Very strange. My HD iPhone app shows a bunch of coffee tables and shelves on sale for the daily special.

I just looked these up on HD.com - both are showing as out of stock online. Is this some teaser for a future promo?

Damn - now I have to find $400 to spend on lights... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not quite as good a deal as two free batteries, but if anyone is already flush with dewalt batteries, CPO is offering 16% off on dewalt goodies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was eyeing the deal today but I'm just not sure what I'd use the tools for. I'm not much of a gear head - just about everything that I do involves wood. I've contemplated getting a 1/2" impact for driving really large lags, but I have a feeling that my M18 Fuel impact driver with an adapter or nut driver would be just about as effective as this M12 wrench at driving lags. Someone convince me otherwise! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The drill bit that I'm using is the one that comes with the Kreg jig. I know that you can buy replacement bits, but this one is brand new so I wouldn't have thought that it would be dull already from drilling about 100 holes into pine. The drill I'm using is a M18 2604 so it only spins at 1750 rpm I believe. Now as far as backing, I don't think that would do any good as the tear out is in the face - the hole doesn't actually go through the board. Here's a quick pic that shows what I'm referring to. If others have drilled with this class dill without problems, I might try buying another bit before I contemplate a new drill. In any event, I'm pretty sure I'm not quite ready to make the plunge into the Festool pool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a little background is in order here. I recently have gotten a Kreg K5 pocket screw system. I'm just starting to use it on my first big project - built in shelves for my sunroom. Anyway, I've been having a heck of a time getting clean holes in pine. The right side of the holes often have tear out on the edge. Using my M18 drill instead of the M12 helped a little but it's still not really reliably clean. In my research, I came across a number of posts that said that cordless drills didn't have the RPMs to dill these holes cleanly and that you needed at least 2500 RPMs. Well, I didn't hop on the Fein deal a while ago and I am reluctant to go with a corded drill on principle. So, I was looking at the DCF620. The specs say that it can do 4400 RPM, which is more than twice what most cordless drills put out. I know the torque won't be there at those speeds, but for shallow pocket holes, I don't think I care really. The speed is what's going to get the job done cleanly. The question in, can you drill with this screwdriver? The Kreg bit had a hex shank, so it's physically possible, but I'm wondering if anyone that has one had tried popping a drill bit in and making some holes. Good idea? Bad idea? What do you think?

I saw the M12 Fuel drill in clearance today for a whopping $12 off! The drill/impact fuel kit was also up to 199 from the 179 it was on BF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

$100 is a smoking deal on they stand. It's no Bosch, but then again it's a third the price. Honestly, the only real criticism that I have about it is that it's a little hard to raise up with a heavy saw installed but not exceptionally so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bah! I just realized that my new toy is missing the depth rod. I know I can order one but had I known it was missing, I could have negotiated a bit more... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Width?

I really should know better than going to Home Depot over my lunch break, but I had to get a couple of strands of Christmas lights and some zip ties to string them up with. That was my first mistake. The second mistake was peeking on the clearance rack. My third mistake was saying to myself, "well I'll only buy it if I can get the cashier to accept my electronic Lowes coupon. Needless to say... I can't say I regret the trip because $190 was a heck of a deal for the 2712 and I have been eyeballing a rotary hammer. I just wasn't expecting to buy one today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I tried both Lowes and a harbor freight coupons today at my local HD. No luck getting them to accept either. They said they may honour a Lowes coupon if it's pre printed, but not an electronic coupon that I print out. I haven't actually seen a pre printed cotton in ages. Anyone run into this before and have any strategies or sources for actual printed coupons? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw those - what exactly does one use round nose pliers for? Perhaps picking up O-rings?

Who has the Jet clamps on sale already? Rockler and Acme both start tomorrow I thought.

From the picture, it looks like you can put a 2 1/2" hose on it. Is that in fact true? I've got an extra 2 1/2" hose from a vacuum that died and if this model will take it, I'll definitely pick one up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure the strippers aren't the best they offer, but what's wrong with the Phillips? I've actually had a good experience with my Klein screwdrivers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just picked up the hole saw kit yesterday. It's quite nice for the money and a lot cheaper than the carbide hole saw kit I've been eyeballing at Rockler. If anyone is in need of a mobile stand for their miter saw, the Ridgid MSUV is really very nice. Not quite as easy to stand up as the Bosch, but for $100 it's an awesome value on a solid rig.

Don't they take the $150 off of the refund price when you return the set that enabled the discount? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll see your Red and raise you... even more red! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ordered it online and had it delivered, so there was no real opportunity to read the box. I was going by the marketing blurb, which still says that it does chipping. I'm not saying it's a bad tool our that I wouldn't have liked to keep it, just that since I do need to pick up an M18 rotary, there was no actual need for me to have both and so back to the depot it went.

I'm in for one. I had to get my cart over 40 for free shipping so I broke down and picked up a Woodpecker's 24" Ruler. https://www.toolnut.com/Woodpeckers_WWR24_Woodworking_Rule_24_p/wwr24.htm I really love the other Woodpeckers stuff that I've gotten so far.

Well, I've got my 2604 for drilling holes into tile, which I coincidentally need to do this weekend. Since I'm going to have to suck it up and get a rotary hammer that does chiselling, the M12 went back to the depot. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a good deal on an M18 now. The funny thing is that when I went in to return it, the person at the desk told me that since I got it with a discount, I wasn't going to get full price refunded. I'm pretty sure she was convinced that I was trying to pull a fast one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I couldn't resist the temptation to get the M12 rotary hammer that was the daily deal from the depot. I justified it by telling myself that I'd need it to remove the tile in my sunroom when I fix the rotten subfloor. According to the description on the website, "For maximum versatility, regardless of application or orientation, the tool also features 2-mode operation, rotary hammer and hammer-only." So I opened it up last night and discovered that the promo materials lied. The problem is that the "two modes" are rotary hammer and just plain drill. There is no hammer only mode so it's pretty much useless for chipping tile. Why the heck would anyone use a rotary hammer with its expensive-ass SDS bits as a regular drill? I suppose I'll keep it as it was a great price and I could always use it for the occasional anchor in concretely, but I'm more than a little bit annoyed at myself for not double checking the specs instead if relying on the marketing copy.
