okay, so... the power tool collection in the garage is my mom's though.
when she retired everyone expected her to take up woodworking. she took up quilting. like if any of y'all have quilting tips or tools or anything, i would love to follow so i can send her little websites and things about her hobbies the way she does mine and such.
lol i think she just didn't have any room in the garage for a good project honestly. we need to go through all dad's stuff.
both sides of my family are two generations off the farm so all of us worked construction, like, if not at some company around town we built something on the old dairy (my dad's side of the family, they all joined the military to get away from the farm. that farm's gone, no idea what happened to it. farm work is HARD).

I mean, wherever on the gender circle you find yourself, power tools are still fuckin' mint

Are you team red, yellow, neon yellow, orange, or teal? Funny enough you could probably do nearly the whole flag with power tools.

Wouldn't that be a case for renting tools?

But, what if I DO need them again?

The harbor freight strategy. If you only need it once or twice get the cheapest, if you use it enough to break it get a nice one.

Power tools let you screw just about anything.

Gender always was a statistical word that some people forgot was a statistical word.
