Eric - TIA

Just got this nailer today and looks awesome. We are going to head over to one of our local roofers and give this badboy a workout. Its been a long time since we did a nailer, so this should be fun.

Looks like a great sander. Bosch makes some good sanders. Your not joking about the reviews. Looks like everyone likes this one.

Looks like a cool idea. Never used one, so not sure if it is built well or worth the money. Seems pratical.

I think I know what you mean. Do you have a model number so I can make sure?

We are working on getting those tools you mentioned above. Hopefully we can get on the tools soon.

Our Home Depot had a couple on clearance, so picked some up. They are cool little cases. I use a couple for my bits in different bags, but also have them in my trucks for little odds and ends such as change.

We want to test the laptop. Do you have one?

We have still been using this set on the jobs and still working great. So far tend to like the Dewalt 12V the best, just wish they had more in the line up.

How old is the breaker or do you have a model number?

I took the survey, hope it helps

Yeah I noticed the local small hardware store seem to have a better selection for those type of screws than the big box stores

I don't have pictures, but I have seen people do this with their table saw. Usually the table saw expands, certain ones. I have seen people build a small table that will fit into the table saw and that way they can use their router or jigsaw and use the fence from the table saw. Not sure if I explained that clearly

I would go with the Veto Pro Pac. As you stated there are other manufacturers out there, but Veto is the best we have tested. It does have a little more weight to it, but it is truly a trade off, more weight for more protection. In regards to the XL, I would pass that one up if you are looking for something to carry your laptop and clipboard. Veto makes a computer bag that might work. It looks like it is like the XL, but on one side, it is designed for paperwork etc and the other side is for tools. We haven’t tested that bag yet, but we hope in the near future.<O:p</O:p

A picture will help, so will wait for that. Since space is not an issue and a tight fit or crimp would be better, i like the knipex. I like that you can set the pliers and get a more consistant crimp, plus they look like they will hold up better. In regards to the nails, can you throw up a picture. You can do it in this thread. Its hard to find some good quality screws and nails now a days. Sounds like you need something that will last for a long time.

Its hard to say, they both seem to have some pros to them. Do you have a picture of what your trying to and the space your trying to get into. The one from bonaanza seems to be cool because you have a screw and can not tighten down to hard with the pliers. Seems like the screw prevents that which could be good. On the other hand Knipex are great pliers, but the head is big and not sure if that will prevent you from getting into tight spaces. Just hard to tell without seeing what your actually doing.

Not a bad idea. Sounds like it would work. If you had electrical tape on the pliers would it still allow you to grip and keep stable what your trying to do?

Se, eutotool and stanly make nylon pliers that should work. They are real pliers made of steel and have a nylon cover for the pliers. They are made for metal bending, eyeglasses etc. That should work. Go to amazon and type in plastic pliers and They have some that would work.

I am pretty simple. A lot of people look for various features such as wheels to move the saw, a saw that is not loud etc. I figure I can always add wheel if I plan on moving it, which I really don't move mine much. The main things I look for are a nice big table top. I want something heavy so when I run plywood or something big through, the saw stays in place. The third thing I want is a good fence that is very accurate and locks down where I want it and stays in place. The last thing is a powerful motor. Anything else is just a bonus to me. do you have a local home improvement center or woodworking store by you? Check them out. A home center will only have a couple saw, which it always seems like lowes has the most variety compared to home depot or at least by me. Go play with them and see what fits your needs. You might find out that you don't like the saw we spoke about, maybe you like the hitachi or something else. It's a big expense.

They are all good saws. As long as you keep your blades sharp, the motor should last no matter what saw you get. I have worked with a grizzly and steel city and liked them both. Tables were nice, accurate cuts, except when I messed up. The steel city had a lot of use and still ran well. Not sure how many hours were on the saw, but my buddy who owns it does stuff a couple of times a week on the saw without any problems.

There are a lot of great hybrids on the market today. We have never tested a Sawstop, but they have a very cool safety feature. Not sure how well the motor or the system is built. Jet, Dewalt, Delta are all good saw, plus a few extras. Personally I like the Jet as they have a lot of different models to pick from and you can find one in your range. Craftsman has a couple, but I owned one and the motor went out pretty quick. Maybe just a bad motor, but never the less. Most hybrids are prety close to the same with some small differences, but to me I like a saw that has a guide fence that truely locks down tight. Nothing worse than being off a little on each cut.

The Dewalt 12V max has some pretty cool tools. So far we have liked them even though we haven't seen the longevity of these tools. The 10.8 were great tools and has some toughness to them, so we don't see these being any different. We just finished the review of our Dewalt 12V max Screwdriver

I am going to look through some of our old articles that we never posted and see what I can find. In the meantime here is a link we posted a while back about ladders. We found the artcile and made a post. This article talks about the differences between ladders

It might be the safety switch, which I can not think of the name right now. If everything work except the water draining check that first. It could be something else, but my guess is the switch. Under the lid, you will see a small rod, when it shuts, it looks like it goes into the washer and pushed down a lever. This tells the machine that the lid is closed and can move to the next cycle. First make sure the rod is there before you do anything, make sure it didn't break off. Next put it to the cycle where the water should drain. Open the lid and put a screw driver in the hole where the rod should go and press the lever down. See if this starts the washer spinning and the water should drain. If still nothing happens, look for a schematic of your washer. Under the top of the washer is where all the electronics are located. In the schematic, find the electronics for the safety switch. Use a piece of wire and by pass the switch, if it works now, you need a new safety switch which you could probably pick up off eBay. Let me know what you find out. If that still doesn't work, we can did deeper.

Do you need another pair of hands? Let me guess your friends are quick to use your truck, but never around when you need a little help. Take a look at our review of the Rockwell Jaw Stand? Do you still need friends? Let us know what you think.

We reviewed the Dremel Trio. Great tool to have around as it has a lot of different uses. Have you own or have you tried the Trio? Is so, let us know what you think.
