I was answering a tool question on another forum and it occurred to me that I haven't gotten a new woodworking tool in over 15 years. That's right, everything (including me) in my shop is old, but still working.
When Was The Last Power Tool You Purchased?

Last tool I bought was an electric chain saw from Harbor Freight about three years ago. I haven't found much time in the shop this last year and other than cleaning and maintenance out there I'm feeling somewhat deprived.

I can't recall.
Oh, a spare C3 drill driver on eBay.
Before that, a corded drill to replace the one I have my son.
replacement brad nailer.
Hammer drill for drilling brick masonry.
And a replacement shop vac for one that died.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Last year I blew out my old Skil orbital sander. Bought a B&D that was VERY short lived, as in was able to return it to Walmart kind of short lived... Bought a Ryobi and been good. My old B&D angle grinder gave up the ghost about the same time, got a cheapie from Harbor Freight...
Long story but either the sander, or grinder. Everything else is older...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

My last purchase was a contractor model SawStop that I tricked out with cast iron tops, router top and wings, T glide rip fence and router lift. That finished off my tool budget for 2021. I chose the contractor model as it was to replace my contractor model Powermatic 64 which already had a nice cabinet base.Comment

It works, but it arrived just as I was trying to finish up the old house for sale. Then spent a year in a townhouse and have been finishing the shop and other stuff in the new house since. I haven't had much time to spend with it so I can't review it yet. The wave 1 early adopter price was too good to pass up. $1200 vs the $2599 they are going for now. I think I'd paid for it 2 years to 18 months before it arrived.
