  1. I see your point as there are always going to be tools we wish certain manufacturers would make. But I haven't seen a Dewalt panel saw to match Milwaukee's. Track saws hold no interest for me. I can cut a fairly straight line freehand and if I need it perfectly straight I use a table saw or clamp (or screw) a 4' T-square as a guide. Not saying track saws aren't great, just not great for me.
  2. Although not on the horizon just yet, Milwaukee may have a cordless compressor out before too long. Ridgid has made one that can use one or two batteries, is one gallon and has a max psi of 125. Fingers crossed......
  3. I'll second this. I mainly use it for cleaning sheetrock dust from baseboards after drilling holes and cleaning door tracks of elevators where I work. Small enough to fit in my tool bag when needed, quiet enough to not be a total nuisance. A little weak though. I'm at my local HD at least three times a week and on one hand I wish the HD by me had tool deals like @JimboS1icefinds, on the other I would probably be broke. Still nice to see the deals at least.
  4. I spent all the time I could outside building forts in the woods across the street, riding my bike with friends, catching anything that moved. When I was inside I was all about Legos and taking everything apart then putting it back together. About 1hr on Saturday morning was the only tv I watched, too busy otherwise. Don't know if my toys made me or if I gravitated to things I was naturally inclined to do. Good question though.
  5. Cart looks great. If it were mine I would paint the pegboard black. More importantly though it (I'm assuming) works for you. It's great when you can have both but if not I will normally choose function over form.
  6. I really like how many items are on casters. Looks like a great work area, clean and organized. Good job.
  7. Being here this morning and starting a thread you found something to do for a little bit. @Foneguysuggested something I have done on occasion. While in my shop I also sometimes clean up a little or do some routine/preventive maintenance on my tools. Maybe put on headphones and watch YouTube, no shortage of things to watch there.....
  8. I am soooo buying this. Working in apartments I use a toilet auger weekly. Will be interesting to see how it breaks down for cleaning and cable replacement. I keep my current auger in a yard waste bag because it doesn't easily disassemble for cleaning and tends to stink. The Ridgid ones last me about a year.
  9. Great idea! I prefer to keep my tools put away due to the amount of dust (wood and paint) in my shop. Right now I have my sanders in a deep file cabinet drawer and it's a pain. Love your idea.
  10. I wonder if this will pair with an app that does layout. I've seen flooring estimators that use a Bosch unit that connects via Bluetooth to an ipad and the app quickly makes (with a little help) a diagram of the interior of the house. I could see where this would be useful to me in estimating amount of baseboard, crown molding or for a kitchen layout.
  11. That's a good little vacuum. Mine has seen a lot of use for three years and is still chugging along. It has been $99 for as long as I can remember so $25 off isn't too bad.
  12. Although I'm not invested in Dewalt, what I see in your pictures makes me happy. Giving your tools a dedicated place in your home, arranging them nicely for pictures and starting a thread to show them tells me you're glad (maybe proud) to have them. Treat them well and they should do the same for you. Good job...
  13. This style has always worked best for me. I tended to abuse the top and have also, like you, just changed the plywood. Mine did have 2 locking casters though. No eye candy or anything fancy but no worries of damaging it either. I miss it.
