The LOML and I went on a getaway this weekend, and we stopped at the Reading Outlet Maul on Saturday, where they had a Black and Decker Outlet. I broke my favorite B&D 18V drill awhile back, it still turns, only in reverse (the selector switch is shot). It didn't owe me much, but the LOML picked it up a few years back for me. The batteries still hold a good charge, so I decided to stop in and see about a replacement 18V to go with my Ryobi kit, after all one can never have too many drills, right?
So this went in the truck:
refurb unit with charger and two batteries. Yep there are three batteries in the photo, had to make sure my old ones fit. Nice thing, they upgraded from the slippery plastic to a serious knurled aluminum chuck.
Today we stopped at the Allentown Woodcraft for their Father's day 15% off bag sale. Anything you can fit in a shopping bag, excluding power tools, festool, etc...
I dropped a bit more than I thought when the LOML encouraged me to get the K3 kit vs the Kreg rocket and a separate clamp. SO I went over my 'budget' a bit. (Budget, HA!)
I picked up a pen Mandrel and some CA Glue, plus some solvent for the same. A package of exotic pen blanks and a couple of sets of bushings for what I expect I'll be turning, cigar pens and euro-style.
and last but not least I threw in an Incra 6" Rule.
