  1. That's such a cool idea! It'd be awesome to have a phone do all that. If you're having trouble finding a brand making one, why not check out some apps or crowdfunding sites? You never know, the perfect gadget might just be on its way to the market. Keep your eyes peeled for tech startups too—they're always cooking up something new!

  2. Purchased a used DWS 780 Type 1. Saw is in need of some minor fixes, repairs, upgrades. Appreciate any input from anyone who has experience with this saw or similar model. Hello fellow Dewaltians, I’m a DIY hobbyist and I’m always on the lookout for affordable upgrades online and came across the beauty pictured in this post. I currently have a 10 inch Hitachi that has treated me well for 5 years, but I’m just limited with what I’m able to cut due to the smaller size as well as cuts that are always a degree off in each direction of the y and z axes, no matter how hard I try to tune her up. The fella getting rid of this saw was asking $200, I offered $150, he gave it to me for $125 since I drove an hour the next day to pick it up. He was a nice guy, up front and honest that the handle was missing all of the screws, but it seemed too good a deal to pass up over 7-8 screws and a missing carrying handle. Also, the power supply for the light is missing, but he did provide me with the actual light that works, just not installed, and an additional Switch Trigger. So, long story long, I need the screws for the handle (tried to figure those out from looking at the exploded diagrams online and I think I figured it out? But each screw is like $5… adds up quick), a light power supply, and potentially a carrying handle. I’ve cut with the saw several times already and she’s a real beauty, but the wiring work that is going on within my handle doesn’t resemble anything that I’ve seen online. When I watch “New Switch Trigger” or “New Light” installation videos for my model on YouTube, there is way less wiring, connections, and clutter going on within their handles and it makes me a bit uncomfortable as I’m just absolutely trash at anything regarding electrical work. For anyone who’s used this model is it worth it to have someone install the light and consolidate the wiring situation I have going on in my handle right now? Any feedback is appreciated and thanks for letting me join in on this community. I feel the best way to learn is from those who have real firsthand knowledge and experience with whatever field, tools, or studies it is that you’re looking to get into. Final note, I’m aware I can say “screw it, I’m bolting this sucker down and let’er rip!”, but I am attempting to move up from simple weekend projects to some more complex, quality furniture level builds that are going to require more capacity as well as really accurate cuts and I would rather just get this saw “right”. Of course that will involve getting the saw completely lined up and squared away, which I do feel comfortable doing on my own with the help of the almighty YouTube. Thanks again, Tanner

  3. Thanks much. The method I use is to double clutch during upshift, clutch in, shift first to neutral, clutch out, clutch in, neutral to second, works fine every time. For downshift, when I press the clutch, as I shift from fourth through neutral I blip the gas and smash it into third. Also works every time w/ a clunk. Without the gas blip it will be impossible to select a lower gear until the vehicle is stopped, w/ total gear grinding. Just added this Wiha 32967 Three Piece Pliers Set to the Fiat tool arsenal. This has a: 8" needle nose pliers; a 8" wire cutter and a 9½" Lineman's pliers. These have the Wiha 12 month no hassle guarantee. They have 1,000V insulation safety rating. These appear to have very nice construction.

  4. 12mm, one before 13mm. The metric sets starts with 6mm, and goes up to 13mm but missing 11mm sometimes depending on the brand. I think mostly Japanese brands make the 11mm as it is used in JIS.

  5. I agree, technology has a way of seamlessly integrating into our lives, becoming indispensable in no time. It's fascinating to see how rapidly the technology market is expanding, as mentioned by qgenda customer service. With innovations constantly emerging, it's only a matter of time before we find ourselves relying on these advancements more frequently in our daily routines

  6. Hello. everything finally came in and was delivered yesterday. Only need to decide on the flooring, since we bought the toliet this weekend. Its rather annoying when everything you like just happens to be the most expensive. <_< We gutted the upstairs bathroom. now the fun begins putting everything in.

  7. I actually ordered one of those online months ago; at the time, it came with a free M12 2.0 battery and charger. I won't say where I ordered it from, but apparently a mistake was made and I ended up having 3 BT speakers w/battery and charger instead of 1, so I sold one of them, kept 1 for myself, and gave the other to my now-wife. I think I'm going to stick with my black Makita AM/FM BT radio. That's the best-sounding radio outside of the huge Tough System/Power Box models I've heard and its footprint is a heck of a lot smaller to boot. I love Milwaukee but I couldn't believe how lackluster their most recent M18 radio was. In terms of features and sound quality it might as well have been released in 2010.
