I believe that the Ridgid brushless drill / saw kit is $179 which is still a great price for what you're getting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been looking for those mini bucket jockeys, but I've never managed to find them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought one but I'm just not at all sure that it's accurate. I've got two other temp guns, cheap $20 models that are pretty consistent. The Milwaukee one however routinely reads 8-10 degrees colder. When I'm trying to figure out the temperature in a kid's room, there's a hell of a difference between 65 and 56. There's allegedly a way to calibrate it, or at least see if it is reading the correct temperature with a bowl of ice water, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet.

Me neither. I just clicked on it again this morning and saw that it was live. Of course NOW, it's out of stock again. All I can suggest is to click on it later this afternoon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 709 is designed as a budget level 12" SCMS. It has a lower cross cut capacity(12x16 for the 780, 12x14 for the 709), lower crown capacity (7 1/2 vs 5 1/2), no XPS lighting, and is 16 lbs lighter (more aluminum / plastic in the construction). The deck is smaller on the 709 as well. I don't think that the 709 is a bad saw at all, but you have to remember what it's good at. All 12" SCMS are not equal. The lower priced models (i.e. the 709) are not going to be as good at cutting big stock as the higher end models. If you can live with cutting 2x10s and 5 1/2" of crown clearance, the 709 looks to be a very nice saw, just don't expect it to beat out or really even have the same features / capacity as the 780. I think a lot of the bad reviews are more related to unrealistic expectations than a bad product. All that having been said, the 779 seems to be new - I've never seen that one before but the specs seem to make it look like the 780 without the XPS system. I couldn't find any reviews so if that's important, you may want to hold off on that one.

It's back in stock! Go go go if you want one because who knows how long the inventory will last this time.

Damn. That'll teach me to wash dishes before buying tools... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, Fuel us $329. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

24 hour sale - kit usually sells for $179 or $119 for bare tool, so $99 is a smoking deal for the kit. http://www.cpooutlets.com/milwaukee-2667-21ct-m18-18v-cordless-lithium-ion-1-4-in--2-speed-right-angle-impact-driver-kit/miln2667-21ct,default,pd.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Old wood stoves are horribly inefficient. My old stove didn't hear for crap compared to the new one and it burned a ridiculous amount of wood. I hated having to feed that thing every two hours. That having been said, outlawing existing stoves is idiotic. What they should do is mandate that all new stoves be high efficiency models. This is like if they said all of a sudden, you couldn't drive your old car anymore because it doesn't get good enough mileage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have any experience with a good wood moisture meter? I need one for firewood and I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick one up that I can use for project wood as well. There's one in the HD deal-o-the-day, but I know nothing about it and $80 seems expensive.

I think you may have forgotten something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No doubt. Found one for $19 on eBay. Amazon third party sellers are always a sure way to pay too much for just about everything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Were you perhaps looking for something like this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

O'rly? I could have sworn that your tag was "Better dead than red"...

Nitecore's are great for looking for things in a dark corner or shining across the street, but they're just not built to stand in a corner and illuminate a dark bathroom when you've got the power off rewiring it. Don't get me wrong, I love my P12, but it's best when I need to look at something and not so great when I need to see everything.

Bah - you people and your googles... Now I've got to wait until the spring to get one

Wasn't there supposed to be a new model of the Colt coming out? What's the difference supposed to be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forums! Given the parameters you've stated, I would suggest Ridgid. The X5 lineup has very well reviewed hammer drills, impact drivers and circular saws. Not only that, but when you buy a kit, and register it of course, the LSA means that you'll never have to worry about batteries dying - free battery replacements for life. While the Ridgid lineup isn't as extensive as the other big names, they are expanding steadily of late. The fact that their tools are also a bit more affordable than some other brands doesn't hurt either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome back to the dark side (at least darker than your yellow tools). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It also only comes with one battery that provides "up to an hour or power"... Up to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clearance tools anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My HD never matches their own clearance prices. I've only ever gotten the "Well, that price is only good at THAT specific store if they have inventory in stock."
