i see your more professional than diy, so chriss and protoolnut would be more inline than what i said earlier. you would probably be more happy buying in the brushless line, than not, especially in the torque'e tools like saws and your bigger drills, this is where the brushless really shines

welcome tim, learn you will, no limit to the knowledge on this site

lastofthevee, nice, looks like alittle like "arts and craft influence" there, my favorite, a design you never get tired of, nicely done

ive been in the professional construction trades for the last 30 years or so, so i make a living with my tools, i just recently got into the milwaukee cordless tool line, the m12,'s all of the them are the fuel line, and it wasnt the brushed vs brushless question, it had to do more with the build quality of the fuel line compared to the brushed line. if i wasnt making money with my tools i would not hesitate to buy into the brushed line. all of my 18/20 volts are dewalt, with 80% being the 18v lithium ion, my favorite is the dcd970 hammer drill, i have used the new brushless models, ( not mine), there is a difference, but its not black and white, its more like black and grey. if run time is a problem, then down the road you pick up a few extra batteries. run time or performance difference has never been a problem with me on the brushed models. dont feel like you have to spend money you cant, like dano said, i have never run into a job that the brushed couldnt handle

sounds like a deal lol

i occasionally mist all my tools with wd-40, handtools and power tools, your in florida, and if your by the coast than you have the salt to deal with too. if any of my tools get wet, i spray a dose of wd on them before putting them away. its worked for me so far

ooh, WOOD CHIP cookies, nice.... how much to ship to ny

i know, i love mine, ive actually used a 3lb sledge when i had to chisel a joist or stud to make room for something.

welcome james, youll have fun here

cant put into words how awesome that looks tugnut, im amazed at some of the ideas you people have in this forum.

jimbo gave you two excellent choices, i know this because i have both. the baileys are more money and come with a leather pouch, i use these only for real fine work. i use the fatmax [which are excellent for the money] to 'rough' in work when i need to really pound on the handle. they cost enough though to where you dont really want to abuse them too much. if you want a demo chisel, check out the dewalt, i have a set of these, they run around 10 bucks each, and i really abuse these

thats fir, they run straighter and are alittle harder than the spruce studs. alot of ext wood doors are made of fir.

nice dano, this kind of repetitive work takes alot of patience nicely done. i agree with you on the prem studs, its all i buy, and they are usually fir, which is alot better than the spruce studs

thatrs one beautiful job 99

5 bucks? thats insane, really nice looking set, i like the colors

they are both beauties

its a great sander i have the same one, they just released a new quarter sheet that im also going to pick up, works better inside of cabs and etc because you can get to corner

thats because we want this fixed as soon as possible because we cant be cut off for more than 24 hrs lol

your too funny, i like it

i agree, never gave it thought, but what a great idea, thanks for posting comp

yes it did, but its not the first time i screwed up and it sure wont be the last

this past week my wife went to so carolina to visit our daughter, i stayed home to get some stuff done. Sunday i figured i'd work in the kitchen. when i was making room i came across some big plastic containers that i had had no idea where they went, so i threw them in the oven. wife gets home late sun night every thing is fine. monday we get home from work she says she bought a couple of steaks to broil, i said great.I quess she wants to reward me for being a fine husband. i go outside while she throws steaks in broiler. shortly after im smelling this really strange oder out side, i said to myself that i hope the steaks taste better than they smell, right after that i hear a scream, i go running inside, by that time the kitchen is full of smoke, i cant see anything. i did hear a bunch of not so nice words directed my way. the only thing that was flashing in front of my eyes was me spending lots of nights on the couch. i pryied both racks out of the oven, threw them out on the deck. i figured they were trash, the plastic welded itself around all the grids. the next day, i had an idea, pulled out my m12 hacksaw, and went to town. got those grids looking real good again. we have a double door wall oven so she never looked in the oven part. but all is good again, until i try to do something else.

welcome youngster, lol

are there any through holes for dust collection? cant tell in picture

correct, that is why if your only going to buy one buy the 16, it will handle most but not all the smaller stuff, and will also handle the bigger stuff, if im installing new store bought molding, which is getting thinner faster than my hair, then i only use the 18 ga. my buddy uses the 16 ga only, and he will on occasion get a split on the thinner part of molding.When we do custom work which is usually 3/4 thick, i pull out the 15. used to use the 15 on store bought molding, bought it has got to thin. When we used to hand nail only, we always used two different size finish nails
