  1. That is a really good deal. Wish they had it when I bought my clamp meter.
  2. I kinda knew about Hilti tools, but I had no idea about other companies like festool or metabo. It's great for them they now have a larger market now plus the other brands are not considered a premium tool like the used to. It's like black and decker older guys know of it as being company that put out some good tools, but I think of it as homeowner to light diy grade tool.
  3. I think the problem is tool companies forget about the little thing called the internet. Now it lets consumers be more informed about what kind of tools and brands that are out there. Look at how many brands we know about now than say 10 years ago. You were at the mercy of what a big box store stocked, or if you lived close to a store that only sold pro grade tools.
  4. This video is so cool and yet so relaxing it's amazing how automated things were yet they still needed a whole lot of man power to run everything.
  5. Some drill kits are now only being sold with one battery, but that's done to keep the price under around 100 bucks.
  6. No one really sells the hitachi nailers in store around here It's paslode or nothing at least in stores around here.The new lithium paslodes work much better than the nicad versions.
  7. Well it turns out the new tool is a brushless version on the M12 sds they just just released. The original tool didnt stay in production too long.
  8. I love watching the video's which is why I hate to mention this, but it seems really slow lately with the number of updates. Unless i missed it there hasn't even been an M12 fuel review yet which surprised me. I know it's not the busiest time with releases but some major tools haven't had reviews yet. I just kind of wondered what's going on.
  9. Not much changed from the 18v to the 20v except it uses the the 20v batteries. This should have been released during the second wave of tools, or an interim model atleast people really loved the fact that it could run off their power tool batteries. Back in the day that was huge when the old alkaline batteries were expensive.
  10. It seems nice except the local HD stopped stocking it in store It's not a tool most people are going to need, and even know they work the same way it's a lot more expensive than the craftsmen auto hammer.Toolslect has a review of it though I don't think the TIA guys ever did a review of one. If not sorry Dan and Eric for posting another sites link.
  11. I dunno from watching Top Gear the Health and Safety people would freak out on the things that go on at most american job sites that are osha approved. When they resurfaced that one road on the show they had backup cameras and a guy both making sure people were safe. If wayne can correct me if i'm wrong but paslode has the Im90 which isn't even sold here paslode has a few tools they don't sell in the usa anymore for some reason like the positive placement nailer which would be huge with all the brackets and tie's you need to install on roofs even more so down in the tornado and hurricane prone area's.
  12. Menards has just started to open some stores around me in Metro Detroit. The store is still pretty far away though.
  13. On windows 7 with firefox No pictures show up and if you click they link I get taken to an error message page that says I don't have permission.
  14. Yea the only thing It's expensive as hell but it seemed from the few video's I saw it hit just as hard as a Paslode.You might save money long term by not having to buy fuel cells though also I hear they are a bitch to deal when it's cold paslode should have put a small electric heater to keep it warm when it's needed.
  15. Yea I dunno If they came out with a Framing and Trim nailer this soon it would really piss Dewalt off they delayed that 20v framing nailer till 2014.
  16. Conductor will love you for mentioning that he's been wanting an m12 rivet gun bad. The reason I'm really thinking it could be a trim nailer the market for a pure battery operated one is empty you have the senco fusion, but it's not stocked in any store at least around me.
  17. I saw this on Milwaukee's facebook page they were asking for people to guess what this tool is I said it might be a trim nailer for the m12 fuel line. What do you guys think it could be? http://www.facebook.com/MilwaukeeTool?ref=stream
  18. I think this is why Dewalt hasn't released one because he multi tool market is saturated, but its still kind of shitty thing to do to people that do have the 20v battery platform they have the PC18v all they need to do is change the plastic on the outside to yellow and accept the Dewalt battery pack.
  19. Think you might have posted in the wrong topic there Conductor I was wondering sitting there for a second trying to figure out what you were saying then I remembered the multtool thread.
  20. Just sucks when you buy one thank god for the 90 day return policy most power tools have now.
  21. The corded version is priced ok, but the corded one is priced out of this world I'm sure its a great tool.
  22. They do but its 500 bucks. http://www.toolking.com/fein-afmm-14-cordless-multimaster-with-case-and-accessories/
  23. The topic should say what happens :/ not what happend's I hate when I make mistakes.
  24. I know they either keep or give away most of the tools they review, but I just watched the Husqvarna lawnmower review how does that work out do they just get a review model to have for a short time? I just wonder how it works on some of the bigger more expensive items they review. I know some of the reviews are on tools that they also bought out of pocket. Don't worry I'm not calling you guys out on any issues with journalistic integrity or anything like that just curious on how it works.
  25. No it's the not the stig but it is the stigs's American tool reviewing cousin.
