Out of stock across the board!

Just read it over on Toolguyd. So does that mean we're going to have a green table saw in the near future? What will it be called - Stopex?

Just checked and these things are still full price at my HD

Yeah that probably would have come home with me.

I had not heard that about the miter saw, interesting. Speaking of jigsaw, it surprises me that they have not made a brushless version yet.
Seriously - I was really hoping for an updated jigsaw - perhaps something like the European barrel grip HD18JSB.

I also have the 2361... and I have no complaints with it's original design. I know that the 9.0 doesn't fit in this model (without breaking out the back handle), but other than that I think it is great.
You don't have to break out the back handle. Milwaukee will send you the part to swap out to fit the 9.0 if you ask nicely (at least they did for me when the 9.0s first came out).

The new models are good but the first cordless flood light was garbage.
Which cordless flood light don't you care for? I've got the 2361, which I think was their first M18 flood light, and it rocks.

Except the locking mechanism is a cleat style interlock. Those small rounded indents will easily hold mud and dirt. Hell, I have had 3 inches of mud stick to my veto, a smooth surface. Imagine what those new totes will be like with mud and dirt sticking to them!
One thing about my Tstaks I do like is that the bottom is fairly smooth and I don't need to worry about dragging excessive mud into the van!

The obvious answer is 'don't set your toolboxes down in 3" of mud and if you do, hose it off'

Has anyone given any info on how the latching system is protected on the bottom of the Packout? I haven't seen any pictures.
I don't believe that it's specifically protected. However, you can see from this picture that the latch is very small and only extends minimally below the lip and probably not below the bosses on the bottom of the box that latch into the box below. The two protrusions on either side of the handle also look to extend past the locking tab.
Does it need more protection? Who knows, but my guess is that unless you hit it with a hammer in a very specific spot, you'd have a hard time breaking it off.

Not only is it real, it comes with a whole set of bushings for different "cable" sizes...
Click of you dare....

So, I'll go ahead and admit that this an entirely inappropriate comment, but I cringe just a little bit every time I look at this new tool from Dewalt?

All a tick would tell me is "The last time we saw your tools, they were in the garage." What I need is a tracker that tells me that I left my hammer in the sunroom, my daughter stole a screwdriver and left it under the dining room table and that my cat has carried off one of my gloves as prey and it's safely tucked away under the bed. Now THAT I'd pay good money to have.

280... that's 375 CAD... that's more expensive than Systainers, and over twice as expensive as a stack of DS150/300/400 at normal price.
Pricing their storage boxes above systainers is moronic. I love the locking mechanism and the toughness is nice, but I don't drop cinder blocks on my tools.
Bottom line is that I'm just not going to spend more than 3x the amount that I'd spend on TStaks just because they're red. At that price point, I'm all in ordering systainers from amazon.co.uk and still ending up with more $$$ in my pocket to buy more tools..

Any timeframe on the storage boxes?

Ummm.... not sure what to say there but that looks like tool abuse to me. Someone needs to go to counseling to treat their tools better

How would this make any difference at all on a jobsite larger than a garage? It's neat but I just don't see what the appeal is blowing cold air and making your ice melt faster. Maybe if you sit right next to it eating lunch, but beyond that....

Why would anyone want a single battery saw over a duel battery one?
You could always flip that around and say why would anyone want a double battery saw when you can get the same power and capacity with a single battery saw. That way you just have to have 2 batteries - one in the saw and one in the charger. With a dual battery saw, you need 4. Just sayin....

My money would be on making one of their giant rotary hammers cordless.

Ok, so for the nubs among us - what IS the safe way to resaw that log?

Because Milwaukee won't let us have nice things in North America, I had to import from Belgium.

I haven't had a chance to put it through all of the paces yet, but so far, it looks and works great.
The Milwaukee tool case is also just awesome. It's about as strong as a Systainer and looks to stack and hook up to each other. Now, if only Milwaukee would sell these in the US, they'd make a killing.

So I stopped into Sears today to look at the the tools department and I ran across some interesting finds.
First off - the clickbait headline. In the measuring tools department, I had to do a double take when I saw this triangle.
Yes - it's a red anodized aluminum triangle! I wonder where they got that color scheme from.... Made in China of course, but cool looking and it matches my woodpecker stuff.
A second discovery was these odd clamps:
As a surprise, these AREN'T made in China, but rather Slovenia I think. I say they're oddballs because you actually have a forward (big) and reverse (small) triggers for closing and opening them. They looked pretty well made and not at all expensive. I'll have to go back and pick up a few when I can to test them out. You never can have too many clamps and these look like decent ones to boot. There were a lot of new toolboxes too in Black/Red trim and Black/Yellow trim- again, I wonder where they got the color inspiration for those

Looks great. Question though - what did you use to cut the top to length? Those boards are what 3 1/4" or so thick - too much for a circular saw (unless you've got a 10") and way to long to comfortably put on a table saw.

They have been HEPA since the beginning. my 15 year old CT22 is HEPA.
@kornomaniac not sure I understand your question. Just because its autoclean does not mean the bag does not fill up just as fast.
The UDD from Oneda cyclone box is larger than a bag and I can run a small planer into it. Thats really not recommended but does work.
The auto clean version CT36 AC can be HEPA or it can have auto clean enabled but not both st the same time. The auto clean function apparently isn't compatible with the HEPA filter so you have to use a different filter if you have it in AC mode.

Poor mans track saw

These sorts of edge guides are fantastic for cutting short straight edges with a regular circular saw. I made one a few years ago and used the heck out of it.
There are a couple of downsides though that eventually convinced me I needed to buy a TS55. First off, the material I made it out of had to be pretty thin not to bind up on the motor of my 2731. However, with the longer lengths (around 48" or so), it started to flex in the middle and no longer provided a true straight edge. The second problem was that I tended to hold the saw too tightly against the fence to keep to the line. This made the flexing problem worse so I'd loosen up and then it would lift up and start to track incorrectly. It was very stressful cutting up full sheets of plywood so I gave up and drank the green kool aid.
You're a lot more experienced and probably don't hold the saw with a death grip like I do, so you'll be in much better shape I imagine.
