New Tool Day

Not a free bucket you have to spend $30.
Waiting for the 20 ton arbor press to go on sale or a % off coupon.

I just bought things I had planned on buying, since I'm a member, I can spend less than a dollar and get it for free.

I have enough free buckets to pay for the membership.
 
I visited my favorite Japanese hardware store while on Kauai last week and picked up 2 small Japanese made sickles. I stripped the labels and put boiled linseed oil on the handles. I also drilled holes for lanyards. They’ll get a few coats of spar varnish next week. Incredibly sharp blades.

Given I see a fair bit of zip tie work in the near future with the LJ, picked up a tool I'd qualify as "not absolutely necessary but damn handy to have", a pair of cable tie tensioner/flush cutter pliers.

I found them on Amazon. Available in 4", 5", 6".

Strangely, the button for the 4" one is labeled 4-inch revolver 357. I got excited, but it's just another cable tie cutter. :rolleyes:
