  3. Paintball

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    I still go with some friends from work about 3 times a year.  It's really fun, but it can be extremely expensive.  They have split paintball into two categories, woodsball ( playing in the woods, more like military clothing and weapons) and tournament ( expensive guns with computers, tournament jerseys, inflatable obstacles, mostly indoor).  I use a gun ( DYE proto rail- about $500) with a automatic electric feed hopper that will feed up-to 50 balls in 3 seconds.  The gun has a chip that will let you shoot semi-auto or full auto.  They also don't use CO2 much anymore for air, it's mostly nitrogen.  Paintballs cost about $60 for a case of 2000.  That may seem like a lot, but my friends and I usually buy 4-8 cases to share when we go and play for a day.  Each of us are holding about 6 pods (160-200 balls per pod) on us and that usually goes pretty quick.  Don't let these prices discourage you if you haven't tried it or are wanting to go out for fun.  Most places that are set up for paintball have really good gear to rent and is much more affordable that way.  BTW, if anybody thinks that my gun is expensive, check out the DYE DM Matrix paintball gun and think of how many tools or maybe even a Festool you could buy.

  4. New Milwaukee tool storage options?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    Stuart on Toolguyd just posted this.  http://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-organizer/.  It's definitely not what I was expecting and to be honest, disappointing as well.  I think the market is saturated with these small parts organizers.  Don't get me wrong, I think they are useful, but a tool / parts organizer would be a lot more desirable to me.  If Milwaukee would come out with one of those and actually have Home Depot stock them in the store, unlike Bosch's L-boxx, I believe they would make a good profit just off of having them accessible to consumers and contractors who want something a little more organized than a bunch of tools scattered in various boxes.

  5. Kobalt table saw

    That Dewalt 7480 is a nice saw, unless you are going to use a dado.  The 7480 will not take a dado from what I saw when I was looking at them.

    This is true.  The arbor is not long enough for a dado stack.  That was the main reason I went with the DWE 7490X.  

  9. New use for a Saw blade.

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    First off, I love to go fishing and I don't mind going out and ice fish as long as I know the water is hard enough to hold me up.  After I saw this video, I'm not sure which is more dangerous, the ice or that massive Radial arm saw blade being used to push that jon boat on the ice.  This is definately a new use for an old saw blade.

    Thanks for the input, have only heard good things about Makita's model. Ill re-post when I make a decision and actually buy the tool,

    I have that same Makita model and really like it. Blades are easy to get at most Home Depot stores. The only thing I do not like is that it doesn't come with a dust bag. I know most people hook up a shop vac or dust collector, but you won't be able to do that without an adaptor since the dust chute is oval in shape. I picked the adaptor and dust bag off of amazon for around $35.

    Because in america someone could put there head under the saw when its on and stare at the laser to long and damage there vision and lawsuits could happen.

     

    You mean the "redneck" version of LASIK eye procedure?

  20. New m18 compact series out March 1st

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    The compact brushless drill makes sense to me because of the smaller size and lighter weight compared to the M18 FUEL line of drills.  But the impact to me isn't going to sell as well by itself.  The impact kit with two batteries is going to cost around $199.  For $30 dollars more, you can pick up the FUEL brushless impact with the 3 speed settings and have a bit more versatility.  I believe the only reason they came out with that impact is to combo it with those compact drills.
