    Um — peoples in the backcountry of the Ho appreciate that sort of ride and it’s a real possibility they will attempt to talk you into staying— especially if you get to kill’n critters — there’s a lot of meat lockers that need fill’n before winter hits

    Yeah, I was looking to pick up that bigger one myself, so this is kind of a let down, but the other suggestion to build one isn't a bad idea either.

    To be fair to HFT, I don't like buying cheap (excrement :) ) either, but I tend to check their stuff out pretty thoroughly in person and through reviews, so I'm usually not caught off guard, and there's plenty of people on YT that have overcome some of the pitfalls or warn of problems. So far, other than the (knowingly) cheap drill bits I bought, I haven't had that much problem with most of the stuff I've bought from them. If I can find American made Intermediate user type tools, I buy it, but so far, I haven't been burned by their stuff that I have purchased. (Knock on wood). If I need/want professional grade because I know the difference in need for it, I have no problem putting the money on it I need to either, but something I use a few times to get the job done, doesn't need to be highest quality necessary.
    :banghead:

    Edit: For example, their Bauer SDS Max Demolition Hammer I used to break out the concrete 2 years ago, the Central Machinery Cement Mixer I used to mix the cement bags, the Braun String lights I used to illuminate the area while I mixed and worked in the Dark were very capable and I'm maintaining them, along with a variety of hand tools etc are very good quality for what I need to do.

    Me and that @ElmerFudpucker fella was eyeing a home made one that mounts to the front hub on face crack. It looked handy as socks on a #### rooster but I ain’t sure how to post it here. @D.Tibbitt if something like that might be of interest we can figure out how to find one another on that deal and I’ll send it to ya
