maybe they can fiqure a center blade option and keep eveybody happy lol

i have the corded dewalt worm drive love the weight it actually aids in making straight cuts, like you said its a bonus

i agree,ive used blade right for over 20 years, then recently i started to use blade left, and i thought this makes so much more sense being right handed.we are residing a house and just a few days ago i needed to make a cut, and my buddy had his 18 volt blade right saw, i started to make the cut and said "what the hell is this bullshit", he had to finish the cut

if they turn out to be as good as they say, then the price seems fair to me, they look like a really nice quality that has caught my eye, cant wait to see them in person. not much more than a tough system. a tough system with cart and three boxes will set you back around 300.00. i have a few tstak boxes that have been confined to shop use only, too light duty for truck and job site duty. but then again you get what you pay for.

ive always used miters 1/8 inch gap glued and screwed with cortex screws and plugs never had a problem. suppose to leave gap to drain and breath. 1/4 inch between decking boards. problem with butt joints you always end up with end showing, if using real wood no problem then. just finished deck with composite railings, put miter returns on all ends. pictured framed the deck with all miters. no ends showing

as impressive as the packout looks i still will take tough system over it for the simple reason if i need a box on the bottom i can pull it out without removing other boxes. i have the cart and i have van storage, its so convenient. only problem i have is broken plastic lock to box latches.

i have the m12 vac,, total crap

3 level deck finished last month code "plus" framing. went 12 inch on center on hot tub deck added extra beams and cross bracing. 28 piers were poured, plans only called for 22. like comp said if you plan on using it for a long time go heavy duty

consult your local building codes, do not skimp here, the majority of deck failures in the country are from improperly installed ledger boards, rip it off and start over, with water proofing membrane behind it and drip cap on top. we are in the process of of redoing a deck now, 10 feet off the ground with a 2 by 8 ledger that has started to pull away from the house. be sure to get all permits, insurance companies are starting to pull permits on renovations when it comes time to file a claim.

i totaly agree, i smashed a 1/4 sheet dewalt "perform and protech" sander about a month ago, i was so disappointed in the performance that i got more pleasure putting it out of its misery than taking it back

wow, one of the better ideas ive seen, i think im going to copy it, sorry

i get the same exact thing

i think somebody screwed up, hell of a deal

i dont have a problem at all with my m12 fuel system, i have five tools inside a milwaukee hard case along with four lights, two chargers and a bunch of batteries.cant do that with my 18 volt dewalt system. the feel of the m12 along with the build quality is what sold me on the system. i like to feel the tool in my hand, maufactures are being pressed so hard to make things lighter and smaller, some of the new tools i pick up today are so light, that they feel really cheap, thats not for me, but thats me talking. i have an old milwaukee 9inch grinder thats weighs 14.8 lbs. but that weight can be a good thing too.I dont know,, i just have a problem with tools that defy gravity.

they were pushing the new hart hammer, estwing is still one of the best, and its american made, my first choice, the guy from milwaukee told me they had to remove some of their milwaukee hand tools that were geared towards electrician ? orders from klein if they still wanted to sell klein. not a problem with me though as all my electrician tools are klein anyway.

never seen that style channelock, and usa made too,, nice

i love my m12 fuel tools also, and love the dual style battery style, you can go compact when you want or opt for the larger battery. sometimes i lay it on its side other times i stand it up, and other times i just clip it to my pocket, depends on what kind of mood im in.

had to go into homedepot today to replace estwing hammer that im pretty sure i sheetrocked into a wall, so i picked up another m12 6.0 battery also and while i was there the milwaukee man was there, started to shoot the crap, and i ended up leaving with a beautiful 6 foot heavy banner from milwaukee. thats what i call a good day at the office

im liking that

absolutly

i have all bostitch air nailers and never had a problem with any of them through heavy use, and if jimbo is right about them being similar to bostitch they are probably good guns

i agree, i have the m12 fuel, and miss the ajustable shoe

you are right, tires can make a huge difference, i run nothing but rear wheel drive vans and never had a problem in up state NY.

my last three vans have all been gmc 2500 vans, got 325,000 on first one before head gasket went, got 367,000 on second van before it rusted out, and the one im running now is an 04, and just hit 318,000, still running strong, no oil leaks or oil burning, still no rust through. i bought this one with a 100,000 mile rust out warrenty.I run nothing but synthetic fluids in everything, and do a tranny flush every year, i average around 35,000 miles a year. price you pay when you live in the woods.

i usually forgo the mask, only because i wear contact lenses and anything in the eyes are like little needles.i know a full face mask/shield would work but it seems like overkill,plus i think it would effect my quality of work because i am so uncomfortable. we need two little plugs that stick in your nose with two little hoses running out to a mask that sits on your forehead, like a headlamp." beam me up scotty"
