That's pretty nice. If you ever need a repair kit, make sure you get warranty through a dealer. The repair kit is more than what you paid for the whole kit.

I'll stick with stabila.

Seriously pal! I thought this same thing! It would sell like ice tea in hell
No kidding!! I would own one!

Had a problem with a Recon i bought from CPO. It was a milwaukee DryCut with a Retail of 650 + change. I guess the repair shop never took the time to find out what the problem was and just set it to CPO to sell. I got it with a striped worm gear on the vice. Took it in for warranty and got it back a month later with a brand new vice.
I know they fixed it under warranty with no cost to me, but i'm still pissed that they didn't fix it right the first time and i ended up having to deal with the problem.

Great setup!

WTF?
Whats wrong with people now days?

All that can be done with basic with very basic tools. As you know foundations are the most important step. I use a builders level, but you can get away with a quality rotational laser level to shoot your level strip. Quality 4 foot level is a must. 100' tape to make sure you're square if not going off a pin.
Circ saw
recip saw
nail sack
Other basics to stuff in the nail sack. A few string lines. Chalk line, framing square.
Doesn't take many tools to wack up a quality stick shack.
Now if you want to do it quickly, add a coil and spiker to the list.

make sure your better half is in one of them. >

I've been in the building trades a lot time, bro. The problem with the industry is guys like us are a dime a dozen. I started off in the auto trades and moved to carpentry/contracting. Now going back to wrenching. There is way more money in it and "most" things are easier on your body.
Quality ratchets and sockets should be the base of your list. Wrenches and screwdrivers next. These basics will let you making a living while you add more tools with each paycheck.
If you go the other route, just slap on a nail bag and get to it! lol

Great review!
I think i'm going to have to pull the trigger on these. I don't use screwdrivers often ( fuel screwdriver gun with clutch ) but i do need some quality USA replacements.

Channellocks are awesome! Wilde has come out with some new flush fasteners which are awesome and rebranded as proto.
-
Irega made Channellocks. They're smooth like butter and you don't have to adjust them back and forth all the time for the same nut or bolt. They stay right where you put them, which is a big plus in my book.

I use a skill saw all day long. I've found makita has the best balance to weight ratio in the business. And i own over 20 circ saws.

Start with the M18 and add M12 as you go because the M12 stuff is more for convenience IMO.
This is how i started out as well. But it's a trap. No matter what system you start off with, you'll end up buying both, and a lot of it too.

Check this out conductor! Armstrong set from the flea market for 20 bucks brand new!
20 bucks? You suck!
-
Conductor, how are you liking the proto screwdrivers? They look real badass! Are the tips going to last on them?
-
buying one
-
lucky they brought out the FUEL version, or you guys might have needed a black and yellow one
Love the Dewalt recip.I've had 5 of them. They're junk! All they do is shake the work piece to shit and not cut it. I will never buy another one unless it's from team red.

Even charging 2 at a time would suffice for my needs. The sequential charger is useless for mid shift duty. Great for overnight charging though.
This is what i use mine for. I got it the other day. I came home with 4 dead batteries today, put them all on the charger and walked away. In the morning they'll all be green and ready for work. Sure beats going in and out of the garage to swap em out every 45 minutes.
-
Not sure, I didn't ask but my guess is it probably will only charge one at a time for the same reason the m18 only charges one at a time
Damn. I ordered the m18 6 pack charger, but i didn't know it only charges one at a time. I guess i'm going to have to open it up and mod it to charge them all at the same time.

It annoys me how wet they ship that treated lumber It's so wet once they clip the bands holding it together and it starts to dry out the stuff bows out in all sorts of crazy directions. Why does the lumber we use now have to be such garbage its so light and less dense than the wood you see in a older homes that stuff is like concrete.
The lumber we use now is third gen growth trees. It's junk! we'll never get to use first gen growth like the old carpenters did from the get go.
-
Wow, looks like a pretty wide selection of configurations!
They're pretty damn good for the money. I have 2 of them for my bare tool milwaukee and 1more for all my hand tools. Best bag there is for under 35 bucks.
-
I hope it pounds and has the nice big bass tone. I do really want it.
-
I don't know what those guys testing them were surprised that the Milwaukee was heavier. These brushless motors have a lot more weight than the brushed.
Love the Dewalt
