  1. That's an awesome video!

     

    My guy's ask me all the time "how did you figure that out so quick....."

     

    The knowledge you gain over your career is where that comes from. Schooling has helped me out allot but I feel like I really learned more from the time spent on the actual equipment.

  2. Most of the time my friends want to borrow me and my tools. I help as many as I can because I know they would do the same (and have) if I needed them.

     

    Coworkers on the other hand it kind of depends. If it's one of my guys, depending on what it is I usually say OK. Some one that just works in one of the plants no way.

  3. Well......no. He is one of Mrs. Conductor's friend's husband.

    He did help me paint my kitchen.....kinda. He showed up for 2 hours, cut in 1 wall and hit the trail.

    LOL. My wife is setting me up with her friends boyfriends or husbands on play dates all the time.......

     

    Has not worked out one time. These guys are talking about pork bellies and stocks and such?????  Talk about tools, guns, cars, BBQ, CONTACT sports or get the F out!!!

  4. I'm out on a job site today and don't have the model number but I have had the same Milwaukee deep cut Porto band for 15 years or longer and it just takes a beating and keeps on going. Only thing I've had to do is replace the blade every now and again. Three guys use it multiple times a week. We cut all kinds of stuff with from demo to fabrication. Angle iron, strut, pipe flat stock etc.

  5. It's hard to say without having batteries and charger in front of me to put a multimeter on but I think that since the batteries are showing full charge the charger is working. I'm thinking the batteries don't have enough "ass" any longer. Kinda like when the battery on your car dies. It may show twelve volts but doesn't have enough power to start the car.........

  6. I would agree with conductor. Jet is a safe bet. As far as speed control it kind of depends. Automatic speed control will surely cost more money. I really don't mind adjusting the speed on mine and it's manual. Maybe it's the maintenance guy in me but I sometimes worry about some of this extra stuff like electronic speed controls being another thing that could eventually shut down and stop your equipment from running. Where a manual system all you really ever have to worry about is the condition of your drive belt........

  7. I have the Fuel M12 hammer drill. I love it. Use it a lot when running electric in the plants. Mounting 1900 boxes and such with tapcons. My thought is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I'm confident you will be pleased with your purchase.

  8. It seems like this should already be out. They already have quite a few specialty tools ie 600MCM cable cutter, PEX tool, PVC cutter etc.

     

    I would buy this in a second. I'm sooooo tired of pulling the handle on that manual rivet gun again and again.

  9. Had an emergency call at our Frankln Park, Il. facility and dropped by a place down the street called Zenger's Industrial Supply (Tool Store). I found an LED upgrade bulb made by Milwaukee (49-81-0090) it fots most of the flashlights that come with the tool kits. Says on package Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Rigid and Hitachi.  9.6v-28v. I gave one of my guys my old M12 with the incandescent bulb so I bought this for him. I just got back to the shop and installed it. Huge difference! Anyway just thought I would throw it up here incase someone was looking to upgrade their flashlight. It's a little pricey at $40 bucks.
