They’ve been slowly getting craftsman for almost a year, OPE showed up first, over summer my stores near me had the tool reset which added the new cordless line up and mechanics tools. Other hand tools dropped in as well where Stanley used to take place Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love this build so much, how nerve racking was it cutting the drawer fronts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a pair of DEWALT paddles, for $100 they aren’t bad, they lack the anti vibration you get from a higher end grinder, routinely Metabo puts a pretty decent grinder on sale for around $85 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks awesome bro! Looks like the pup is enjoying the new deck too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That sucks, they usually have good displays to get a good feel for what your looking for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly I’d shoot over to a Rockler or Woodcraft if you have one and check out what they have, quite a few table set ups, the Incra are supposed to be pretty good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have to do some leg work and check your store out, manly Lowes clearance deals don’t pop up online until it’s too late Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s a bummer, definitely a tool that should run on the 60v platform Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most of Apex Tools have been outsourced to China and Taiwan, I beleive one of their last true American brands was starting to wind down US operations about a year ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like I mentioned in your other thread on batteries, the 6.0 is good for higher demand tools like an angle grinder where your really going to put the tool and battery though hell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also helps to take a punch to start the hole to prevent the bit from walking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 6.0 xr has the higher output cells versus the flex volt 2.0/ 6.0 running the older 18650s You will get more performance and runtime on the xr 6.0 because of those cells compared to a flex battery. If you go into the 3/9 FV they have HO cells in it. You won’t notice those too much in lower demand tools but in an angle grinder you’ll be able to push a little harder.

Could just be a lot code from that production load for tracking purposes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fairly routine happens a few times every once and a while nothing to be overly concerned about Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They worked great in drywall guns Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yo mike long time no talk bro! I don’t check in nearly as often as I used to, quite a few of us hit up Instagram pretty hardcore. How ve you been? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rapid drill Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Won a Rapid Drill on Instagram, pretty cool drilling jig, if you guys are interested I could create a thread with some more in depth pics and videos, basically attaches to your drill and is kind of like a mobile press, great for drilling through metal This is the slim model they also have a pro with a larger capacity Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you look on Wish there are several tools with questionable voltage I get a good laugh out of it, I’ll have to post some here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any route you go will serve you well, if your going to do a lot of carpentry Makita and DEWALT are great options, Dewalts a winner with its flexvolt line of tools, Makita is great as well I run a few of their X2 tools like the cordless Miter and track saw, very happy with it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My guess would be the switch behind the trigger is shot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Hitachi is surprisingly powerful, on my YouTube channel I reviewed it and it can handle quite a bit, I’d recommend upgrading to bigger batteries though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Removing that shouldn’t affect the integrity of the fence, I have the same saw Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Think they’re made in Germany too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
