  1. Ryobi makes a full size but o have a Dewalt that runs cordless and ac plus a little Bosch 12v
  2. Welcome to the forums!
  3. Screw all of these mild suggestions. Date appropriate, watch Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Field artillery always wins. It’ll be loud but hey…very explosive 🧨 door knocker.
  4. So without trying too hard to sound like a dolt…I don’t know. I have compact Dewalt trim router but most of my routers are larger, Festool Bosch and PC units. I would gander at this and say for a dust collection shroud? My Festool has something similar to the one pictured. These are normally a slide on and turn unit that you can then attach a hose but I don’t have this particular router
  5. Normally I’d say ream it out but…those little palm routers are designed for smaller bits and get out of control with a wider diameter bit. Plus making the base plate hole larger doesn’t increase the size of the base which could make it more dangerous to handle with a larger bit. Hope this helps! Chris
  6. Holy cats, no kidding right? Just read an article on the benefits and negatives to EVs and apparently carry’s through to lawn care.

  8. I think that is smart. Having said that, I have a simple safe at home. Any measure for firearm security is a home run when it comes to an affirmative defense against litigation. And to add to story telling, a local Police Chief in New Hampshire was found guilty of a firearms violation when his son took his duty weapon and committed suicide. The poor guy lost his son, and was found in violation of law (being a cop opens you up to higher standards, a normal citizen would not have been dealt with as harshly - we should know better). The reasoning for the charge was the Chief’s weapon was hanging on the wall in his security holster on his gun belt. Lousy lousy lousy lousy situation. I really felt bad for the Chief AND the investigating Officers. You had said something about politics in law enforcement. Our County Attorneys are elected officials. NOT appointed. Need I say more?
  9. Also please don’t take my thoughts as insult. They are meant as supportive guidance with a lot of background. You are military and have done great things in service to our Country. When it comes to suit most people don’t care.
  10. Dude, seriously, get one. A lot of people don’t understand civil liability and it goes as far as weapon security. If for instance, you park your car in a parking lot and someone breaks in, stealing a firearm. Most courts will hold the owner of the firearm liable for civil responsibility. So yeah…some educationally challenged, EDP, discriminated subject, from a bad home with a bad upbringing, drug addiction, etc etc etc, breaks into your car. Steals your firearm. Shoots some poor person during a robbery attempt. The firearm is located, an investigation ensues, most LE Agencies will not go after the gun owner however… A litigious citizen (or non citizen- yeah they have rights too) files a wrongful death suit and Shazam. You owe money. I’ve heard people bitch about using a gun for home security and shooting some PoS dead on their property and most cases across the USA are considered justified having said that, the aforementioned weapon security can get you in a bowl of hot fudge real quick in civil court and civil suit for a justified shooting can and Will too. Having said that after thirty years of public service (25 as a Cop)… better tried by 12 than carried by 6. Especially when my family is at stake.
  11. For what it is worth, I sold my 887 for the 850 as an impulse because I wanted that ultra compact. So far not too impressed. Serious chuck wobble. Great power, and the size is ridiculous but that chuck is pretty iffy. I won’t lie though it is crazy small. I have been running the new power stacks on the 850 and makes for a really small footprint but the wobble is pretty noticeable. I can work with it but it is noticeable.
  12. Uh yeah. In 2022 would be thieves and burglars have no problem being litigious too. Remember, everyone has value.
  13. Plus retirement is great especially at my age but I’ve got a 5 year old and a 2 year old to watch out for so until I get off my lazy bum when my daughter goes to kindergarten tool purchases have slowed Wayyyy down!
  14. Ends up I have quite a few Festools in my shop, including the Ts55REQ. I have a 110, 2 55’s and a 55” LR32 rail already. I would’ve loved the 75 but to no avail, it Aint available. Glad to hear you love it, o can’t wait to give it a go!
  15. That’s too bad @Jonathon I have had mine for maybe two years and love it. I just finished a flooring and trim job and used it exclusively over my Bosch barrel grip 7.2. I wish I could comment on the blade but get that sucker to warranty. Interestingly my 16ga dewalt nailer which got nearly no use over five years is not working at all, the bolt keeps sticking! My second Dewalt nailer to fritz out. And I love Dewalt! WTH?!
  16. If it comes from the manufacturer then yes but if it doesn’t I label and am fine
  17. Depends on the tools. Outdoor tools in my shed. I have a trailer for working remotely but my shop has all of my tools in it.
  18. Too bad it took Dewalt so long to finally get one out. I have the Milwaukee M12 and it performs flawlessly, I had not idea they were in the works for one but I won’t bother now.
  19. I’d still help people. It’s my make up. Drives my Wife nuts but alas. Would I take an undue risk? No. I am 51 with a 5 year old son and a two year old daughter. I would never stop on the highway for a crash if my family is with me, I would never stop a robbery of my family was with me. But if you are asking if I calculate risk vs reward in assisting someone - yes. Regardless if my kids are with me or if I am on my own. Much like 25 years leo, my safety always comes first.
  20. I was a rescue worker, no issues there. I was doing my job helping someone in need so I never really thought anything negative about her. Still don’t, but climbing mountains can be a real pain in the a$$ nowadays
  21. I hate to admit it but I got the teeter table. That friggin commercial irritates my bowels. Having said that I was injured when I worked fire rescue ems back in the early 90s and just retired after 25 years leo. Gun belt, vest = back shot. I go to the chiropractor when I can but the inversion table helps a lot. A lot. Also hurt my hip back in 91 pulling a pregnant lady out of wrecked car. My femur head on my left side popped out of the hip and then reset and laid me right down. I’m 51 now and that hip has gotten worse and worse. When it bugs me, i invert. I cannot recommend that darn table enough and have even convinced a couple of guys on the job to get one.
  22. Welcome to the forums and I have some Ryobi in my shop as well. Very happy with what I have/
