Your first welding project?

What was your first welding project? Could be for work, but I'm thinking more like something you made just for yourself.

Mine was a cart for my welder. I learned to weld in high school and from my grandfather both. When I bought my first welder (an old Miller thunderbolt AC stick machine with a crank wheel, that I still have and use), my grandfather called me up and said he had a project for me. When I went to his shop he had an old shopping cart he'd fished out of a ditch, and we cut it all up and turned it into a cart so I could move my welder around more easily.

It's a fun memory I have with him, and a useful thing as well

DeWalt drill and impact set

I don't have any other even slightly modern cordless tools, and so I'm starting from scratch. I'll eventually add some other tools, I'll get a grinder soon for sure but otherwise I haven't decide what else exactly. I'll primarily just be using them for household tasks, but I also do some welding for repairs and fabrication and the like, as well as mechanic work.

I don't think there will be too much of a difference between brands for my use case, and from my research this particular set looks pretty good, not the top end but not crap either, and the batteries seem like a particularly good deal.

But I'd like some second opinions, about this set in particular or other brands.
