    Had a pile of factory combos at one point. Got into rod building and replaced everything with custom, purpose built rods when I started fishing competitively. Took up reel collecting to populate the rods I built. Mostly, high end blanks with rare/limited edition/best in class reels. A big fan...

    Specs for external "shop" tachometer

    I have one similar to the one posted. Use i use one similar to the one you posted to adjust idle on my small, two and four stroke engines. Came as a “wrap around” but added a battery clip to make it a “clamp-on”. Works well for the purpose. No complains for the price

    DeWalt corded drill DW106 Type-2 keyless chuck, bits slipping out?

    Back when drills where drills. Still have 0222-1 (3/8") and 1650-1 (1/2") Milwaukee Hole shooters that date back to my days (80's) as a metal fabricator. I've seen the 1650-1 throw more than a couple of guys off their feet locking up a drill bit hen breaking thru the other side of a piece of...

    Nobody fishing?

    I had an Air Card for my laptop back In the Black Berry days. Just needed cell Service to be "in the office". One of the highlights of my career was the day the National Park Service extended cell coverage out to my favorite beach front location. Nothing like answering emails with sand under...

    Been a little cold.

    Well, I spoke a bit too early. The back of the property is a war zone. Spent the better part of yesterday clearing the road to the back and cutting trees off the fence lines. Hours and hours of clean up ahead NWS tracked the storm passing right over us. Confirmed a F1 tornado touched down two...

    The 5.2 towed the 19’ well. First trip with the boat was up to Sodus Pt. NY and back. Wife loved the Jeep, but the suspension and short wheel base really struggled with a 20’ walk-around I bought a couple of years later.

    I have two seafood houses with a 10 minute drive of the house. Unfortunately, between the areas wealth and tourism, fish, crabs and shell fish are crazy priced. Need to drive 40 minutes or so down to the fish houses (wholesalers) for decent prices.

    DeWalt corded drill DW106 Type-2 keyless chuck, bits slipping out?

    If that works you found the problem… a good quality chuck is harder than a file. Since you’re down under, look into Accuratecut chucks. Good quality, made in Tiawan

    You can get a good, medium duty Jacob’s for $50. Cost less than a new drill after I throw the drill out of frustration…lol

    DeWalt corded drill DW106 Type-2 keyless chuck, bits slipping out?

    Have two…absolute junk chucks Looked into a decent Jacobs chuck but never followed up. Much easier to just grab the Milwaukee hole shooter out of the drawer if I need something capable.
