  1. David is right, You just have to watch out with Lithiums. Although don't keep nicads stored empty for extended periods
  2. Milwaukee makes a damn good tool. Good Choice
  3. WOW that is awesome. its like one of the first rotary tools I have seen! Great find
  4. That is a hard one. There is no marking or tag plate on it?
  5. Are you sure this radio has a 24hr time format? Mine doesn't and it does not say it anywhere in the manual?
  6. I do the same thing, just clean them with WD-40 when I am done. I have never had an issue. The key is to keep them dry. If your using them in a wet environment then that may be a different story!
  7. I have never even heard of that brand, have you tried http://www.johnsonlevels.com I would be leery of a product thats hard to find to purchase, imagine when you need service or warranty work it would suck.
  8. Hi Damien The one you posted is great too I would spend the extra $50 and get that one. Every tool has its critics. But you cant go wrong with the money for the Craftsman. Try it, if it doesn't work you can always return it. For the $$ its a good buy.
  9. With $200 I would go with the Craftsman 12 gallon http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00916640000P?sid=IDx20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=00916640000P For outboards and automobile tools your going to to need to maintain a lot of PSI to keep the tools running. Your going to need a big tank!
  10. I haven't tried the Dewalt yet. It looks like the dewalt is lighter, but less cutting depth compared to the makita and Milwaukee. Depends upon what your cutting.
  11. I have a Craftsman that isn't to bad. I have an older model. Great vac, but anytime I wheel it over anything, the wheels never make it and the vac falls over. Its a pain. I am sure the new ones might be better. I usually grab for my shop vac. Great power, quite and rolls over everything. As Mustang said the Ridgid is also good and you can find deals on them.
  12. I Spend 1 entire paycheck a month on tools. Some tools I don't even use. Its a sickness girls buy clothes, guys buy tools lol I LOVE TOOLS!
  13. There are adapters that will work. If you visit your local Home Depot, they should have something that will work for you. Having the proper cut off wheel should work better and is your safest route.
  14. A jig would be the best way to go since you are spending a lot of time making the tv cabinet. I am not sure of a good way to do it without a jog and still get a great hold.
  15. Good Question. I believe they are close to being the same. A right angle grinder is called that because of the position of the motor, which is at a right angle compared to the sanding disk. I believe they are interchangeable words, but I am not sure if it is like saying I need a Sawzall when you really need a reciprocating saw. I looked around and could not find anything. I found a couple sites that were selling the exact same tool. One site called it an angle grinder, while another just called it a right angle grinder. Now I am even more confused. There goes a peaceful nights rest.
  16. I love my Dewalt! I dont know much about the Makita though
  17. I have never heard of Generac, but I know those mini Honda gens work like a charm, but they are pricey. I am looking for a gen for our cabin right now. I would like to see a write up and video on the generac I need to hear how quiet it is. Toolsinaction guys are you listening??? Hint Hint
  18. Buy a real ladder. Don't buy one of these gimmick ladders. Ever seen the guy fall off the ladder on the home shopping network? It's on YouTube. It's not the ladders fault, but just made me think of it. Buy a real ladder. I know I wasn't much help
  19. Craftsman, ryobi or black and decker are all good. I never heard of I-drill. You can also cruise eBay and look for some good deals. I have a craftsman and like it. It's been pretty good to me. Most drills have a light and variable speed. The trigger is how you control the speed. I think all drills nowadays are variable speed, but I could be wrong
