  1. They have an M18 grease gun also if you didn't know and that one has 2 speeds I couldn't remember if you owned any M12 tools. Buying the bare tool is always cheaper. Yea your going to have to do a ton of greasing with the kubota tractor now https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/64053_10151709308674722_641509787_n.jpg That is a heatsink for the led light they need some passive cooling with the high output bulbs.
  2. Wow I never have see it at any of the Home Depot's near me guess its a regional item to stock in store.
  3. Thanks for finding the pic's Chase there are a few things we had not been posted online yet
  4. Yea they have the TTI portfolio to work with so their are saw designs the could adapt and build to a Milwaukee quality tool the Ridgid table saws are very nice. It might be that they are more focused on building tools for the electrical and plumbing trades. The only thing is they are only a good table and marketing a miter saw in stores as providing tools for the carpenter/general contractor side also. It looks like Milwaukee never really offered a table saw except for a Delta rebranded unit from years ago. I really like the idea of having a track saw or panel saw ill be honest table saws make me pucker up while using them.
  5. Conductor I was wondering if you had any Idea of why the Milwaukee miter saw is so poorly marketed, and just seems like a very fringe tool you never hear or see much about it. From what I have heard it's a nice saw, but its not sold or displayed in any stores.
  6. Would have been nice if they added the 1/2 inch chuck like the fuel, but then there is less of a reason to buy the fuel plus the brushed tool still has less power.
  7. That seems to be the trend right now is for smaller more compact radios instead of the big boom box style. I like my little m12 radio just wish it was more iphone friendly though with bluetooth or a real iphone doc, so you could control it from the radio it sucks having to open the case to change songs.
  8. It's nice they are giving them the new M12 fuel style grip the old M12 was kinda chunky as I have smaller hands.
  9. Festool pricing is out of this world. The other thing is like Hilti and Metabo you have limited service options they just don't have too many dealers in your area usually. I could buy a lot more tools for what one Festool would cost there are a ton of M12 and M18 tools I would like to get soon.
  10. If they didn't sell out they might have it back in a few weeks I haven seen the same deal a few times.
  11. I like my Bosch miter but not having any sort of cut line indicator is kinda lame on a fairly recently designed saw. I wish I could afford and justify a Festool Kapex miter but that's sick money it's a grand just for the saw.
  12. That's a pretty good deal for that saw at the moment. Plus the 780 has the cut indicator that's really nice it's better than a laser they have a review on the saw also if you want to watch it.
  13. It's hard to pass up a nice saw for a good deal. It's really hard to know what is the best deals that are up their in Canada like conductor mentioned prices are higher then they are down here usually.
  14. I do like how the slide mechanism on the Hitachi saw works it makes the tool easier to store. You cant really go wrong with the Ridgid saw with the LSA they are the best bang for the buck. The only thing is the dual bevel sliding 12" saws are big and heavy. I dunno how portable you need it too be it almost needs to be one of those portable stands.
  15. I wish home depot had more deals on tools I would like to buy It's always tarps, painting supplies, or cheap pneumatic tools every time I check it out.
  16. Used cooking oil is used for a ton of things from soap to cosmetics, lubricants, or made into bio diesel.
  17. Conductor just needs to convert it to run used cooking oil plus it's free to a good home plus I hear it smells a lot better than normal diesel smell. Also you can get a PTO generator that's nice for yard work and as a backup home power source. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/category_generators+pto-generators
  18. Congrats wish I had the acerage to need a tractor like that. A friend has the same model tractor he uses the hell out of it for projects around his house, but he uses a lawn service to cut his grass he's too lazy to do it himself. He really used the loader attachment a ton he want's to get an excavator attachment though really bad. Yea Kubota has a great dealer network. I have heard good things about the Minihandra tractors though also JD really not so much on the compact tractors there is something about JD green though that's makes it feel like country living though.
  19. I have the 12" Bosch slider with the gravity rise stand. Lowes had a deal where when you bought the saw you got the stand free so it was like paying only 299 for a 599 dollar saw. I really wish i had the Bosh glide saw you can have it right against the wall mine is like a tradition slider with the poles sticking out the back its a bit of a pain to set up a good work area in a tight space. I do hear a lot of good thing about Makita miter saws though.

    My New Toy!

    Which is the better jig saw the m12 or m18? I wish there was a comparison video on them. I think the M12 has more features and better ergonomics overall.

    My New Toy!

    Another tool that's on my I need too buy eventually down the road when I have the extra money.
  23. I haven't had any problems yet knock on wood.
  24. I would like to see a review on their SDS drill it gets decent reviews and I don't drill in concrete that often. I should be happy with my M18 fuel hammer drill It does pretty dam good for how much concrete drilling I do, but an real rotohammer is so much better I really should buy the bare tool version of the M12 or M18 sds drill I have more than enough batteries. 6 4.0 and 7 2.0. ah M18 batteries in total now.
  25. I know Dewalt has a ton of patents it's so common I would think it's not a patented idea, but maybe it is I'm too lazy to do a search on it . The other thing is not having the led's on the front allows you to have a taper to the shake of the tool it allows tighter access to areas. That's one other reason I though of.
