I call her by her full name: Rosie the Roomba

I often will do this. At the end of writing a comment I ask myself “is my desire to comment satisfied by writing this comment, is it more about me writing it than other people reading it, is the response to the comment more likely to bring bain than joy?” The answers often lead me to just closing the comment page rather than posting it, and I feel fine about that.

ProTip: Mixing mortar will kill the drill fairly quickly, but slower than I expected. This is the non-brushless one for the record.

Also ProTip: You can often find them for $20 on ebay. $80 for the brushless, NIB.

All over the map, but ~7 years ago when I moved into my new house I bought a set of Porter Cable cordless 20V that has served me well. DeWalt table saw and drywall screw gun, Hitachi and Makita nail guns. Bosch router and sander. Old school Milwaukee sawzall. Old American made Craftsman socket set. Makita compressor.

The big issue with the PC is that they just don’t have a very big tool eco-system.

I got the Porter Cable because I previously had a small set of DeWalt tools and felt like I under utilized them over 20 years. So instead of going contractor grade I went more prosumer. In retrospect I wish I’d bought Milwaukee, because I’ve used the hell out of the PC, but they’ve served me well.
