What was your prep for today?

Oh! How angry do you think Milwaukee, and Ridgid users are going to be if they find out those brands are owned by the very same Parent company that owns Ryobi, and HART? 😁

Eh, Bugatti is owned by VW, but no one is saying a Chiron is the same as a Jetta

Went on a camping trip and forgot my Goal Zero to run my CPAP at night. Used the battery from my Tacoma to run the CPAP 2 nights. Couldn't start when I put it back in.

I have 2 HAM Radios in the truck, and am forgetful enough to leave them on sometimes.

Finally purchased and placed into the truck a battery jump box.

Oh, you bought one of the best ones out there.
Got a GooLoo GP3000 Jump-starter in my car.

Hope you've got at least one really good bicycle tire-pump.

Monocrom, if you use Ryobi, this would be a fantastic addition,
brushless, good power, clutching to adapt the situation. You can do alot with drills

$101 fulfilled by Amazon (you have to use 'drop down' to see all sellers)

add/edit: guessing you knew you can use socket adapters on a drills

Amazon.com

Other independent brands worth mentioning are Ingersoll Rand and Snap-On.

ETA: And Stihl, of course.

Yes, and I appreciate the heads-up. Putting that one on my short-list.

Recently bought a Stihl mower and strimmer both battery powered. Definitely a cut above the usual fare that is offered in the local DIY store.

Honestly, if I had the funds, all of my power-tools would be Stihl, Milwaukee, and Makita. (DeWalt used to be on that short list, and I do own a DeWalt router I like a lot. But lately I've noticed a dip in overall quality and performance.) But, Ryobi is probably the best of the recognized budget brands; overall. Thankfully Makita's corded power-tools are a surprisingly good bargain.
