  1. I have the DeWalt DCK211S2 Drill Driver / Impact Driver. I have used the heck out of these tools. I like the grip I'm not a fan of the fat grip 12 volts.

    I don't like fat grips also

  2. I'm in the market for a new 12v soon and wanted to know everybodys opinion on this one... perfer yellow but open to other options for this purpose tool... must be light and small as they come, have detachable batt. Use is gonna be for hex screws in air handler's and condensers because I'm so tired of using my hand drivers at this point... variable speed would be nice... just some features I'm looking for in it too...

  3. It all depends on what you'd be into.  I like speed.  I spend all my time on a relatively calm river, fly upstream as fast as i can and float back down and enjoy a cold one.  My little 17 footer is perfect for that.  When i take her into choppier waters its a rough ride for sure.  And forget about inlets or the ocean, too small.  

     

    Ive spend my whole life on Checkmate speed boats.  I owned a 21ft Wellcraft bowrider with a 305 I/O with a pretty deep hull for about a year before. That was an OK boat. Handled the chop of the inlets pretty well. Build quality wasn't quite what im used to tho. Search some craigslist, heres a lot of deals out there to be had.

    Damn that sounds like fun...

  4. Strider clones at Aliexpress...one of the places you can find good-quality knives cheap. A lot of the Strider and Microtech clones are decent quality and good for EDC, and they don't cost a small fortune...

    them clones looking good, I'd hate for someone to call me out on it though...lol... but wth the thermite is basically a clone its self...

    CRKT Razel   I picked up one of these in 2010 and have used the hell out of it. I plad about $40 for it back then, but its an awesome knife. Pretty good at prying open oysters too ;)  The liner lock in it is thicker than most knives and it has a "lawks" safety feature to keep the blade from accidently closing. They are discontinued by crkt, so it would be worth picking one up if you use your knife as a tool rather than an expensive box opener.

    I think I want a every now and then expensive box owner..

    I like Cold Steel personally. The Code 4 series run around $60.

    Cold steel are nice too...

    I'm really digging that Hinderer design though...

    Mabey ZT...

    IDK, I'm developing a wine taste with a beer wallet ...lol

  5. For general purpose drilling the Thunderbolts or the tin coated Dewalt's will do fine.

    I use the thunderbts. $20 bucks for the set and after a couple years I toss them and replace.

    I do like the Dewalt pilot points, but they don't hold up worth a damn in steel.

    Just picked up a set of DeWalt titanium bits and they went through about 3/16 steel fine... I was impressed with them...

    I was using my dcd780 and I didn't like how hot it got...other than that fine...

  6. I've been looking for another edc knife just because... I don't wanna spend a ton of $ at the moment and I'm verry picky... been looking around and I came across the kershaw thermite for about $40.00. What els heve ull came across or like or think is the best for under $75.00 for an edc knife?

  7. Here is an 'old codger' trick.

    It may sound a bit crude but, in a pinch, you can usually find a way to improve a less than sharp edge in the average kitchen cabinet. Even when you can't find the most basic of knife sharpening tools you can use the unglazed bottom ring of a dinner plate or coffee mug to at least improve a distressed edge. Later, you can get your knife together with one of the more preferred methods.

    Never heard of that b4... neat...

    Here's what I use. A 99cent sharpener ... ok so far, definitely need to find a better system though ...

  8. Just posting some pictures on some pressure washer accessories from todays TIA video. Of the pressure washer review coments I made.... its a hover (I think its called that, well I call it that) and a quick disconnect ball valve so u can change from hover to wand and vise verse without turning off the pressure washer... what do ull think?

  9. The only weird thing is someone tore the edge of the envelope to look inside. I wonder if someone was planning on stealing my TIA stickers! I bet they some one at the post office sorting facility was checking out if there was cash or a check in the envelope.

    I think that is somthing the post office does...same here, and other mail I've received...

    First place I put one was on my tool bag ( I had to super glue it to there to make sure it don't come off being that it on fabric and outside a lot)... and then my powersupply...
