  1. Sounds like a plan. I will take a look at it this weekend and let you know. Thanks for the advice.
  2. I just bought a used kenmore. Everything works great, but it doesn't empty the water after it fill up. Any ideas
  3. They don't make them like they use to
  4. Dremel rocks. This looks pretty cool.

    Hello all~

    Hey Kate. Nice to have you here.
  6. Depends upon what you paid for the drill. It might be something as the forward/reverse switch not making contact, to the motor. If you plan on chucking the tool, I would take it apart and see how it is built, just to give you an idea of the workings of a drill. Who knows, you might see the problem and fix it. But if your going to trhow it out anyways, who cares if you mess it up.
  7. I have been using a Hilti drill for a couple years now. I had the same problem with some other manufactures. I work on a lot of old houses in the states and see a lot of plaster. Some of the "Professional" grades did not hold up well. I spent the extra money and went with a Hilti. They have a two year warrenty, repair cost limit and some other benefits. Its been about three years with no problems. I do blow out the gun after a heavy job. If the dust gets in these tools, it causes a heat built and burns out the tool rather quickly. Again it is more money, but worth every penny.
  8. Both Dewalt and Porter Cable are great routers. Bosch and Makita make a good one too. Since you are not using it a lot, I would go with a refurbished model to save some money, since it will be sitting on a shelf. Use the extra savings and get some good bits.
  9. Good choice. You will be happy down the road
  10. The 1/2" will allow you to use more bits. Both guns have the same the amps and the weights are about the same. The 1/2" gives you more capacity and more option for different bits. A mjority of home owners only really need a 3/8" bit. Some examples where a 1/2" has worked for me, I ran a line from my RO system in the basement to my freezer upstairs and the hole was 1", so I did need a 1/2" chuck for that bit. Again there are only a few times you really need the 1/2". Balance is huge when using a drill and the 115 model will allow you more control.
  11. Go with the dewalt 235. I like a bigger chuck in case you need the extra size. A 1/2" comes in handy for so many things. Don't worry about not having a case. I just bought a contractor bag
  12. I agree with oldman Simpson. For the price how can you pass it up, you might need it down the road. With a stand it's a great price especially if it is new
  13. That is what is great about SDS bits, you don't get this problem. You might just need a new chuck which is cheap and easy to install. After a lot of use and especially when a bit spins in the chuck, it tends to mess up the chuck or wear it down.
  14. Dremel is one of the best around. Great for a wide varity of applications.
  15. Dremel is King. Very tough tool. I know you guys have this geared or the review is for the home owner and I know Dremel is marketing towards the homeowner, but this is professional grade. How do you fit an elephant in the subway? Take the l out of elephant and the f out of way in subway
