DCD985#1

I have had 2 milwaukees and on one the belt broke after a month, although my dad is a shop teacher and the use all milwaukees there. I don't use dewalts because a lot of people used to have problems with them, but I'm sure they have been fixed. I held the makita at Home Depot and it feels great in your hand, but after reading reviews online I heard it was underpowered, but I may reconsider after all that you people said about it. The ridgid is a little big and the switch is hard to access but many people have said its nice. I intend to purchase a Bosch it's the most comfortable to me, variable speed (nothing special many sanders have variable speed), terrific dust collection, good warranty, visually stunning, only down side a little pricier than most sanders, great overall tool, I recommend picking from the makita, Bosch, ridgid, milwaukee, portercable, and dewalt, they are all pretty well built, and then get the one your most comfortable with hope I helped.

I plan on buying a dewalt 12 inch sliding miter saw DWS782, and a 20v max circular saw kit 4.0, I'd like to get an m12 fuel impact, an m12 ratchet, and an m12 bandsaw, and a dewalt 20v max xr brushless drill(bare tool)

I like to keep my tools clean and comfortable in my hand, but I bought dewalt 20v hammer drill and it couldn't hold up to being knocked around a little, then I wouldn't have bought it. But that doesn't mean you should test the warranty, I replaced all my soft case bags with tool bags and put a belt hook on every tool I could get one on so I wouldn't have to lay them on roofs.

I was looking at cordless pocket screwdrivers, there are a lot of options. The I would like to purchase is the dewalt gyro, I like the two handle options, and the fuel gauge, but the part I was most concerned about was the feel of the tool, I understand the gyro will take time to get used to, I'm very in love with the 20v max grip and this will make more comfortable for me. But last night I was on amazon and I saw the dewalt 8v screwdriver with reaming head. This would be a cool tool for me because I use a lot of conduit, but to me a pocket screwdriver will be used in small dark places. In the picture provided by Amazon the reamer blocks the LED. I would like to know if you can remove the reaming head, or buy an aftermarket part to use on the screwdriver?

Nice

This idea makes a lot of sense. The angle adjustment would need a good locking mechanism if it was going to adjust because the battery would make it always want to point down

Thank you, and your right conductor, I've learned a lot from my dad, he was a cabinet maker but closed his business when I was born because he never got to see me now he's a shop teacher, and I appreciate how much I've learned

Welcome

I'm in on that now I've got get off my phone and get to work on my shop hehe

Hey everyone I'm new to the forum but not to tools in action, I subscribed back in January but had been watching vids without an acount since November. I'm 13 and have been helping my dad do major jobs around our house because we haven't had the money to pay people anymore. Over the last couple of months I've aquired quite the collection of tools, the first was a standard milwaukee m12 3/8" Drill/Driver kit. Then for Christmas I got a Dewalt 20v max drill and impact. That was it for a while but just recently I purchased a m12 jigsaw and an m12 hackzall because of TIA'S reviews, then I bought an m12 ocilating tool, porter cable 20v impact, a couple of milwaukee black oxide screw tips and drill bits, milwaukee knives. my favorite tool so far is my Dewalt 20max premium hammer drill DCD985. I also have some new milwaukee hand tools. My dad gave his old hitachi miter saw, an old makita recip saw, a RYOBI circular saw, some orbit sanders and a porter cable router. I do some other really cool stuff that you will need to subscribe to see but I'm still figuring this stuff out! I will also have some shop tour videos and pics for you guys, but my shop is still a work deep in progress. Bye for now!

Man that's really cool, I tried building sets in middle school, I helped my dad when I was young and knew a lot about it, it was coming out really nice but a week before the play they kicked me off and said I took to long and they couldn't rehearse on the set unless it was painted. Nobody understands the work that goes into these except the person building. Keep up the good work

That's awesome!!!!!
