Awesome set there, how's the fuel screw driver? I've often thought about upgrading but I'm not sure if it's really worth the upgrade, if I need the extra Torque I just grab the impact

It was my very first M12 and its tied for my favorite tool. It's got the cojones to sink pocket screws in oak but still clutch out so I don't overdrive the fastener. I use it all the time for anything that has a pre-drilled hole. Don't get me wrong, the impact is awesome, but sometimes it's a bit too easy to overdrive a fastener, especially in soft wood or on pre-made stuff I have to put together.

The M12 Jigsaw is by far my favorite M12 tool. It's small, comfortable, precise, and I've yet to find a job it couldn't handle acceptably.
There are a lot of great M12 tools, but it was a first of its kind and even now it's one of the few common tools that there really isn't a very similar alternative to. Very under appreciated IMO./quote]
I was in the fence with the M12 jigsaw when HD was clearing it out for $60. What finally convinced me not to get it was the fact that a lot of reviewers said that, without a built in blower, the sight line was just too hard to keep clean to run a straight cut or even see what you were doing. The anti chip plastic insert only made it worse.
That'll teach me to listed to Internet reviewers...

You know kdv. I'm in the same boat as you. The bag I was I could get is the veto pro pack tech pac backpack. On my wish list because of the price $250.00. So in the mean time I was looking at the Home Depot. But will watch these thread to see if there is an good alternative. Thanks for posting.

Haha. You and me both. I regularly stare at the OT-XL, wondering how to justify it when my Husky bag fits all of my stuff and just refuses to rip, break or otherwise give me some excuse to replace it.

The other day, I was had the misfortune of setting down my tool bag near a leak I was getting ready to fix. Needless to say, everything inside was slightly damp from a mist caused by the dripping water. Luckily, I had my electrics out so they were spared. I had to take everything out to dry it out, so I figured it was the perfect time to take a "here's what's in my tool bag" picture. I know there's another thread for electrician work bag, but this is a general, everyday, fix crap around the house sort of tool bag.
I know there's far too much stuff in it for a pro to walk around with every day, but I'm definitely not a pro and the farthest I've got to carry it is up 4 flights of stairs.
So what does everyone else have in their go-to, general work tool bag?

Too bad they are no longer the family run company that stood for quality. Kind of like Milwaukee, sell the name and whore it out. At least TTi isn't completely ruining Milwaukee's reputation.
Klein used to be my go to. Now my bag has more Knipex and Wera.
Funny how I gravitate to the German stuff.

I thought that a Klein was still in charge and that it was a privately held company. I know that they outsource the electronic tools overseas and that there have been some cost cutting issues, but it's still American owned and run.

Like a French cleat but just a floating shelf. Make a frame with solid wood skinned in the flooring. you can use 1/4" ply and attach the flooring to that if it's easier. Secure that to the wall then slide your shelf over the piece.
Check out this video for inspiration.
That's a pretty neat idea.
This guy is seriously all about the Ryobi. Is he sponsored? I can't think of any other reason he'd have SOOOO much green, right down to the tape measure and hearing protectors.

Got home today and there was a nice, big box o toys waiting for me.
More Red!
I've been eyeballing the vacuum for a while. It's been a toss up between this one and the corded hybrid dewalt, but team red won out because it was just more powerful. The planer was a "well, I need a planer, might as well get the M18 and not worry about a cord" sort of decision. I do wish it was brushless like the leaked yellow XRP planer, but I probably won't notice the difference.

I think the M18 Fuel sawzall is sealed to prevent just this dirty of water damage from cutting pipes full of water. It's just a shame that the Hackzall hasn't gotten the same treatment.

It's more a shame that it took twenty years for the woman to get anyone till listen to the fact that he shoved his junk in her face just because he could play football. How would you feel if it were you wife or worse yet, your daughter that had some privileged college athletes assault? I'm thinking that if it were me and I find it about it, the kid would never have had a professional career in the first place as he would have suffered a career ending injury pretty soon after he did it.

Trying not to buy one of these sets:
Chicago Latroble 150 series 29-piece drill bit set, $58 (Used, repackaged): http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000LDH1LC/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used
I know nothing about Chicago Latrobe. Used drill bits also give me pause...
-
On mine, the black sleeve sort of looks like it wobbles a bit, but the actual bit itself is straight as an arrow - verified with a 14" bit with no wobble at all at the end.
-
Signed up again, though I may have already been signed up with a different email - I'm definitely covered now!

The reds and black marker 36 packs are also on sale.
Red Fine Point
Black Chisel Tip
I pulled the trigger on all 3 - I imagine I'll get them some time this summer.

I hate when you plan on something taking just a couple hours. Then run into a mess and be there all day and the next. Lol it never fails.

My favorite is when you start a project that you're SURE you have all the parts for and end up having to make three trips to the store to buy parts that you never expected to have to replace and tools that you didn't know you'd ever need.

I'd buy some if they had different height boxes. The one size might be great for some tools, but circular saws, sanders and other stuff that's tall just won't fit. I'd really love for big red to make modular storage without having to hack it together yourself.

Most warrantys are not any good any way. They'll weasel ther way out of it Or you'll pay more in shipping than the tools worth for the warranty.

Milwaukee= pre paid two way shipping, fast turnaround and mostly no questions asked (unless you've done something stupid) for five years. It makes Bosch's one year warranty look pitiful.

Haha. When I first read this, I thought to myself "why would you need to ream out a PVC pipe? That's silly. Does it get full of build up from dirty water? Maybe the threads need reconditioning, but how did this thing cut threads?"
So I googled it and only then remembered the whole PVC cement deal. I'm an idiot.

The only way to make that better would be to make the free handle a screwdriver with a flippable bit!

Z brackets are essentially metal French cleats - just thinner than you could make them with wood. Well, I suppose you could make French cleats out of super thin hardwood, but the metal variety it's easier to put together in the field and requires less equipment.

I'd never use nails on anything that requires withdrawal strength. Nails pull out easy too easily unless you're using giant ring shank framing nails. Glue would also probably not be your best bet as the entire weight on your shelf would be held by the drywall paper.
For a shelf, I'd suggest securing it to the studs with structural screws. You can always countersink them and cover the hole with a plug if you want an invisible mount. If you wanted to get fancier, you could also go with blind shelf supports or Z brackets. Either would give you an invisible mount and good strength.
