Small over site on my part though and I'm sure it's been covered before but my 3.0/9.0 from the trimmer doesn't fit in the 20v blower. What about the battery doesn't fit, too wide?

dwasifar Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Today I got a dado set that actually fits my table saw: And, because of that, I also got an electrician's caddy: It's just fitted together at this point. I'm going to cut a few grooves for movable dividers before final assembly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it could be modified to work as it would just take a little trimming of the plastic stand but then it would still hang out the bottom.

The.Handyman Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It was a good birthday season, got a blower to go with my string trimmer. Small oversight on my part though and I'm sure it's been covered before but my 3.0/9.0 from the trimmer doesn't fit in the 20v blower. The 9.0ah fits. I use it all the time. It's a tight fit.

I tried and I swear mine wouldn't but maybe I'll have to try again. When you say tight do you mean like flexing plastic tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Well I'll be... when I got home I tried it again and it took some prying and flexing but it does get in there. I guess I have to retract my initial comment that a 9.0 doesn't fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok maybe I'm naive or a snob but to me the flat out best ratcheting screwdriver is the Snap On, 20 years ago I used one and spent 10 years finding one to live up to it only to decide to get my own. I've never tried a Wera but I'm very curious if it's similar or better. If nothing else... That's a damn good looking driver! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might spend the weekend screwing & unscrewing around to get a better feel for it. Curious to see how this holds up. But no doubt that Snap On is an excellent tool !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the spring on the shank came off often. Aside from that, absolutely awesome, super comfy grip, powerhouse of an impact gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggo74 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Finally saw the new Dewalt tape. Felt big but I'll give it a try. Needed a head light. Will see how this one works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see how this one works out. I like my Coast headlamp a lot. The only thing I don't like about it is the cheap plastic besel, mine fell off at one point. I glued it back on and it's been fine since. Mine adjusts brightness on the back, that's very much needed in a headlamp IMO...the only thing worse than too little light is too much light so your headlamp blinds you.

Needed a head light. Will see how this one works out. See how you like the hook on the end of that tape, for me, it needs to be taller and not so wide. That was everyone's complaint on the first round the Milwaukee tapes.. Mine pulls out with some force required, and i get the double coil spring design to make it more compact, just takes some getting used to. Plus the compact size is noticeable. My vinyl coating on the blade is fraying along the edges of the tape already and that "foil" badge peeled off pretty easy when i bumped the side of the tape and it made it pop off some. I think that was unnecessary and could have brought the price down. I like having measurements on both sides of the tape, and miss them on this one. The belt clip is awesome, the tape lock is pure genius, i like it, but find myself gravitating back to second gen Milwaukee with the magnet hook... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that bad, I can count the number of screws I drive in a month on my fingers at this point. Last time I pulled a driver out was early May.

Last time I pulled a driver out was early May. It reminds me of the old saying jack of all trades, master of none. I think the grip is one of the best ive ever held and the motor is super smooth, I find it kind of strange bosch doesn't come out with just a brushless impact driver. Apparently the current chuck is finicky and it isn't as compact as it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
