  2. Wouldn't that be Tripping?
  3. When we went we started the trip here http://www.fskfamily.com/ Then we went to Bethany beach and had a better overall experience. Edit: FSK was great, but we only booked one day and the weather was terrible so it nearly ruined that part of the stay.
  4. Preach it! Only reason I didn't get a charger, no manual option.
  5. I have a bunch, with my sawzall probably being the oldest and after 10+ years of total abuse, it is still running as strong as ever. I have many of their tools from grinders to battery drills and so far everyone is still going strong. I've also had a few flops but most were hand tools, can't think of a power tool that has failed me yet. I tell everyone, if you depend on your tools to put food on the table, don't buy HF as it can be hit or miss. If you are a shadetree and the savings can benefit you then go for it. I buy their stuff all the time mostly because if it fails on me in the middle of a job it's no big deal and I'd rather save the money overall. I do use a bunch of their tools for work and so far no complaints or failures from me or anyone else in my group. Had one drill that crapped out within a week but a trip back yielded a replacement that's still going strong.
  6. Extremely. I keep an old sprayer and it only takes a quart or so per gallon of water to kill everything. If you really want to knock shit out for long term go full strength and just mist it on the leaves of whatever. It'll be gone in no time.
  7. I use it in low quantities to kill weeds on sidewalks and driveways.
  8. Try a thicker oil first. I would run a quart of 15-40 or 15-50 then top it off with 5-30 or 10-30 and see if that helps.
  9. Any advice for cleaning? I've read that ultrasonic is the way to go over tumbling but tumbling makes it look better. I got a small ultrasonic but plan to move up when I really get into it.
  10. As I said... Keep in mind I live in BFE so everything out here is a money making scheme.
  11. I'll have to look in to that. Sometimes I do work in zanesvills so it wouldn't be too bad to make a trip over.
  12. So far in all my freedom ammo, I've had one bad round. Bad primer strike but I tossed it into the woods and didn't pay much attention as the rest went off without a hitch. I wasn't firing the gun at the time so I don't know what happened. I cleared the round and later realized it was a bad strike.
  13. I appreciate the offers. Unfortunately, I'm not in cbus so it'd have to be shipped. I can toss a few $ via PayPal as I don't expect anyone to eat the cost of shipping. As of now, the only calibers I have are 380, 9, 40 and 45. In rifle I also have 270 but I already have nearly 200 brass for that. I'm sure I'll be adding soon but waiting for the holiday season to settle out before I buy more stuff. As for a progressive, I've had my eye on one for a while. I'm sure I'll go there eventually but for now I plan to go slow. I figured I'd start with the single stage and eventually move up, but even if I do the single can be a deprimer or trimming station. Plus it's always easiest for rifle calibers anyway. Not like it'll ever go to waste. Unfortunately for me, most of the ranges here keep the brass. They don't allow pickups which sucks. I believe they keep and reload it to sell back to shooters. I'm still looking for better ranges though so that may change, but for now I'm stuck. I'm trying to mostly shoot at friends with lots of property but many of them also reload and keep the brass. I'm sure if I asked ahead of time they'd let me keep what I shoot but I'll cross that bridge when it comes.
  14. Looking for a place to buy cheap brass in lower quantities. Just got my press and i don't want to buy 500-5000 pieces while I mess with it to learn and play. Just a few pieces each of 9mm, 40s&w and 45 acp will be plenty. I'd also take a few 380 acp but this isn't a high priority. Anyone willing to spare a handful of each so I can get rolling? After I get to shooting and saving my brass, I'll be set but in the mean time I'd like to get it set up and going ahead of time. Any tips for a beginner would also be appreciated. I'm using a lee single stage fwiw. Don't plan on high volume, just the ability in keeping the stockpile replenished is good enough. Shoot a few boxes, reload a few boxes.
  15. Asked for nothing, wanted nothing but quiet. Spent most of the holiday answering calls for work shit. Father in law saved the day with a bottle of fireball. Can't answer calls shit faced. Thanks FIL!!!
  16. There's a lot more out there than the info on the msds. Rather than try to shit on a long standing member that advised they do more research, you should give good advice rather than be a basement troll.
  17. :lolguy: I've got to laugh at this piece of advice and say Cordell pretty much gave sound advice. You on the other hand should exit stage left. This ^
  18. Look on CL or grab the HF one. Also check out walmart. I got a stanley one there for $88 WAY WAY back and it was full of tools.
