  1. Nothing. They had some lame demonstration rig showcasing the torque of their drill. It was hooked up to a pully. If you could stand upright with your feet together and keep the drill from pulling you over, you won something, but it's virtually impossible.

    that pully thing was not at my local events....but i've heard about that....if you can beat it, you get a free drill but man....that drill has tons of torgue. i guess you have to weight 400 pounds or so to win. or maybe just a muscle guy :D

  2. It would be cool if they had like free food some contests or something. It sounds more like a lame promotion!! Did they have some hot girls in Bosch Bikinis at least?!?! Watch out for Chrisk he loves any Bosch clothing so he might want a Bosch man thong!! Some people were not here for the Bosch cargo Capri incident of 2013!!

    that would be amazing. if i would see that at the first event i would drive to 6 others in my area lol

  3. Exactly the same experience I had at two events in Houston. They said they had gift cards if you bought certain tiered dollar amounts worth of tools. If I remember correctly, it wasn't even a good rebate amount. $100 Visa card for $1,000 purchase? I get more than 10% off tools any day of the week.

    at one event they had almost the same....but it was $200 purchase and you get a PB180. $500 purchase a 100$ visa gift card.

    i just bought couple 6" sanding discs and 2 or 3 Lboxx2's

  4. i went to 3 events - definitely not worth it.

    they dont know sh**

    old tools, nothing new.

    they stated: giveaways and free stuff. - nothing happened when i was there.

    just a waste of time

  5. most likely he gave the product a bad review/low stars because he couldnt use his coupon again after returning his defective reel.

    it can always happen that a product has a defect but he just handled the situation wrong....instead of returning the item and money back to the card. he should have "exchanged" it.

    just grab a new item and the customer service takes care of the stuff...

  6. What i also have to mention is, I'm not gonna build a house which has to be inspected or any code restrictions.

    I gonna say its mainly for DIY purpose. like building a shed, patio and other projects which includes framing.

     

    i read a few reviews on some of those nailers on amazon and someone posted this here:

    "Clipped head is the way to go for DIY. Full head is just a code thing. There's scant evidence that they hold better than clipped. Full head nails are more expensive, the packaging messier, and the carrier hold fewer nails."

  7. hey guys,

    I am planing to buy a framing nailer due to a bunch of upcoming projects. what do you guys think i should buy a clipped or full head nailer ?!

    I just know that clipped head nailer are not by code in certain states.

    I was at HD today and looked at the framing nails and just kinda got confused

    they just have those nails:

    21-degree Round Head Nail ( are those also called Full Head Nails??? )

    30-degree Clipped/Full Nail Head ( are those now clipped or full head nails or combined ??? )

    really confusing for a first time buyer :D

     

    here the 2 nailer i was looking at:

     

    Bosch SN350-34C Clipped Head Framing Strip Nailer

    ( 30-degree clipped-head nails from 2.0 to 3.5 inches )
