  1. Makita x2 cordless circ saw VS Fuel 7 1/4" circ

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    In retrospect, you'll obviously go with what platform you are already with. Per battery the milwaukee out performs the makita. I have used both extensively on jobs it's and enjoy the milwaukee much more. When using the milwaukee I carry the saw with a battery and a battery in a charger. When using the makita I have two in the saw, and two chargers and batteries. It's much more convenient to use the milwaukee. Neither will clearly get the run time of a corderd skilsaw clearly. the milwaukee is much less drama when using it on the job

  4. Multi-tool blades

    The other day I bought a three pack of bosch blades, Japanese style teeth. (Forgive me for not having the model number.) They cut awesome thru the oak door jambs and casing I was cutting. But as soon as they touched a nail the teeth dropped like flys. 3 pack of blades for $30 gone in a day....boy don't I feel like a jackass

  5. Midwest snips

    I use them only a daily basis. Right angle off set. As a commercial carpenter I use them to cut steel studs and track aswell as other things and they haven't dulled a bit. The way the two blades are fitted tof ether keeps them tight and the blades won't split apart cutting thick matterial. Better than milwaukee, wiss, and any others you have to tgrow at them:) just my opinion haha

    Well since I've posted last, my 28 oz. Steel shaft estwing has been stolen:/ the plus side is I'm now in the market for a new hammer haha.as tempted as I am for a stiletto, I think I'm gonna go with another estwing. I believe its a 22 oz. It's got a hickory handle. The one I saw last night at HD was beautiful. It had a really dark piece of hickory....I think I'm gonna head back

  11. Stiletto hammers!!!

    The stilletos are awesome hammers and if I swung one for a living, I'd probably invest in one.

    My framer is a Vaughan Stealth I gave $25 for. It's a great hammer, but it's no Stiletto. It's like anything else, it carries a different value to different people.

  14. okay guys....I need some opinions about the sawstop

    in Power Tools

    Saw stops are as safe as a table saw can be. I truly believe that as I witnessed and incident in woodshop when I was in highschool. A kid was ripping a board with out the fence and loss control leading him to touch the blade with his finger. The blade shot down as it should and saved his hand. He was still left with a nice little gash but nothing some bandages and superglue couldn't fix. I would highly suggest it, especially in your case

  19. Milwaukee 13" job box for paint supplies?

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    Hey everyone! Ibe been wanting to get an organizer for all of my paint and taping supplies. Brushes, rollers, mud pan, exc. I was wondering how the 13" milwaukee job box would work? I'd be nice to be able to stand on it for cutting ceiling and other high work. What do u guys think? Does any one know if it'll fit a normal size roller handle?

    Welcome Steven! TIA HQ is in Barrington, just outside of town.

    Union? We don't like Union bastards around here. We used to have some Pinkerton's on the staff just for such occasions, but we had to cut them off.

    I'm completely joking. I'm as union as it gets. Every job I ever had in my life was union. From my first job at Kroger, my intermediate jobs working on slot machines and out of the Laborer's and Carpenter's hall, to my current job as a full time officer in the Railroad Conductor's Union. My dad was Union, his dad was Union, Uncles, everyone. I've never eaten a meal in my life that wasn't bought with a Union paycheck.

    Works Union, loves Milwaukee, buys tools weekly.....If you're ever up for adoption, let me know :lol:

    Haha well thank you, im very excited to start union school and training!
