The drill press is the 17 speed hf floor unit but the sander is a Craftsman with a 1.5 hp motor. It is old enough to make me believe that rating might be true.

In retrospect, I may have a tool problem.
The HP rating on the HF tools is certainly optimistic. Years ago, I found a Jet metal cutting vertical/horizontal bandsaw for my dad. We used it a ton, worked well. You could have the blade resting on the metal when you turn on the motor and it'd start cutting. More recently, I got the HF equivalent - this motor will stall if you don't let it spool up prior to cutting. I haven't used the big sander hard enough to stall it yet, but she sure does dim the lights when on.
Been shopping?
No, been shopping.
What's that?
A piston engine!
What do you want with that?
It was a bargain!
How do you cook it?
Read one thread on these, went on Craigslist the same night. Bought this the following weekend. Now I have to sell it since I have no use for it.
Is that a Cobalt ss? If so, let's talk..

Woodward also has a small one, made in China, for around $300. It seems like they have one on display at every car show and swap meet that I go to, but they have none for sale on the spot, so I've never pulled the trigger.
When I used to go to shows they often sold the displays once the show was over.

'09 SS sedan (turbo) with 156k miles... Email me if interested.
I honestly can't say no to car parts or tools so I stopped looking. For my own safety.
In my town, we've got lots of rich kids who when college is over, throw out good stuff.
I just picked up a $350 brand new Samsung UHD USB-C Monitor for free. Still in the box. From a frickin curb.
Didn't need it, but sure as hell will use it.
I am so tempted.

These bikes are built by hand in Italy, and as close to a factory race bike as you can buy. They are absolutely incredible and as close to jewelry as a motorcycle can get.
I already have a 144 and really don't need another 125/motocross bike, but it's normally $10k plus freight and pdi and now listed as OBO. That's a little more than $5k US.

Holy cow; it turned out 2018 me was wrong. The clutch went out of my daily just after I got this home so I fixed it the way I wanted it to be and drove it 40,000 miles in 2018.
And it's still here
At the beginning of Covid I bought a 3800SC swapped Fiero GT for cheap because it was cheap. Now I'm many hours and much money into making it drivable. But I absolutely don't need the darned thing.
Probably all but like 4 or 5 of my cars could fall into that category. Also, clearance stuff from Home Depot. Last week I grabbed a 50lb box of 6" nails/spikes. I currently have no use for them, but $15 for 50lb box that was previously $95 was just too good to pass up.

Wanna sell it? I'm on the lookout for a Challenge car
Those damn $400 blown motor projects that can be turned around in a week.... And now it's approaching 10 yrs and about $5k, even with all the freebies...
I bought twin Volvos. 
Bought a Butterfly air wrench off a tractor trailer tool sale about 20 years ago. Never used it !
It'll go at the estate sale probably.
