  1. Thanks guys. Yes conductor there is a bow window behind the shutters. The difficulty with the curve is getting the angles dead-on or the shutter ends up turning into the room. That shutter installed is about 3 grand where a straight frame would be about half that

    EDC Knife

    Leatheman Surge on my belt. Milwaukee flip on side pocket and a victorinox Swiss card in my pocket. I used to carry superknife for years. Recently switched to Milwaukee always use Lenox titanium edge blades Have carried a knife on and off work for more than 40 years
  3. Welcome to the forums Gasman
  4. I install custom window treatments. Plantation shutters and blinds. Etc. Work all over Chicagoland for decorators and designers. Use woodworking tools everyday as well as lasers for measuring / leveling 13 years in business on my own
  5. Yes I know it well. I grew up in Chicago Heights Do you know Scot from Scot Signs?
  6. Hi Brandon. Welcome to the forums. I am in Bourbonnais Work throughout Chicagoland I install custom plantation shutters and window Treatments Where are you located?
  7. I too have never owned Dewalt. I have Panasonic and Bosch and Fein. Always see Dewalt on jobsites just never bought any
  8. I hsve a 10 inch single bevel non slider and mostly use my 7 1/4 single bevel slider ( I cut small trim for shutter installs ) It only weighs 16 pounds and takes very little space in my truck
  9. Conductor where do you use all these rivets ? Just curious
  10. Any of us would be hard pressed to justify this one. Of course I only use a few dozen pop rivets a year
  11. 696.00 and 220 volt charger. Even a tool nut like any
  12. Awesome power. My tools ( not impact ) are 390
  13. I have never felt the need for 18 volt tools To me they are too bulky/ heavy Even with Lithium. Of course that is specific to my trade I am sure plenty of you prefer the extra power Just curious if you know the inch/pounds of torque The drill provides? One of my guys uses a Metabo corded SDS Hammer drill and loves it. I have not used their cordless products
  14. I have used my Paslode angled finish nailer for over 10 years. Use it 2-3 times a week and it always performs flawlessly for me. Mine has Nicad battery but it shoots so many nails on a charge it has never been a problem
  15. I never use drywall screws where shear strength is an issue ( like hand rails, etc) because they are brittle. I am also not a big fan of Phillips screws I do use a lot of trim head screws because I fasten many smaller pieces plus they have square drive heads
  16. Virtually every homeowner or even renter can use a cordless drill. Only a very tiny percentage of us would buy a planer or table saw and those of us who make a living using tools are going to buy whether there is a sale or not. So of course the retailer is not going to waste ad space on such a tiny segment It is just like when you watch a bike race on TV and there are no ads for bikes
