yeah i’ve always see his bigger pipe wrenches but i didn’t know they even made this size or that he had it tucked away somewhere. he said if he ever brought it onto the job it would disappear

it’s a matter of personal preference but i think most people would benefit from having at least two sprayers: one for killing (or dedicated roundup) and one for feeding. it’s good practice to flush them out after every use regardless. when i upgraded i dedicated my first sprayer to be my killer sprayer. i use “bifen it” often throughout the summer for pest control around the house and property so i like the convenience of the small handheld battery powered sprayer for that purpose.

I had to play with it today actually. There's a spring inside that presses down and adjusts the pressure and therefore flow. It's adjustable with an allen wrench. Get the sprayer to full pressure and then adjust that hex to optimize your spray.

It's a beauty! Still need to add a double ended adjustable to the mix.

NTD: acquired a few vintage bit gauges: No. 47 + 49 by cortaydo_cortado in Tools

Although numbered later, the 49 appears designed more for hand driling where the 47 would be better on a power drill.

pretty sure it was paid off by ‘67. it’s marked ‘37 on the back
