  1. The only problem with Klein screwdrivers are the price, they are good, but many other manufacturers have better products at lower prices. Our company issued hot screwdrivers are Klein and they are not as good as my WERA personal set, or even Milwaukees set.
  2. I actually used these last summer laboring for a contractor. We were putting in a deck on his new home build and the camo fasteners work great. Just make sure to take your time otherwise you can mess up and the screws will show. But the idea of the tool is a great idea, keeping a even gap on decking and shooting in a perfect angle that's hidden!
  3. I trust my life on WERA insulated screwdrivers...
  4. I use spotify premium for 4.99 a month. I get any music I can imagine and don't need internet to listen (Once you like a song it goes into a playlist that automatically downloads) Its a great service. Then I just pair it using bluetooth so I can pick songs while I work and have phone access if needed.
  5. Just hanging around at work. This radio is perfection. Sorry the picture didn't work when i did the topic the first time.
  6. Were you cutting EMT or rigid in the other videos?
  7. Correct you will not mess up your miter saw, there is only one thing that could go wrong with a smaller generator: Just purchased a generator for a one time off-grid yurt project in the mountains requiring the use of a DeWalt 12" sliding miter saw, 15 amp. That's my biggest power tool I'll be using on this project....and since I'm mostly solo, there will be no other tools run at the same time as the miter saw. One tool at a time. Given that I only needed a generator for this one job, and I'm on a tight budget, I didn't buy an expensive one: DuroStar DS4000S, 7HP...4000 peak watts, 3,300 rated watts. Got good reviews. Paid $300. I've never used a generator before. Know nothing more than a couple articles I read. Figured this DuroStar would be overkill. At 15 amp, 120V, my miter saw would need 1800 watts...and a max of 3300 according to this article http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/jobsi...generator.aspx . Runs my smaller tools great. Even runs my 15 amp circular saw as if it were plugged in to my shop outlet. HOWEVER, when I run my miter saw, it seems to take longer for it to build up its RPMs. It just doesn't seem quite the same as when plugged in to my shop outlet. Is this normal? Am I going to mess up my miter saw? I need to figure this out soon. Starting this project this Saturday. - Miter saw is a beast and uses more then the rated wattage of your generator then the generator will not be able to keep up. (Miter saw will only consume the power it needs, so you cant have too much power going to it on a 120v circuit.) Hope this helps.
  8. They asked for a tee shirt and a tool of choice so I request some stuff, ill see what they have in stock. I really want to try their new bag, i had the previous one, but I'm not forking out another 100 bucks because the first one sucked. If not Im gonna try and get one for review...

  12. Hello Travis, I reached out to TIA on the FB page and expressed interest on getting a review sample of the new klein extreme tradesman pro bags. They have improved the design from the first version. I previously had the extreme tradesman pro bag (55417-18 ) but switched to the veto pro pack bookbag. However klein seems to have improved the designs of the bag for version 2. I would really like to get a review sample and do a writeup/video on the improvements and new features of the bag. Thanks, Jordan Mike

  16. A buddy at my company did the challenge while he was on the tower haha.
  17. I just looked it up and it looks like that might be it, this knot will definitely come in handy one day when we do a tough wire pull and nobody else knows how to do that haha.
  18. Does anybody know this knot? I cant find it anywhere through searching... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ca2bcXzRo

  22. Most of it is done, maybe another hour of cutting and 50 ft of total cuts to make. I can't spend any money on a one time thing and a 55 gallon drum is not a option. Will a couple gallon jugs with holes in the lids work out you think?
  23. Long story short we are doing a job at a abandoned psych ward in the middle of nowhere, and we have no water source. Is there any way to keep the dust from cutting concrete down? I wore a mask today but I don't think that a mask will do too much for that fine dust.
