@Jcaz6996 is that a Martinez I spot? I’ve been thinking about buying one myself for a while now, do you think it justifies its price?

[Jcaz6996]

[Jcaz6996]

@Heavy_blue mate I just have major issues with buying 2 of most things ..

[DeeDee85]

@Jcaz6996 I’m a roofer, so we batten the roofs out with nail guns but then fix the tiles/slates with a hammer and I end up knocking in a few hundred nails a day at least.. the few joiners I’ve asked have said the same as you, I just need to bite the bullet and get one ordered don’t i!

[Jcaz6996]

Martinez is like IH best out there .

Cool topic guys. Can’t believe I haven’t stumbled across this before. I love tools and any opportunity to get a new one for any project no matter how small. For instance I just got a Milwaukee portable 18v vacuum because I was tired of bringing the shop vac in from the garage for job cleanup. Also just got two sets of Wera screwdrivers because the tips on my others have just been chewed to pieces and not really gripping anymore. When the kid needs batteries changed on a toy the screwdriver better work!
