    This thing is awesome. It went all day on a 5.0 battery
  3. With being a remodeling contractor keeping someone house clean that you are working in is very important. I probably spend a hour or so everyday covering thing keeping floors covered checking the air scrubbers and at the end of the day picking it all up to put back down the next day. When I'm finished I have a cleaning service come in and clean the house. That 150 bucks goes a long way in get referrals.
  4. It's a game that DeWalt and Milwaukee play. I was a DeWalt guy back in the day but when they started to lag behind I started to move over to Milwaukee and own only 3 DeWalt tools and a large collection of Milwaukee. I have a bunch of tough boxes and T-Staks because Milwaukee did not have anything to compare at the time. So to switch over is out of the question and once I get my trailer finished the DEWalt boxes stuff will be going up for sale.

    Everything happens for a reason WigWag. Keep looking forward and full speed ahead. Glad to see you back.
  6. I think that I'm going to pick-up one of the packout bags. They are made with 1680 Ballistic Material same as their toolbelt and that thing wears like iron. I have a couple of the Veto bag and they are nice but for less then half I can get a similar packout bag. I think that the molded base is what make the Veto or Milwaukee bag. Most bags you buy the sides hold up but the bottoms wear out.
  7. The sad truth is most small companies will not comply because they can slip under the radar. I once did a total gut for a house flipper 1 block away from our local OSHA office. I had 4 dumpsters setting in front full of crap and not once in 20 weeks did a inspector stop to see what we were doing. As far as finding somebody to do the work unsafe there is no shortage of idiots to do the work. I bidded on a job not to long ago. The house was built in the 40's . It had loads of lead paint, asbestos, and mold a triple whammy for the flipper. I gave him a price and told him I can take care of the lead but he would have to get someone certified for the mold and asbestos. I drove by the house a few weeks later and saw about 4 guys that hang out at the HD looking for work hauling the crap out to the dumpster covered in dust and not one piece of PPE.
  8. You have come a long way over the past year! Great work.

    I know I said this is a must have but at 600 bucks this is more like are you at of your frickin mind.
  10. The Packout system looks really nice. Just wish it would have been out a few years ago. I'll be sell off all my tough boxes once I get my trailer finished.

    Baby!

    Congrats EE you are about to step into uncharted waters. So my suggestion to you is learn to surf and enjoy the ride.
  13. will it fit on the festool track if so may have to take a look at it
  14. The M18 Jigsaw is junk. I was hoping they would release the Barrel grip here in the US. I went to use the jigsaw today and just tossed it in the trash.
  15. You can face screw the decking down just pass the drip edge. The lease amount of hole in the metal the better off you are. I Flashing the tops of joists with peel-and-stick membrane it protects them from water and seals penetrations from decking screws. I run this on my ledger then set my metal on top.
  16. I hear you pain. I was a DeWalt guy for years. Hell I live 15 minuets from their HQ. I would stop by the repair center there and get great deals but as time went on with nothing new and other company's dropping new tools what seam like every week I had to move on. I still have some DeWalt but must of my stuff is 80 Milwaukee and Festool. The only DeWalt stuff that I now is the 12V impact and drill and the new drywall gun with the Collated Magazine Attachment.
  17. Happy 4th crew hope you all had a safe Day! We drove to DC and watched the Bands on the National Mall, Beach Boys, The four Tops, The Blues Brothers and a few others. That ended with a great fireworks show.
  18. TTS Tooltechnic Systems Acquires SawStop. The parent company of Festool buys Sawstop
