I dont know about you guys but I have a serious tool addiction....
I have a lot of tools, it never fails, when Im at a jobsite and other techs are around, someone says something about the tools. I have a tool bag for everything, I have one for soldering and one for PVC/Pex, I have one for sheet metal, one for oil service, one for gas service, one for electrical, and one for drill bits....
I recently purchases a on of the new Milwaukee 12v li on stuff, the Pex expander, pvc cutter {works awesome cuts up to 2" sched 40 in seconds !!!}, the copper tubing cutter {not too bad, cuts fast and straight but, I dont think it will ever replace my manual cutters}, a couple of the small drills, laser level, radio, flash light, pistol grip multimeter, and a scanner... These tools all come with a 5 year warranty and look to be quite handy, Ill know better in a few weeks since I havent used them on too many jobs....
I already own the Bosch 12v drills and there sheet metal cutter {which is phenominal} but them are mostly for sheet metal jobs which has been slow latley. The pex tool will get a work out tomorrow I use uponor expansion pex {my favorite} and tomorrow Im running about 60 joints on a small job so the pvc cutter and the pex expander should come in handy, I figured the job was around 4 hours with out the tools, so we will say how much time it takes with them...
Does anyone else have a tool addiction????

I am not ashamed to say that when I notice a tool that will assist me in performing my job(s) making the job easier to handle and helping to make the job more professional in appearance and operation, I will obtain that or those tools quickly.
I have enough tools to outfit a fair sized business working with most anything in the HVAC/R trade.
Having all of this has more than once pulled my butt, and my employer's future, out of the fire for a successful completion.
I gots lots of tools!!:cheers:

I am also a tool geek. I have many tools I used just once for that certain job and well worth it. Every day I learn something new and I need a new tool to put it to practice.
