In my area, they’ve been in stock since late last year.

I find them I’m the Milwaukee hand tool area and also lots of times at the contractor’s desk.

Sven,

I got your pm and responded but I’ve had problems with things not going through. If you don’t get it, it’s not because I ignored you! 🙂

Personally, I think you’re making this more of an issue than it really is…

Big congrats to all! Hope Mom & baby are doing well!

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!

Glad the back is better.

That’s why all our drivers know to leave packages on our back porch (which is where this was).

Yes. Kind of a bummer being back down in the low digits again, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Had a chance to unbox it this evening. Looks pretty sharp! I can’t wait to try it out…

Sorry Mark. The pic wouldn’t upload when I initially posted. I had to crop it and repost. It’s there now.

It’s here! Arrived on my doorstep this morning.

Haven’t had a chance to open it up yet….

He had a vise, tools, etc. I went to the local Salvation Army store and bought him a bunch of things (radio, blow dryer, toaster, etc and cut the cords off.

Looking forward to getting it. I’m in the process of building/welding a trailer, so it’ll really help.

Redeemed points in this week for the 14″ benchtop metal cut-off saw. Aaron said I should have my first “box” by the end of next week.

WooHoo!!

(But it’s a bummer starting back out at the bottom of the points again!) 🙁

@pi_woodworker, (laughing) I’m sure it does but thankfully we haven’t resorted to that yet!

I have 1 that helps me extensively, 1 that’s training to help me, and 1 that wants to help when they get a bit older (attention span still a little too short:-) ). The rest will willfully “help” under gentle bribing when needed! LOL
