What did Santa bring you? Christmas 2021 edition

I wasn't very bad this year so Santa brought me a 13" Ridgid planer. Obviously I wasn't a very good boy either, the planer is pre-owned and doesn't have the best reviews but I hope it will be ok to use it here and there.

Well it's better than coal . My biggest experience with them is most people buy one too light duty for there needs . They buy the cheaper one because there only going to use it a few times . Or they expect thee machine to practically do all the work for them . Thous it gets bad reviews . Anything sold at Home depot is going to be lighter duty , knowing that don't try to do more than it it is capable of and you will be fine .

Payback from years of picking on my kids. :106: Everyone gets rubber worms in their stockings except the youngest, she doesn't fish, so she gets gummie worms. :D

The switchblade spork might come in handy in truck for pudding on days when I forget to bring a spoon. :112:

It was the usual Christmas for us here, with my daughters coming over with their families. Exchange gifts and then eat dinner play a few games watch a little football on TV.

I'm curious wow well the battery maintainer charging system will work on four batteries.

Keep the Peace

I don't have one of those chargers. But it should be good as it looks like 4 chargers in 1. Unlike the ones I have that claim to maintain up to 4 batteries by hooking them up in parallel to the charges 1 set of wires.

Santa brought me a 4500# winch for my new-to-me trailer. And a 3-in-1 hitch ball. (You permanently mount a special stud and you can instantly install an 1 7/8", a 2" , or a 2 5/16" ball onto the stud. So you don't have to carry around 3 different hitch adapters) And a replacement Ryobi 18V hammer drill. (New old stock. NOT BRUSHLESS. I'm beginning to form the opinion that brushless tools don't hold up well in the long haul.) And a set of caliper centerline jaw adapters.

Am I the only one who's struggling harder and harder to find gift items that are both desireable and remotely affordable? I guess I have everything...

LOL

I connected the charger this morning to four tractor batteries still in the tractor that are located in an unheated area of my shop. I just went out and checked the status of the four batteries and two were fully charged and in standby mode. The other two were still charging which was understandable. I also had my wife purchase two 10' extension cables, so the charger clamp cables would reach the tractors. This causes a voltage drop and charge at a slower rate, which was explained in the instructions. I'll keep checking the charger and let you know how it is working.

Keep the Peace

@thebuildist Your not alone , most of us get to a point where the only thing we really want are the things we have not been able to afford , don't have room for , or are out of reach for some reason .
