ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area what are your must have tools??

On Friday I was working the crimp head while my offsider manned the pump. Meanwhile the Poco guy on the HV side is working away by himself easily throwing on lugs with his cordless crimper.

I know what I want to buy next!

e57, Makita had a deal at my local tool supply if you buy the new lithium 18 volt 1/2" drill with hammer function you could get a free impact driver. Of course the drill is $350.00. So far I am real happy with it, I've worked all day on one battery. The impact isn't here yet.

Milwaukee has a similar offer on their $425.00 28 volt lithium. Altho I like Milwaukee, the 28 volt drill was very heavy and akward so I opted for the Makita.

BigB, after mentioning it in this thread, I looked around and found that deal again. Now, I'm looking to pass on some of my older stuff to a guy who just had a lot of his stuff ripped off.
