Hi guys, I'm in the market for a good copper tube cutter. I've been in situations where I couldn't cut a tube properly (close quarter, too close to a wall...etc...) and the hacksaw blade isn't the best solution. I know the Milwaukee rotating cutter is amazing but I'm looking for a hand tool, not a power tool (not yet..hahahah) So far, I'm considering the ones below: http://www.nerradtools.com/index.php/cutters/nt40#nt4023 http://www.beta-tools.com/catalog/articles/view/331L/__lang_en/__catlang_en/__catalog_beta/__filters_ I know the two above have been rebranded and rebadged to death. I don't really know who is the OEM manufacturer but I'm open to any suggestion !

Next tool choice dictated by the manufacturer your already own ?

Hi grumpy, I think the Festool impact driver has been discontinued -

hemdale replied to hemdale's topic in Power Tools
Thanks guys. Focusing on the main tool makes perfect sense. So far, 100% of my cordless powertools are Festool. I have a Mafell corded jigsaw so that doesn't count. Don't really know why but I have a soft spot for: Makita, Bosch, Festool and Mafell. Never been a huge fan of Dewalt (don't like yellow [emoji53]) or Milwaukee -
Or Home Depot [emoji28][emoji56][emoji56][emoji56]

Hello everybody, Well the title sums it up. Let's say I'm in the market for a jobsite light, a radio and an impact driver. Let's say I will go for a Makita impact driver, would that push me to take advantage of the batteries then buying a Makita radio and a Makita light since I'll be able to swap the batteries ? The same process would apply to any manufacturers. I would like to avoid buying 3 tools and ending up with 3 new chargers [emoji53] but what are the odds ? Shall I get a tool a really like in the first place or try to stick to ONE tool manufacturer ? I'm a bit puzzled. [emoji43] Thanks for your help and input.

I'd go fro the Makita 2012 NB

Are they still US made ? -
Got these when I'm working on some heavy duty applications : http://www.uvex-safety.com/en/products/safety-glasses/safety-eyewear-goggles-glasses-spectacles/model/37/modelName/uvex-ultrasonic/ and those for regular tasks: http://www.bollesafety.us/en/safety-spectacles/cobra-cobfspsi

Hi guys, I'll be visiting a friend in Boston from 14 until 18 june and then going to NYC from 19 until 21 june. Because of some crazy legal / OSHA certifications BS , and so on, they are not sold in Europe. I heard very good things about Keen work boots and I would like to give 'em a try. If you had a good experience with any of their models, let me know. Alternatively, if you have any good tools / hardware / workwear stores you would recommand in the Boston and NYC area then I'm all ears ! Many thanks. H

Too bad I don't have any Hitachi tools but I'd love to give this radio a try. However, the Bosch radio GML 20 / GML50 is really growing on me.

Yeah, you can't beat 3M. I have a Peltor 3 myself. A bit heavy but the absolute best when I'm using high pitch / high volume machines. If I had to do it again, I'd probably take the Peltor 2 which would be enough I think

I know that Mafell power drills are nothing more than rebranded Metabo's, so my guess is that Metabo should be rather good, Mafell not willing to take any risk on that. Having said that, I wouldn't go for a Metabo power tool except for their grinding tools...they have Uh-Mazing grinding tools lineup.

Ear protection means...ear protection, meaning absorbing certain sound frequencies and high dB. Headphones don't and won't do that and you'll be deaf in no time. Do yourself a favor and get a something decent from 3M: http://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/All-3M-Products/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Hearing-Protection/Safety/Worker-Health-Safety/?N=5002385+8709322+8711017+8711405+8720539+8720546+3292438133+3294857497&rt=r3 or: http://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/All-3M-Products/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Hearing-Protection/Safety/Worker-Health-Safety/Banded-Earplugs/?N=5002385+8709322+8711017+8711405+8720539+8720546+8720745+3292438133+3294857497&rt=r3
