Re-reviews: Tools, Part 1
Home
and shop tools:
Fuji
Finepix S100fd
- We both still adore this camera. We've yet to use all of its
features, or to reach many limits in its abilities. The only
thing it
doesn't seem to do well is extremely low light conditions without a
flash, but I suspect we just haven't found the proper setting for that
yet.
Liquid
nails - I think that
if Mark had to choose between me and a lifetime supply of liquid nails,
it might be a hard choice....
Palomino
grain cowhide gloves
- Still Mark's all-time favorite gloves.
Skil saw - This electric saw keeps
right on going. We often bring it with us when we need to do home
repairs away from the farm.
Ultimate
sink strainer
- a piece broke off the bottom of one strainer under light wear, but
the lost piece didn't seem to affect the strainer's performance.
A great replacement to the dishrag mashed in the drain with a pint
canning jar. 
pStyle - I thought the pStyle was a
great idea, but I forgot about it after a week. Must have been
the return of warm weather.
Champion
3000 watt generator
- It's sitting in the barn looking pretty. We've yet to have a
serious power outage, so haven't revved it up. We probably should
give it a spin, though, just to see how it works.
