will tell.
I’m on my way to buy a new Metabo grinder

You're not the first one I've heard that from about the KMS pricing.
So much for Metabo. Sold out, not nearly the same quality as the original German made grinder
I’ve got. Damn.
But promo sale on so went all in on Milwaukee 18V kit. Upgraded to most powerful impact.
Can almost buy a car for the price of tools now, but I expect last set for me.
Owners really nice, definitely personable and spent time with me going over the tools.
Also, he’s a Toyota guy so ya know, not all bad! LOL

Ya the metabo stuff here is generally cheaper "okish" tools...
Ive more or less rotated all of the metabo stuff out of my collection due to mediocre quality. Replaced with Bosch pro line, dewalt, and Milwaukee.
I went all in on 18V Milwaukee. Basically I've got Rigid stuff I bought initially in 2007 when we built the house.
Couple of new drills. Batteries might drill 15 screws, just worn out. I got a box set, sawzall, grinder and portable
skilsaw I've wanted for a while. It came with 1/2" impact but I upgraded that to the Grand Daddy 1/2", f'n thing
is much bigger and claims to be far more powerful than my 1/2" Snap-On. I'm gonna be doing some suspension
work on the Tundra and a direct competition is in place. As usual batteries are gonna be the major cost, it only
came with 2.

See if you can find someone locally rebuilding them. A friend of mine does batteries here, buys broken/dead packs, puts new cells in them to replace the 1-2 dead/low cells then resells them.
He usually charges less than half of new, and they work just fine for me... I've had a few going for a couple years now with daily use, no problems
That’s there. Here some guy will want me to pay him to give them to him. Then he’ll charge twice what new are ‘cause the cells are better’. To be honest I’ll probably just leave them on the side of the road with a ‘Free’ label.
There was a place in Duncan refurbishing batteries. Across the highway from lifetimer.
But yeah. I am a Milwaukee guy now apparently. It's decent stuff.
The weedwacker and pole saw are awesome.

Four of my Milwaukee batteries have recently decided to not take a charge. Two years is about max for those I’ve found.
Good to know about that other tool store. Can’t stand that ****ing KMS place and their staff.
Christ, I hope not. Too many guys I’ve talked to live and die with Milwaukee. I think
Paul Z has shares now from the stock he has.
I suspect Dan is a little harder on them than your average garage tinkerer
I haven't had a battery go yet.
Bought these holders of Amazon a while back. Pretty nice for keeping them sorted.
Also got ones to hold the tools themselves but they don't really work for my space.
And on the subject of tools...finally after years of it pissing me off, I made one of these for my old Makita grinder.
Being unable to set it down while it spent 15 seconds slowing down to a stop drove me nuts

Just to alleviate anyone wanting to upgrade their 2010 Tundra to a cool V8 Turbo diesel. Cha-freakin-Ching!!! $$$$
