We just finished playing around with the Paslode with rogersroofing.com and this is a great nailer. We are going to upload the video soon and the review soon.
-
All thoose sites are great websites. Toolsnob.com is another great website. A lot of great information. How do you like Harbor freight? Do the tools seem to hold up?

I am in the palatine area. We usually hit the berlands there
-
I posted it to our Dewalt site and found this out - Dewalt Batteries. They did shorten the "foot" to avoid the overhang w/ lithium batteries. The drill shell is pretty durable, I don't think you'll break it off.
-
Goog question. I am going to post it in the Dewalt Owners group forum and see what they say. I don't have that drill anymore, so I don't have anything to compare it to

Hey we are in the Chicago area also. Berlands is a great place. Do you live in the north or south suburbs? We spoke with Veto, they are actually making a new laptop bag. Not sure when they will come out, but hopefully they are cool.

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.

Holy Cow that is awesome. How long did it take to make? Do you have pictures of the inside? Do you have closer up pictures of the wood etc? Man you did a great job on that.
