That’s actually a pretty good deal and those are pretty good tools. The DCF887 is being replaced by the DCF850, but it’s still a tried and true work horse impact driver. And that impact wrench is actually phenomenal, it usually runs for 200 dollars tool only. Read more

I own this model, and while its screen might not be akin to looking at a Tesla, it has been a solid performer, the required service has been been quick and effective, and its usable by the entire family - 5 stars! Read more

Gloves. Get a pair of divers gloves to keep your stubs warm and dry. Go to the farm supply store wearing them and search the glove section until you find ones that fit over the divers glove. The reason for this is that the diver glove doesn’t do well wear-wise when shoveling snow or pushing your car out of the… Read more

Damnit...really wanna upgrade my 3600x, and while this is a good deal, I dunno if I wanna drop $265 to eek-out another .3 Ghz OC’ing. :/ Have to pass, but great CPU’s if you’re building your own. Remember you can wait on a video card with the AM4's; Ryzen 5's have built-in GPU’s, so you can just straight-up plug your… Read more

I know The Inventory is a place that recommends buying things new, but snow pants & other outerwear is pricey and can very easily be bought, even mid-season, at thrift stores. I found a pair of very comfy, well-insulated pants for $5 last week. Read more

You’ll eventually figure out that you want an EVAPORATIVE humidifier rather than one that spits out visible vapor. The vapor ones look cool, but the ones that are just a big wick and a fan are more reliable and effective as well as less messy. You won’t see the mist coming out of an evap, but it will bring up your… Read more

Long underwear. Layering is the key to staying warm, and long underwear is great for days that are too cold for just a jacket, but not cold enough for the parka and snow pants. Read more

Good luck with the basement issues! When it warms up make sure the house perimeter is graded properly as in everything slopes away from the house. Same with the gutters, downspouts and yard, move the water as far away from the house as you can.. With a house that old the drain tile system might be failing, pray to… Read more

Ice cleats... unless your fancy duck boots have hobnails, you’re going to end up on your butt... I moved from Austin to Minnesota with a giant Ice Station Zebra style parka, and left Minnesota 8 years later wearing a really good hoodie and quality layers. Nylon over pants are definitely a great idea, I actually wore… Read more

I keep some snacks in my travel kit. Things with a long shelf life and high calorie count. Non-melting candy bars, or something similar, work well. Read more

It took many times falling/slipping on ice and eventually a knee surgery to get me to wear yaktrax whenever its remotely dicey outside. The styles with the coils seem to work the best for casual walking around. I have some the chain-style ones as well for when I am in my heavy- duty boots. They do wear out over time,… Read more

I’d also like to think of winter as two separate parts... Coming in and out of winter, and then deep winter. You’ll need some good clothes, boots and layers for deep winter. Also, a balaclava will go a long way. And likely you’ll need two types of winter clothes, those for milder temperatures, and then ones that the… Read more
