  1. FUEL vs Non-FUEL

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    well I put my FUEL grinder to the test last few days cutting out for new windows, with a 9.0ah battery on it I didn't even think about battery power or lack of with a battery. standing on top of scaffolding 4 sections high cutting 3/4" cement with a diamond blade.  I don't have any brushed Milwaukee tools all of mine are Fuel and I do strongly believe they are worth every extra penny......I may not be using my tools for making a living like some do but my time is worth something to me and having tools that work is too

    Terrible weekend. I'd refrained from posting out of respect, but we got a Great Dane pup last week. Papers, good blood line, etc. $1400 dog, but we got her for $800 through a friend who deals with the breeder a lot. Sharp as a tack. 

     

    We went camping with some good friends of ours. The had an 8 month old Great Dane and were actually the ones who convinced my wife to get one. We took the Danes with us and had a great time until we woke up this morning and found their Dane dead. 

     

    Had to have been heart failure. Yesterday he was playing with the kids and having the time of her short life. Went to bed around midnight. He went out to pee at 3:30 and was fine. Went back to his kennel and went back to sleep. When we woke up at 7:00 he was dead. No struggle that would indicate a seizure or anything, no bowl movements, just went to sleep and didn't wake up.

    Breeder has an excellent reputation, has already refunded the price of the dog, and has requested a vial of blood to have tested. 

     

    Pretty sad way to end such a nice trip ☹️

    that's to bad, my brother had  2 different danes but got tired of only having them for around 6 yrs.

    someone should teach this fella in the video how to cut wood...what a poor video. your cutting approx. 7.5" why push through it let the blade cut the wood. I realize the newer saw has more RPM but the old saw will still cut especially with someone that knows how to use a circular saw

    It might just not list the manufacturer name on the site. They also have the track circular saw guide...it looks like a site that uses some sort of software to pull listings and put them for sale. Some of those are scam sites but a lot are deal sites where they find a retailer and either drop ship or affiliate link.

     

    I'm not soo sure about the site: http://servicehostnet.com/domain/mywoodtools.com

    probably a scam

    unless you are investing in something that will actually go up in value you have to realize 99.9% of other consumables we buy there will be a loss regardless what it is, if you used it, or how long you have it.  Take the loss and move on. sell it for what you can get, remember the longer you hold off the less you will get in most cases unless you bought it way below retail and then can sell it for a profit. In you case you paid high retail and the item has come down in price, there is no way you can get anything close to what you paid.

    thanks guys, funny how just one day can make you think.....chevy claimed our recliner in the living room  2 living room sets ago. she would sleep on that chair every night. each time we got a new set she would claim the chair. This morning it hit me because the sound of the chair as she jumped off of it didn't happen this morning. I realized this morning this is not going to be easy for awhile. Our little 3 yr old pepsi seems to be missing her too, wanted to go outside then inside then outside back and forth obviously looking for her big sister......wife had said awhile ago when chevy goes we would wait a long time if at all to get another pup......this morning already she is making phone calls looking for a new puppy....

    Today we are sending our beloved Chevy to heaven. A place where she can be young again, for  over 18yrs she was loyal and protective of everyone she knew. We are very sad and yet proud of her for 18 yrs.
    God bless you girl one day we will be together again
