I suppose you support the Capitals?
Not really, though I do have to watch them if out and about since living where I do (Ovi is a feckin' beast). My sports teams from childhood came from western PA.

Unless he decided to retire and I didn't hear of it, the Russian is still a force to be reckoned with. His stats and career longevity are hard to argue with.
Somebody post some tools, STAT!
I lived on the east coast for two brief stints (about two years each). Once in Reading, PA and once in Woodbury, CT. I disliked both experiences. Y'all are too mean over in that neck of the woods! Give me midwest nice or southern hospitality all day long...
You must realize the difference between Midwest and Minnesota nice.
I'm not sure Minnesota nice exists anymore, sadly. I'm sure it still does up in Roseau, though. That was a cool place to live.
It still mostly exists but not really in the cities, it's just another way of saying passive aggressive there.
The Die Grinder was one of their buy a tool, get one "free" deals at the end of last year. I just never had a reason to use it, until yesterday.
When I used that phrase way-back-when, I don't think the passive-aggressive tint was there, yet. Or maybe I was just obtuse.
Bought a mag drill to fix my dump trailer. Found a Makita top handle saw on marketplace and the guy had a vacuum too. Took the 16" bar off the saw and swapped it for a 12". Got four dead 150' trees in the right of way in front of my property tucked between my fence and the power lines. Climb and chunk time.

In preparation for some painting I intend to undertake this summer, and given the success of the Inokraft D1 Drizzle in refinish the hardtop last year, I snagged a Drizzle Pro gun at low tide on Amz's price cycle. Comes with base and clear coat cap/needle pairings as well as a regulator and disposable cup setup.
Many reviews note this gun doesn't put down as much material or have as wide of a fan as the D1, that would appear to be true after testing and is exactly what I was after.
I'd liken the D1 Drizzle to a Binks #7, kind of "garden hose" for paint and great for larger objects and heavier materials, especially when using the larger caps/needle. But I've got a pair of half doors to do as well as numerous other small parts and wanted something for finer work, a detail gun. Only assembled and spray tested with a cup of thinner so far, but I think the Drizzle Pro will fit the bill.
Between the pair of them, and coupled with my "it's better than an inflator" compressor setup, I don't think there are too many coatings I couldn't shoot with success (including cerakote).

I needed some direction on paint guns. I’ve got a set of half doors to paint too. I’ll give this one a good look! Thanks.
What are the specs on your compressor to run that gun? Dang they are saying for the LVLP it requires 7.7cfm @29psi. Maybe mine does that. It's not a normal way I see the specs. I'm in a hurry to get somewhere right now so disregard this if I'm being dumb. I can research it more later.
I believe I actually purchased this compressor to run the D1 based on at least one video I came across of someone using it and the gun successfully. It would likely be pushing the duty cycle to spray an overall with it, but it performed well shooting the LJ hardtop - I never ran out of pressure and the compressor didn't run excessively. And it was spraying Raptor, a pretty viscous material even when thinned. I would imagine it will be more than good for some doors, bumpers, rockers and the like. I wouldn't hesitate to do spot repairs with it.
This was a coat of catalyzed epoxy primer to seal the hardtop, freshly sprayed from the D1 Drizzle (not the Pro) using the above compressor and 1/4" Milton lightweight rubber hoses.

Mr. Blaine made me a believer in this new die grinder in an amazingly selfless way (thanks again, Mr. Blaine!) I was as skeptical as one could be (stubborn, according to the Wizard - who knew?) After using it, I'm 100% impressed. I use carbide burrs of one shape or another very often in the shop, and this thing is just sooooo handy for that.
That said, I just found out that Milwaukee is about to introduce this new generation of M12 Fuel grinders in a straight (3486-20) and extended straight version (3487-20). They're not even on Milwaukee's web site, yet. I found out about them in an email from ToolNut.com. According to their web site, they'll be available in late July:
https://www.toolnut.com/products/milwaukee-m12-fuel-1-4-in-straight-die-grinder-2-5ah-kit-3486-22 (they don't have the bare tool on the site, yet)

I see some more tool purchases in my future, all thanks to an intervention from Mr. Blaine...
One person's amazing selflessness is another's, "I'll spend stupid amounts of money to prove someone wrong", or something like that. In this case it was a gentle nudge in the right direction with a 100% painless exit strategy if it didn't work.
Fortunately (for me), it worked! I love that thing.
But is it left or right handed?
