Woh have you seen the sales they have on their mastercraft ratchet sets? Their 133piece ratchet set is like 40% off the regular price and is now set to $67.99!!!
They are also having sales on much more mastercraft tools to. I was kind of piss because i bought a brand new mastercraft wrench and measurment tape for regular price and the next day they have a sale on the exact same wrench and measurment tape i bought for 40% off!!!

I have a bosch 9315 sliding compound miter saw that has been very reliable, but lately I have had to apply excessive force to get the blade down to the stock. I thought that the arm must be worn so I replaced it but the problem persists. Does anyone know if there is some kind of adjustment that will eliminate this problem? Thanks, GJS
Try sending it back to the company to see if they can fix it or replace it or buy a new one. Seems kind of strange that it is still not functioning good after replacing it with a new arm.

Hey Idontknow312
I just saw this stuff in this weeks flyer. Im an hour from any store (Haliburton, Ontario) but if you cant find these tools in the store, just ask an employee and they can look in the computer to find the nearest store that does have them in stock.
I didnt see any dewalt stuff in the flyer this week. Maybe we get a different flyer depending on where you are. Perhaps a different province?
I am now convinced im buying the nailer. Just finished some shelves in my mothers closet and need to put in some trim. I dont want to cart my air system all the way up the stairs for 6 pieces of 1/4 round trim so im just going to wait till I get the nailer and test it out on friday.
Ill let you know how it goes.

Take some pictures to!
Nope I am in the same province as you (Ontario). I guess maybe its only my Canadian Tire Store?

Thanks for the reply Drywallman. I feel the same way.
All the Mastercraft Li-Ion tools come with 2 batteries and a hard case (and charger of course). There are a Drill, impact and the nailer availiable as kits, as well as a light which is sold seperatly with no batteries.
This week in the flyer the Drill is $39 the Impact is $69 and the Nailer is $57. The exchange is almost 1-1 now as you said so the $$ would be about the same for you. Im thinking, as you are, that for the money, even if the tools arent the best or most durable the lifetime warranty will easily make up for it. Also, if you keep your reciept, Canadian tire is really good about giving a store credit if your tool fails and you dont want a replacement so even if after a while you dont like it or want it anymore you can take it back, get a store credit and get something else you do want.
I think im going to buy the nailer and the drill and see how they are. The drill would be good for small jobs/projects in closets and whatnot as well as for some hobbies im into. Not to mention I get 2 more batteries with it for $39. Ill let everyone know how they work after.
Drywallman, if your interested enough, perhaps we could work something out where you send me the $$ and I buy you the nailer and ship it to you. I just thought id offer if your serious and cant make it across the border. Perhaps you could return the favour someday when the situation is reversed.

Great to see another Canadian!
Hmmm.. I went to my local Canadian Tire store yesterday I couldn't seem to find that great of a deal. The only good deal I seen a DeWalt 18Vt for $209.00 (Canadian Dollars) and the Mastercrafts 30piece set for like $30-$50 (forogt the exact price). Witch town or city do you live in?

The chair I did used to be my computer chair but now it is my dog's chair.
Before
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa12 ... 010376.jpg
It was so ugly I had to put a towel over it to save you from becoming blind...
The old materials was all over the place the cushsioning for it was all over the place sticking out my dog was bitting on it. It was missing two screws for the chair so i had to go to Canadian Tire to buy 2 replacement screws..
After
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa12 ... 020134.jpg
I took out everything that use to be there redid the whole top with a used bench cushsioning. It now actualy has 4 screws instead of 2... Also when you sit down you cant feel that screws sticking out at you..
Materials
Used desktop seat.
Used cushsioning.
4 Screws...
A large screw driver and a philip screw driver (I just used my Leatherman Wave).
Some tack.

I would like to say I bought a Leatherman Wave!! I was wondering does Multi-Tools counts as a hand tool (The Leatherman Wave can have bits put into it. It's only like $20 for a 20 piece set of bits!)?
-
Ok, I think that's what we'll do. We've been looking at the DeWalt packs and the 4pc makes more sense.
Thanks again for all the advice,

Before any purchases you have already bought safety glasses right? Make sure you purchase ANSI Z87 (If i remember i think that ANSI Z87 was the standard safety certify) certify! Replacing a wood is a lot easier then replacing a eye!

No, my mistake. I think you mentioned that and I just missed it
One other quick question. Think I should wait on a sander and just use elbow grease to start off with? I like that set and think it would do well to get me started but wonder if I should wait on an orbital sander.
As far as the rest of your first post my intent is to get into it as much as I'm able to. I've sort of sat on it all for about 2 weeks now as I didn't want to jump into anything too hastily but my wife and I both agree it would be a good investment and figure if we're going to spend the money we should put it towards a proven dependable brand.
You should definitely wait and save a few more bucks for a sander. You can buy a a sander for pretty cheap ($15-$30 Jobmate) and it will do the job for building book shelfs. I know that because i build a wall shelf at school and i used a cheap one and it worked perfectly (its all about the course of the sand paper!)! But if you want quality that will last go with something that is like Porter Cable, DeWalt or something similiar.

This was the sander i used to build my wall shelf with.

Hmmm, only through Ebay, I'll check on it further.
Now, why the big price difference between these 2?

Maybe I'm missing something.
Again, thanks so much for the help.
Yea sorry forgot to tell you that the link i sented you are Canadians. Since you live in U.S.A. the price is very difference by a couple of hundreds dollars.

Looks good to me. Only thing is that when you buy from EBay it is very hard to return it back for warrenty. It is also harder to get a problem fixed when buying online then buying from a store. Also have you checked this company back ground out yet?

