Boys will be boys: Your worst (non cigar) impulsive buy of 2021 to date

[El Presidente]

 

Arrived yesterday. 

 

 

Unfortunately I broke my Jigsaw last week within 2 hours of pulling it out of the new box.  

.....I have no other power tools.

 

The good news is that I bought this work bench on points  

The bad news is that I accidentally clicked twice and am now an owner of two of them

It still has a use, Rob. As a reminder to not shopping online when inebriated.

And please explain how you broke a brand new jigsaw?

An M9 Bayonet from Smith & Wesson...

i just bought a lot of black pudding and offal sausages.

That’s a bit lightweight for my purposes, otherwise I’d take the 2nd one off your hands. 😀

Yeah, I had nothing for that either. Is it possible that he broke the blade and thinks the whole saw is ruined?

I bought a pair of jeans without trying them on.  Love the brand, they were my size, all good…until I tried them on at home.  Turns out they were an extremely “trim fit”. They were basically denim yoga pants.  I mean, maybe @ElJavi76 could’ve rocked them, but it wasn’t a good look on this pudgy, middle-aged white guy. 😔

Mrs. Wheezy is still laughing…

[Chas.Alpha]

 Cleared out his storage bin. Model rockets, think 6-7 boxes of Sir Winstons...😳

It got some speed wobbles on some grass tiles. 

Now the engine is whirring......but there is no jiggy jiggy to the blade. 

.........I don't want to get too techical

Why the fudge were you using a jigsaw to cut grass tiles? You only need a stanley knife to do that.

You probably have bits of fake grass in the mechanism.

Great pickup!  I love the ONE I have and sometimes wish I had two!

I bought a stupid expensive pen…haven’t used it yet. 
But I’m irresponsibly and rigorously honing in on another. A mentality I’m sure is not lost on some of the fine people here…

From all I have heard about Rob and sharp objects including knives, from Rob himself mind you, if I were him I would trust myself more with a jigsaw than a Stanley knife too 😉😂
Stanley knives can be evil things. Had a few nasty lacerations to fingers myself in the past.

Theres no downside to this, remember that when you need a little extra height, or if your back gives out... simply clamp your Workmate into your Workmate.   A-la the classic forklift....lift...lift

fair point. 

[anacostiakat]

Bought an All-In-One printer.  Left it sit.  Finally opened it up and of course it broke almost immediately.  Out of warranty.  Need to box it and get rid of it.

My wife was the one who brought him home from a gal’s weekend. Very domesticated sweet cat whose vet bills are $600 and mounting… I have no regrets as Agnes is paying but she might be harboring some doubts. We are thinking of naming him "Beldar".

Stihl Kombi power unit and a few attachments. Love this thing.

I have a Stihl Kombi, but upgraded recently to a Makita 36v Power Head with pole saw, hedge trimmer and extension pole.

Yeah I had some battery stuff, but got tired of the batteries. I need combustion!!!

Shit...  Did not read that right.  I take back my post.  Have to think on worst purchase.  Probably food that spoiled way too quick.

[Lomey]

I hope mine is not our second trip this year to Key West in October. With the new spike in covid cases I'm a little concerned.
