  1. well looky here, the hook and loop part of my Milwaukee orbital sander has worn down (about 4yrs old) to the point it just doesn't hold the sanding pads any longer. I realize I can order a new pad for around $20 but I'm cheap.........lol so for $1 worth of velcro a shot of 3M 77 adhesive and a razor blade we are back in business....

  2. it is great that you are conscious of the options economically but trust me when I say if you eventually get the tool bug full blown, you will not be able to control all the purchases. You have a Milwaukee set, keep them and if you want to get into ryobi just buy them minus the milwaukee tools you have already. as for all the specs and features don't worry about them if your buying DIY level tools.

  3. made a small strap and tarp box up front. broke all the edges by hand so lid would have a lip all the way around. pretty tricky with all the different angles, polished and clear coated it to leave it look like steel....covered the hinge area with rubber to keep it dry...

    I think it is more for opening and closing quickly....

    I have a quick release on my wood vise that I couldn't live without

  7. so I'm motoring thru Home Depot today, minding my own business and came across a deal for some kind of promo free battery crap.......the usual buy a tool get a free battery...well I see they don't have the battery that was free so my thrift mode kicks in ...I say umm ya do you have a free battery if I buy a tool?, knowing they don't the guy says I'll get my manager.....so he comes over and says ya we don't have a battery but go pick a tool of your choice and I will reduce the price by $100 sound ok?.....lol 

    so for $69 I picked this puppy up......

  8. all it takes is one tooth to break off and jam, now you have a hard piece of steel running along other hard steel. The aluminum may have just acted as a guide on either side of the blade .

    aluminum is soft, and binds together when cut, it is imperative to use some kind of cutting fluid
