if you already have the screws, and since you are doing this work on your own house where time isnt as important then i would say just use the dimplers you can google the "Bosch Dimpler" which seems to be a step up from the little 1" bits I have used the 1" bits with the collar fixed in place on smaller patches and they work well .. you will probably blow through a dozen of them with that size job so factor that into the cost . also check ebay for a cheap used drywall screw gun.. you can probably pick up something decent that will get you though your job for $25, that will probably be your fastest and cheapest option new tools are always cool but if you are never gonna use a collated drill again in your life then i say use that money on another tool you will get more use out of.. now.. here is some food for thought. if you have never done drywall work before..... it sucks! hanging it is the easy part and thats not even all too enjoyable. based on a basic 2 car garage 8 foot ceilings doing walls and ceilings and a regular sized bathroom walls and ceilings, for all the materials (probably around 60 sheets of 4x8) including the sheets, compound, your lift, some sort of bits or cheap drill, joint tape, t square and sandpaper your gonna be very close to $1000 in materials alone.. just for shits and giggles you may want to consider having a few contractors quote the job. you may find that its not even worth you doing the work for what you will save! not trying to deter you, just give you options to think about.

Alright guys and gals.. Dropped the price to $105, for everything you see above including shipping!!!

Your 100% in the right... maybe you should have called him out about the damage before he left the job just to eliminate any possible denial from him after the fact (he is most likely denying it to mommy). He's damn lucky that he got off so cheap, imagine if the piece needed to be replaced, maybe it couldn't be fixed or maybe the customer didn't accept the repair!! Also the fact that he got the $100 is super generous of you, I'm sure you had at least $100 worth of your time tied up into coordinating the repair and explaining it to the customer.

Does anyone know if Ryobi plans to release a 18v led stick light anytime soon? My father is a painter and could really use one to cast light parallel to the wall when prepping. It really makes any imperfection stand out. Whenever we happen to be on jobs together (usually him painting my jobs) he uses my makita 12 led lights (lxlm03) and really likes them but he has the Ryobi 18v platform so it would be nice if he could just buy the bare tool light and not have to buy a light battery and charger of another brand.. My wishful thinking hopes they have one before christmas, I'd love to grab him a few as a gift.

I like your style!

Damn man, You cleaned them out!!! Nice haul, Chris

Anyone with a multi tool that even comes close to metal seriously owes it to themselves to try a Bosch OSC114C. It's the carbide tipped version. That thing will cut metal, plaster, drywall wood and probably anything else you throw at it. StevenK, I would go as far as saying one or two of these will last as long as all 50 of your amazon blades! Tools-plus.com is the cheapest I've found them. 1=$12. 2=$19. 5=$38. 10=$69. That's pretty darn cheap

Claudio, you can have the bottle oppeners, fans and caps! I want the good stuff. All those hot off the press tools!!! Chadlanthier, 99% of the time it seems to be that way... we do get a few things that they dont.. I'm pretty sure it has to do with much looser regulations overseas.. It's almost like the testing ground for new tools, a way to work the kinks out.. that's my take anyway

it's gonna be well worth the money. you made the right choice, trust me.. your gonna love it! I'm pumped for you that you were able to snag it!! Happy cutting

That's what I figured.. somebody's gotta make one with carbide cutters I used to use bimetal holesaws but man do they wear out quick in plaster. I also used to just regrind the teeth with my angle grinder but it's such a hassle. I've started using carbide grit rim holesaws and they actually work great.. Was just considering another possible option

My thinking exactly!

its borderline unhealthy for me! I guess i could have much worse addictions!

the last batch of blades i sent out was 3 forrest and one kapex blade for a total of 4 bades and 5 router bits of various shapes/styles it cost me about $9 to ship to them usps priority all the sharpening cost $101 and their return shipping was $15 ups total was around $125 to make over $600 worth of blades and bits function like new again hard to beat!! also it only took a bit over a week from the time they left me to when i had them back this link should take you to their pricing list http://www.burnstools.com/images/pdf/sharpening_prices.pdf

No problem man, that's what were here for right? helping and learning from each other is the name of the game let me know if there is anything else i can do John

In regards to the new adjustable hole cutter just announced a few month or so ago, does anyone know what the cutters on it are made of, will it handle plaster?? also where to get it and pricing? Thanks

With some of the new cordless models not avaliable in the US popping up on ebay etc., is there any reason (other than premium price) not to buy the bare tool at least?? I understand the chargers would be incompatible.

What a video! If that was what job sites actually looked like then I bet accidents for the men on site would sky rocket 10000% there wouldn't be a single male construction worker that wasn't missing at least 3 fingers!!

He'll yeah!! Your gonna love it man! Congratulations

Im assuming you just abbreviating but wanted to make sure you were asking about the Ls1216L... my gut would have to say it's a bunch of the same.. I think it was released after the 10" so maybe they worked some kinks out but I did a quick parts check and the actual base of the saw is the same part for the 10 and 12 inch which leads me to believe it only has a few tweaks to fit the 12" blade. It also still has the awful 5 piece fence.. the 4 rail was never the problem for me and while it does save some rear space it wasn't a ton.. I think the Dewalt 12" saws need a ton of rear room due to some of them having up to 16" cross cut capacity.. avoid that and make your large cross cuts with a track saw. you may want to SERIOUSLY consider the Bosch axial glide for your situation, again no personal use but from what I understand it's a great saw.. and amazon is showing it to be only 50 more than the 12" making it only $650

Just a simple copy and paste! Like copy from the top browser bar on the YouTube page and paste directly into this reply box? I clicked to share the YouTube video and copied that url addrsss, then in this reply box selected embedd a Url and pasted it there.... seems I was over complicating things!!!

Possibly look into the making ls1018... $350 with amazon prime. it looks like they dumbed down the design of the 1016 which is a good thing. I have no experience with the 1018 though.. honestly I don't think you can go wrong with the Dewalt for the money. Whichever way you go make sure you have a quality blade on the saw.. a full kerf blade will give you less deflection and more blade stability and a negative hook angle blade is better suited for miter saws as well

Ahhh. Maybe it magically appears on the home page when you reach the post count. That explains why I could never see it and then one day it smacked me in the face!! I thought I was blind! Haha keep posting!! you looking anything in particular? I'll Tell You If It's in there

I never could find it either. It's on the front page of the forum, under tool exchange which is towards the top. http://professional-power-tool-guide.com/power-tool-forum/index.php?/forum/8-tia-swap-meet/

I would probably grab my Stiletto Tibone 15.. no batteries or fuel to run out and nice and light. Bring it on zombies!!

I couldn't be without my leatherman surge.. ive had several multitools from leatherman, gerber and some other off brands and hands down the surge is the favorite by far. if i don't want or need the bulk from the multitool then i carry a Gerber paraframe fine edge folding knife for its light weight and slim profile.
