    Loaded question beckoning a BUNCH of loaded answers. ;)

    Hope your wearing boots ;)

    Seriously. It's up to you. What do you want your tools to do? What do you do? Do you work in the trades? If so are you in mechanical or carpentry? Are you a woodworker?

    I have a ton of different brands but Dewalt, Bosch and Makita are my favorites. They all fall behind my Festool tools.

    Jason mentioned Coptools article. I just read it and it was really informative..

    Also welcome to the forum.

    I agree with Chris, (loaded question) it's just like what do Plumbers prefer? Ridgid or Rothenberger? Electricians for Klein or Greenlee? What do you need your Brand to do? All are great tools, I believe it comes down to preference. I love Hilti, love Makita, love Bosch, used to love Porter Cable, always loved Milwaukee, loved Dewalt for a short time. And I still love my Paslode nailers..

    And a lot of time it depends on your budget.

    There are a lot of great cordless tools coming down the Pike and I like many others here are keeping my eyes and ears open for the new releases... Good luck in your choices Jack

    I've got the clamps, that's a great deal. I heard the centipede is awesome!!!

    Bits were $20, Clamps were about $7, and the Centipede was 50, down from 60 (it's the 2'X4' one) I think that's a good deal,,, just wish I had more coin to spend,,, lol

    If you pull the drawer out and look into the cabinet you will see 2 rubber pawls that the end of the slide will lock into. Since they are rubber and dry, there's a lot of friction on them when they go to close. I grabbed some white lithium grease and a acid brush and and put some grease on them. Once I did that they close perfectly. I also lubricated all of the slides while I was at it and that also helped a lot.

     

    Here's a video that I made that walks you through the entire process.

     

    Great video 99, and looks like you got a nice spread of tools to fill that box with

    ... Very cool

    Low Voltage circuits are pretty cool. Always remember. You need the following--- Power Supply, Switch, Load, for a circuit.

    Look into Carols books and she explains all of this in great detail and very easy to understand. They are very inexpensive books. You won't find books like hers in any Trade school...

  19. Hyde Pole Sander

    I have to say that this sander works real well. After my first coat of compound I decided to give the joints a test run with the sander. I am impressed, virtually no dust even when I sanded over rough patches. I also installed hepa style filter in my shop vac.
