I have the C3 for around the house and I like them. No problems. I just don't think they need any of the little guys to spread the word, everyone knows craftsman. I would buy the C3, great set and you can be happy with them raiders.

Good question and thanks for the kind words about our site. Personally I like the Makita system. The tools are great, good balance and a great value. They have some kits that have everything you need to get started. Another thing to look at closer is what other tools a company offers that can be added onto the kit. So down the road if you want to get a jigsaw, do they offer a cordless jigsaw? Some companies are very good about having other tools available. Also I would take a look at the Milwaukee systems.
Also I sent you a couple of links of where some more specific kits that might be good. Also the link I sent, sign up for the email updates. They have some good savings and keep checking it once a week as the deals change. I put my contact information in the email if you need more help.

8 1/2 will be light and would make a great saw. That would cut most anything except larger boards and certain molding.
-
For a miter saw I would either go with a Makita or Dewalt. Perosanlly I would go with a 12 inch sliding miter just because it makes trim a snap, but it stinks haulling it around. A 12" compound would also be fine if your not doing trim or larger diameters.

I have the normal 3x21 7.5 and love it. I would go with that one becuase I know it works great and haven't had any problems

You will be fine with the replacement blade. I had the same problem with a no name version and bought one 1/4 difference and it was fine. I think the manufactures give room for play.

I belive it is the same as the white, just a different color.

Hey, It looks like when your forum was offline, google did a search on your site and now left out the forum. I always tell my clients to go to Google and search "power tool forum" to ask any questions or learn more. I check it today and you use to be number one, now it is not listed. The main site is listed under that search tern about 7th down, but not the forum. I would wait for google to search your site again and then the forum should pick back up and start getting good. I noticed the forum was just getting ready to take off again. I will keep pushing the site for you as I love this site and it really helps with clients.

I would check the ground wire or any of the other wires. Something has to be touching the cassing to cause a shock. I had an old metal drill, yes it was very old. I had the same problem and it turned out one of the wires were loose and hit the side of the case.

This sounds like a good idea. Would like to see what the admin has to say and what his thoughts are on this, but it sounds good to me. How would you pick the winners or how would that work?
Again would like to hear the admin thoughts.

My friend has the same charger with the same issue. His charges fine and doesn't have a problem. He said it has something to do with the way it charges. He thinks the lite will onl;y go on once the cells far away are not charged.
The new systems has 30 cells and the idea of this new system tries to charge all cells. Once a bttery is placed on the charger, after time it might onl;y charge the closer cells and leave the last cells uncharged. The new charger detects this flaw in batteries and therefor once it sees the full 30 cells are not charged evenly, the turtle will come and and slow charge or trickle charge the batter, so they are all even. He was saying once the battery dies down, then you will see the turtly light go on. In the mean time, the light should stay off.
Hope this helps.

I would love to see the pictures when you get done. Thanks for sharing it with us

I have an old fuse box that is 60 amp. We are upgrading to 200 amp service. What would a good panel be or what should I get.
-
Great question. A while ago I went with a cheap tool box and was very upset with my decision. I didn't do a lot of research and after the fact once all my tools where insyide, I relized the slides sucked, which made it hard to open. Persoanlly I would go with the Craftsman because of cost, just make sure the droor slides are nice bearing and not metal on metal. I know Craftsman makes the droors with nice slides because I ended up buying the nice one and love it. I would rather save the extra 10K from the Mac and buy some really nice tools. Unless you are a mechanic or something, save the money and buy the Craftsman.

The amps will help, but most jigs are made to make certain cuts. A cicular saw would be a lot better cutting a straight line. If your making another type of cut only a couple of times, I would use the jig saw you have. If your looking to make a lot of cuts over a longer period of time, I would upgrade.
-
I agree with everyone else. It can be done, but is the risk worth it.

Hey it looks like Kailor has started to make some post and contribute. Why don't you get him on the mailing list and send him some of the coupon, that is if your still getting them.
-
Hey carp, just happen to stop by and say you were on.
I agree with you , I love the Bosch. I had a dewalt and didn't like the feel, it was probably a good grinder, but I ended up trading it for a drill and went out and bought a Bosch grinder. I am not sure which model I have, its at a jobsite right now. I wouldn't recommend this, but I left it out over night and it sleeted and then snowed that night. Forgot about it and remebered a couple of days later. Brought it in and let it warm up. Believe it or not, I pluged it in, once it dried, and it worked. Didn't even get electricuted. Still like the Dewalt drill, but I will always go with a bosch grinder.

I like some of their safety stuff. Fits nice

Good to know. Christmas is comming up and that would mnake a great gift for someone. Thanks
-
I agree with Kailor. Thanks for getting the forum back up. Hopefully people know its out there. Once people see this is out there it will grow. I haven't found anything like this before. Thanks again
-
Its nice to see the forum back up. To answer your question, I think the Milwaukee 0302-20 (They might have a newer model) is a good drill for this. I amnot sure if it is the best drill, but I have done that for a long time and never had any problems with the drill. It is an 8.0 amp and it mixes with ease.

Hey drywall man. Good to have you. We will send you an email that is part of our group. We have a couple of guys who are product testers and one of the guys owns a hardware store, so he always get awesome coupons for deals. Plus once you get to know him, you can get tools for really cheap. Even cheaper than eBay. Just keep your eyes open for the email.
-
I receieved you email today and think that would be a great idea. I don't know anything about computers or websites, but I would be willing to help and write either an article or if you have a rating system I will rate all the tools and right a paragraph on each.
