For someone who hates gardening it works just fine. For a 2 Amp battery it lasts just fine. For 18 Volts it cuts just fine. Not bad, Ryobi, not too bad at all. Their OPE stuff is not too shabby, have the hybrid blower and trimmer, and the 18v mower. The be honest I haven't used them much because my wife uses them and doesn't give me a chance, which is fine by me! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Sears rewards purchase. Took a good chunk of the price out. Like to see how these compare to my DeWalt set.

Both of my Makitas.DTD154 and my subcompact.The Makita double ended bits are much better. They are pretty impressive. I had never used the Makita bits before.

They are great chisels. I have a bunch of Lie Nielsen socket chisels but these get used a lot too. I like the socket chisels because of the replaceable handles but these are well made English steel and hold a great edge for a long time. I didn't realize the Dewalt were made there too.

This will give me a few more sizes as well.the DeWalt are made in Sheffield England so they probably come from the same place. Haven't got a chance to check them out yet. I stopped by home to grab an apple while on shift. Will check them out more when I get home. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I was expecting a CCTV tester to come today but I also had an unexpected package show up too. Check this out! Ummm @rrich1 it wasn't supposed to be a trade! Thanks man! I really did want to grab another one of these, I like how wide they open compared to the regular Knipex diagonal cutters. Now I can keep one in my work bag too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Today I got the accessories in for my 788 scroll saw. The light kit, the lift, and the knobs all showed up, so as soon as my blades arrive, I'll be in business. The knobs are actually covers that slip over the shitty factory wing style knobs. These are made by a 77 year old scroller outside Atlanta named Marcus Bailey. Tracking them down was somewhat interesting. I found his contact info on a scroll forum. He has no website, no YouTube channel, and I'm not sure he knew what Paypal even was. He talked to me for at least 15 minutes about scroll sawing, dropped the knobs in the mail on the same day (Saturday), and accepted a personal check that I wasn't even going to be able mail until Tuesday. He was possibly the nicest man I ever met. He talked in that deep southern accent that you can't help but love and when I told him I wouldn't be able to get his check in the mail until Tuesday he said "Not a problem young man. I've never met a scroller that was a thief, so I trust ya". He upgraded my knobs and restored my faith in humanity at the same time. I could have had any of my machinist buddies make them for me, but I'm glad I didn't. The lift is another home grown solution. There are several options for 788 lifts, but I liked this one the best for it's easy operation and felt it had the most upside. The 788 is a joy to use compared to the cheap saws of my youth. I hate having it tucked away in a crappy corner, but until I redo my shop, it's the best option I've got. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
