  1. What @BMack37 said ? I hate nicad, my work flashlight runs a nicad rechargeable battery. After a year it was useless. They are cheap though. Are Craftsman 19.2's backwards compatible with their lithiums?
  2. Hahaha the only mods on my 16 are the chrome decals have all been blacked out. No need to mess with perfection ?
  3. I like it. A lot more organized
  4. Ordered mine from the U.K. It's not available here yet. I got mine from Axminster.
  5. Yes it does. The plastic tabs kept it from scratching but yeah, it does.
  6. Also got the Bosch rotary. Love it and the light is super useful. Way better than my old M12 rotary.
  7. Nice score bro! I hope you got it for a song!
  8. I've got this bro, pretty slick set up actually. I like it.
  9. Welcome to the forums dude
  10. I do, I wired my whole shop with them. They've held up pretty good for me, I'm not a pro electrician but they are a lot better than my last stripper.

    I hope Jeremy, James and Richard are getting kick backs. That is CLEARLY plagiarism ? The Eagle-i-Thrust is the basis for this machine....
  13. I own the DCLB720 blower and the DCHT820 hedge trimmer. The blower is designed for work site cleanup but I used it over the spring in the yard and it did pretty good. My Ego blower is more powerful but the Dewalt did great moving lawn clippings, loose leaves etc. The hedge trimmer, is the best one I've ever owned. It's fantastic, power house, the batteries last forever and it cuts some pretty large branches. I have historically used the 5.0 batteries with both tools but recently started using my flexvolt batteries in both and they last forever.
  14. Agreed, go with what feels right though setting 1 is kind of a real pita unless your doing some special fasteners and want that really light touch
  15. @natbea09 Welcome to the forums bro! No worries asking questions, that is what the forum is all about and we all start somewhere. When I was first getting into woodworking and building and repairing my first home I found this site after watching Erics demo of the Makita LXT211 kit. I learned a lot, asked a lot, and now when I retire in a little over a year fro, the New Hampshire State Police, I will more likely than not get into building and custom cabinetry. Quite the start just watching a few videos and asking some basic questions. I have the DCD997 and the 887. Generally speaking I use the impact for driving lags and what not, that 887 is huge powerhouse and would easily pound that speedbore but it also is impacting the boring tool and could damage the Irwin as well as cause some serious chip out to your project piece. The 779 will have plenty of torque to eat through the wood and give you a cleaner blowout on the back side. Plus give you more control. What is your opinion of the tools? I am a huge fan of Dewalt and have several of the tools as well as some of the flexvolts. Anyways, continue to ask away, don't worry about your experience. We have pros on this site as well as hacks such as myself. This is a great place to learn from pros and guys and gals who have figured out what's right and wrong when it comes to power and hand tools. Chris.
  16. Yeah Festool uses them for the cordless variants.
  17. I have that and it's awesome. I actually paid $59 at the beginning of the summer as a special one day deal. Great ladder and at 109 it's totally worth it.
  18. Yeah, those guys down under cannot be trusted! They are a criminalist colony for Pete sake!!!

    Baby!

    Congratulations bro!!!!! Awesome!!!!
  20. I've go that impact gun and absolutely love it. Good for you bro!
  21. Darn straight bro. One way to look at it, regardless of profession, if you have an investment in tools why not organize them in a fashion that works? On the professional level, look how happy your clients will be when they see organization and not chaos all over the place.
  22. That's scary! Now I know I need a cup of coffee ?