Hello all,
As the title says I'm sorta new at this sort of thing. My wife an I just bought our first house and well...I've been doing a few repairs here and there. Today I actually refinished my first piece of furniture. It was just a book shelf but I figured I'd start small. Anyhow, over the last few weeks I've discovered I really enjoy that sort of thing. Maybe it's the idea of having your own house and knowing you're adding quality to your life, I don't know.
Anyhow, I've been browsing power tools and such as she, my wife, would like a few more book cases, a new dog house and a few other things and thought I'd try my hand at it. Figure I'd never learn unless I jump into it. So, like I said, I've been browsing around and looking at different brands, tools, etc and from what I can gather DeWalt is one of the better brands to go with. I've been looking at cordless drills, reciprocating saws, orbital sanders and a circular saw and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which I should go with. I figure I'd end up spending $400-$600 for the four but would like to be on the low end of that if possible. Should I even be looking at that many items right off the bat?
I've looked at the DeWalt 6 piece set which has everything except the drill is a hammer/drive drill. I don't think I would really need that and have read there are problems with the hammer drill which I don't need. Should I be concerned with that?
Thanks in advance for any replies and I apologize for the long post, I'm a bit long winded at times

Well it depends on how much you are going to use your power tools and how hard are you going to push its limits? If you are a simplely just using your power tools just for that occasion and you will not be pushing the power tool to its limit in the future then you can always go with Rigid sets they are very good beginners sets if you will not be pushings the machine to its limits. Also DeWalt is a very good brand pretty reliable and they will last a long time if you take care of them very good. You also can push a DeWalt to its limits and it wont break on you as easily as a Rigid can.
You said that you heard some flaws to the DeWalt hammer drill? I think DeWalt has a 3YR LIMITED WARRENTY, 1YR SERVICE FREE CONTRACT and if you are really that worried about that hammer drill there is a 90 DAYS MONEY BACK RETURN WARRENTY. So i think you can give DeWalt a shot and if you dont like it you can always return it (or you can donate it to me!) to Home Depot or wherever you buy your tools from. Or you can always pick up a Milwaukee 18V kit that is very reliable and one of the industries best tools maker.

Sorry if this topic has been discussed before. If so this could be brief? Does anyone know the ins/outs of what power tools are still built in the US? Somewhere I can read about assembled and parts made etc....
Thanks
I think Milwaukee is still made in USA. After Techtronic Industries Co bought Milwaukee they said they were going to keep the lines serperate.
If you got to this link
http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stor ... PartNumber
Go and press the "Specifications" tab and go down and look for "Country Of Origin" it says "United States" therefore its made in the United States.
Other then that, thats the only power tool company that i can think of so far that makes their power tools in USA. You should also look into Japan made power tools company like Makita if your afraid of made in China power tools.

You do know that you can enter your password and IE (Internet Explorer) will ask you if you want IE to "Remember the password for the website" so next time you log in you dont have to remember your password becuase it is already typed in when you type your username. If you use Mozilla it does the same thing as IE with this situation. Unless you use Opera i am not sure about that.

Hey and welcome to this forum!

I think Milwaukee is still good as of now, but who knows. I am going to buy the Milwaukee corded drill next week.
I know my HD is selling their V28 for $719. I am going to wait a little bit and hope they come down in price a little.
Hey usa did you visit your HD this last few days? If so did you see the price of your MIlwaukee price went sky high? My HD was selling them for just under $700 not they are selling them for $849.00!
Wow that is amazing. I wounder why the price is so high. I will have to swing by my local HD and see what price they are selling them for.
The worst part is now my local home depot store doesnt carry them anymore because they said that it was only for a "Promotion for Milwaukee".

I figure i would post to help out new comers or novice at computers.
1-How to upload photo's on the "Show Off" post.
1-Make a account (to register click "join" on top of the right corner of "log in" on or click on the big red button that says "join")
2-Make a "new sub album title" for what ever the photo are (it is beneath the upload photo)
3-Upload the photos that you saved on your computer (make sure that the tab is on "Images From My PC" and click on browse (it is on the right side of the empty space bars) and look for the photos that you want to upload.)
4-Copy the IMG code and post it in your topic! (only once your done step 1-3 and finish uploading a picture you scroll down the page and you will see your photo in a smaller version and you will see that there is multiple choices of style to place your photo ethier by "Share URL, URL LINK, HTML TAG AND IMG CODE". I recommend you to choose the "IMG CODE". After you clicked on the IMG CODE it will have a small letter that wil pop up in the space bar next to it saying "Copied". Once you see this letter you right click your mouse and click paste onto your post and you will then have a photo in your post.)
5-Congradulations you have uploaded pictures!
6-Or you can simply let the Admin upload the photos for you.
7- Or you can contact me from a hotmail account and ask for more help on how to upload photo's. If you need my hotmail account please just pm me.
Also is there other topics of How-To's that i forgot please post here so i can add a How-To's on it!
Yours truely James!

Why don't we set up a "Sticky" at the "Show Off" section where people can post pictures of what they made or created. Or show off how cool their workshop is. Also how is that "Product Testing" idea going?
-
Wow you were right. This forum has been growing pretty fast lately (last time i was on there was only 180's some odd member now it is almost 200 members!).
-
Virtually all of the real brands have something to offer and a position in the market. It's very logical for DeWalt and B&D to be one company. B&D is fine if you use if very infrequently and aren't that concerned about the results. Most of the world falls into that category.
Milwaukee is a good brand and if their buyer is smart, they'll stay that way.
Is B&D comparable to Mastercraft power tools? Or witch one equals out to be the better one?

Great forum here guys. Do me a favor and check out my blog and maybe respond to a topic or two. www.JoeBurbs.com.
