There are a lot of cordless kits avaliable. It really depends what you need in the kit, what volt, what type of abttery system you are looking for and more. Personally I always buy my tools at http://www.tylertool.com. I have always had a great experience with them. I had to make a return one time and it was very painless. They have great prices, but I really like their customer service. If you can let me know what you are looking, I can give you a couple recomendations.

Looking forward to seeing it. Yeah I learned to take a little time to pick through the lumber, it helps. My first project, wow what a mess. The wood was all messed up, but I learned a lot.

Hello, There are a lot of good professional power tool manufactures out in the market. This site covers all the major professional power tools. It is hard to say which set to get because I am not sure your use and what tools you are looking for, but I will try to move forward. If you are looking to use power tools just for the home, I would go with Craftsman. They are light have great power and a great price. I have a couple of different power tools and have really beat up my craftsman and they still work great. If your looking for a work tool for your profession, I would go with either Milwaukee, Dewalt or Bosch. They are all great tools, but they all offer different combo sets and again, I am not sure what you are looking for. I would go to a home center and pick up the tools and see which one feel best in your hand. Personally I don't like the balance of the Dewalt drill, but most people do. However I love the feel of their trim saw. If you have more information, I can guide you in a better direction.

Personally I would use a two stage motor that is built for that. The connectors on a drill are not made to withstand that much use. You can by pass and wire as you said, but you will get corrosion and could even start a fire very easily. Persoanally they make motors for this idea you speak of. I would spend a couple of extra bucks and get something better

We have been trying to figure that one out for a while and can not come to a conclusion. There are also a couple of other models we are not sure. One company we are looking at is TECHTRONIC INDS because they have been quitley making tools for Craftsman for 8 years, but that is a china company

The extra amps will get a faster cut, but the most important item is having the right and a sharpe blade. I have a 6.5 dewalt and can rip through that pretty quick, but I guess it is all relevant. Before you take a look and just go buy a 6.5 amp, take a look at the stroke difference and speed. If your not jumping up much, you will not see a difference.

Good to have you. We are pretty close here and will will keep you up to date.

I see today Dewalt announced a new 36 Volt product line that will come out in 2006. Dewalt guy you had a post that was saying your Home Depot is not stocking as many Dewalt tools. Maybe you were right and they are cleaning everything up for the new 36 volt. We will have to see how they compare to the Milwaukee V28. I guess the 36 volt won't weigh anymore than the corded tools of the same type.

I looked into the tools also, but couldn't find out any information in the states. I will also let you know if I hear of anything.

I know we were talking the other day about craftsman. They came out with a lot of new stuff. If you go to craftsman site and sign up for the free newsletter, you can print off a 10% coupon and use it on your purchase. Just wanted to let you know since the last email talked about craftsman.

The main reason is acid. Pine trees produce a lot of acid and that’s why most of the time you never see grass under these trees, as grass doesn't like that much acid. If you want to take a quick route I would spread some lime down, rake it in, wait for the lime to do the work and then plant the seed. If you want to do it the right way, I would do the following. Some people might say to do an acid test of the ground, but you don’t have to. I never did and the grass looks great. If you want to do it the right way which will ensure good grass roots and a healthy grass, I would start by raking up the dirt under the pine trees, basically get the dirt loose. I would add about two inches of good quality top soil and mix it with the dirt all ready on the ground. Spread some lime into the dirt and rake it back into the dirt. If you want, you can spread a fine mist of water over the dirt to help start the lime work. Personally I would wait about a week and then put the grass seed in. Look on the back of the bag and the manufacture will let you know how often to apply the lime. You will have to continually add lime according to the manufacture, but your grass will be nice and green. If your grass starts to grow and it starts to brown, you might want to think about adding more lime.

I noticed the same thing by my Home Depot in Illinois. I know they just came out with new miter saws. My guess is that they wanted to clear everything out and make room for their new tools. I also noticed that the store by me is now carrying Hilti tools where some of the Dewalt tools use to be.

Awesome table. Even looks like you matched the stain perfect with the color of the floor. I see a lot of mission style tables with only a couple pieces of wood on the side, makes it look cheap. I like how you added a lot of wood on the sides; it really fills it out and makes it look professional. Love your website, great videos and funny pictures.
