Don't Bash Harbor Freight

Installed a new microwave last night. The wall mount bracket is about 2" high with an "L" lip that catches on the bottom back corner of the microwave. The MW gets hooked on the bracket and then rotated up into position to put in the top bolts.

Problem: I have a 3/4" thick plywood backsplash with a mica face that runs across the back of the range and up to the upper cabinets. For the new mounting bracket to be mounted, I needed to take off 1/4" off the top of the splash for the 30" in between two cabinets. The splash is caulked to a stucco wall.

I was thinkin' I could rout most of it off and then just chisel where the router base wouldn't go. Then I remembered I had the Harbor Freight Multi-Function tool. I didn't think it would do it, but I was wrong. It worked like a champ. It made the job so easy. I thought if it dies after I'm done, I got my money's worth.

Cab,

How much did they promise to pay you to say this.

I need to get one of those multi-tools. That is one I still don't have.

A few days ago I made a form for a concrete fountain base to act as a sump to collect the fountain water where a pump would pump it back up. It was made of 8 pieces of scrap plywood in the form of an octagon. After forming the base I was wondering how to get the form off without causing any damage.
Easy! The HF multitool (actually multifunction tool, I guess to avoid a squabble with Fein) I recently bought was used to cut the form so I could just unwrap it from the concrete.

Now if you can sell it used on Craigslist as "just like the Fein MultiMaster" for 3 times what you paid for it, you'd be golden...

I think harbor freight is a great resource personally.

Now if you can sell it used on Craigslist as "just like the Fein MultiMaster" for 3 times what you paid for it, you'd be golden...

Even better, say "used 'in the field' by the legendary c'man" and mark it up even more! If they ask who c'man is, just pause, laugh and say, "aww -- you almost had me there!"
