A bolt torqued to 250 ft/lbs takes more than 250 ft/lbs to break it loose. Static friction vs kinetic friction.

Yup $179 bare tool. Definitely buying it during the first promo. M12 Surge that has the same torque rating as the M18 Surge is a pretty big one. The long reach ratchets and high torque with extended anvil is pretty awesome. The remote spot light looks awesome but not too many people will need that one. Some nailers seemed to be a big hit. Bunch of new gloves, headlamp also. M12 right-angle die grinder looks pretty awesome too. Trim router also. The packout radio looks pretty good, 10 speakers, "2" subs...wish the extension cord was retractable instead of wrap-style, those always fall at an inopportune time.

M12 gen2 screwgun M12 Fuel quickchange coming to US M18 Fuel quickchange M18 Brushless, quiet fan pleasssse

What we're likely going to see is more production moving to Mexico, it's actually a pretty good solution. Some companies have done it in other industries and it's soo much faster to get things done and shipped, access quality control...and best of all, things are rarely lost in translation. It's worked for Proto(now that plant is owned by Urrea). They might even be able to get away with "Made in America" for several years. I've seen some Canadian companies use it, including a hockey glove company called MIA(Made In America) that is now owned by New Balance (under the Warrior name).

Finally posting in this thread because last December I picked up a 2018 F150 Platinum FX4, Max Tow, love the 36-gallon tank and all the bells and whistles...too bad it doesn't have the 2019 Limited's 3.5 EB HO engine!

Also if a tool contains a material that has been linked to cause cancer when that material is smoked in high doses, there's your warning. The worst part of all of it, some times the claims are real, sometimes they're real but under outlandish circumstances, sometimes they're based on studies with a small sample group and no REAL scientific evidence that supports the claim. California is pseudo science capital of the world, and that's pretty crazy considering some countries' cultures claim rhino horn, ground up mummies, vomit of sperm whales and other wacko stuff as aphrodisiacs

Literally everything in California gives you cancer.

It's held in by those jaws clamping together. It's an odd little setup but it does work...I had to look on youtube for videos showing the blade change, it was completely foreign to me also. You clamp it in on the top, then use the key to tighten the bottom. Then there is a lever that puts tension on the blade. The blades are the flat type, not the round type but apparently will work with the round type.

Gen 1 is 1/2-20, Gen 2 and 3 are 9/16-18 http://www.ecatalog.rohm-products.com/keyless-drill-chuck-extra-rv-28

Really wide but short trailer!

We call them a contour gauge in the US. They're also fairly cheap, under $10 at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Milwaukee is updating their clips: Dewalt is always slow on this kind of stuff, so expect it in a few years for team Yellow.

Happy to help!

eBay?? I've been trying hard not to bite on those, I don't REALLY need them.
