  1. Need help deciding

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    alright I just made a cut through some 1/2" EMT. I used the Milwaukee EMT blade that came with the saw. It went through it pretty good I must say. This was just one cut though. I did notice a bit of vibration, that might be a concern. I'm not an Electrician and I don't cut EMT all the time. As for cutting out plaster, I don't have any here but I think it would get the job done. 

     

    Hope that helped out a bit. I would still hold out for the FUEL version

    Quick question:

     

    What are the old work boxes made out of? If I have something similar here in the shop, I can try cutting it up and giving you a better review.

     

    I'll also look for some EMT and Copper pipes that I may have

    Hi Tyler,

     

    I have the Milwaukee M12 2420 Hackzall. This is the brushed version and not the FUEL version.

     

    I'm not impressed with this tool. It's under powered in my opinion.

    I used it to cut some screws that were a little too long.

    I screwed some plywood boards together and the screws were sticking

    out the back side. I decided to just cut them off using the 2420 Hackzall with

    a Metal cutting Milwaukee blade and it took a bit too long for my liking. I was

    expecting it to go through it like butter but It almost struggled with simple

    drywall screws. Takes a long time to cut through a 2x4 as well. 

     

    I do like the size, it's very portable and easy to use. I will be picking up the FUEL version

    in the future. I received the 2420 for free when I bought the 2453 Impact Driver so I can't

    complain.

     

    My Vote:

    Milwaukee M12 2520 FUEL Hackzall.

  5. How to post pictures

    in Site Help & Feedback

    Posted

    nalu, and anyone else reading, it's clear to me how to attach thumbnails, but how to you get an entire picture within a post so we don't have to click on the picture? i see others doing it, but nothing i try seems to work. any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Ankur,

    You may need to use some type of image hosting website. I use a website called Imgur.com. You can easily upload and edit a picture using the Imgur website. You will also get a link to the picture that you can then paste here in the forum. I'll try and explain this better tomorrow. I'm sure there are other ways of doing this but this is one way that it can be done

    Faz, that's one the best looking shops I've seen. The lighting is abundant, the floor is immaculate, the tools are amazing (I'm looking at all those Festool boxes). I wouldn't want to leave that slice of heaven that you call a cave. Awesome stuff

    Here are couple that I have and like that are not on your list.

    2361 floodlight

    0850 vac

    2626 multi tool

    I have been eyeing the 2530 also. Nalu says it's awesome.

    Yup 2530 got used all day today cleaning up scrap materials around the shop. It's a very convenient saw to use

    What a great dilemma to be in. You sure have a lot of nice tools on your list, and it looks to me like you've got all the heavy hitters.

    I suggest maybe getting some tools off the beaten path:

    M12 2444 Caulking Gun

    M12 2438 Spot Polisher

  15. When dan makes multiple periscopes just to please the crew

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    Yes your very right, Dan loves the crew! But I will be honest with you, I think I am going to take a break from Periscope for awhile. Somebody pissed me off in there, and frankly, I've been involved in far too many dissconnects to even be able to experience Periscope as something fun. Its kind of become a drag. I do love the crew though, you guys make it what it is. Its nice to have like a tool fellowship going on here. :)

    Yeah it can be frustrating for me too. I don't type fast enough on my phone and end up spending most of my time staring at the keyboard on my phone. When finally have something typed up, it becomes irrelevant to the conversation lol. Now I mostly listen, chime in here and there, and create hearts. Still fun to talk with the crew though

    Holy Crap Nalu,,, that looks awesome,,, and my boys think the same,,, LOL attachicon.gifimage.jpg

     

    Hahaha that's awesome. I still haven't figured out why some pictures get flipped upside down, it's not a huge deal though.

    After doing a little more research, it seem's like the proper way of making Huli Huli Chicken is to make a Brine, Dry Rub and a Sauce as demonstrated in the YouTube video. I've even seen a video of the spikey yellow haired dude doing it this way. I'm gonna have to give this a shot when I get the chance.

    Yes sir I find myself reaching for the 12s before the 18s!!

     

    lol...I'm in the same boat as well. For me, cordless tools are all about portability. The M12's are very powerful and very portable, I've been using them more than my M18's. Although, its good to know that I can bust out the big gun's when needed.

    If you've ever come to Hawaii, you may have noticed billows of smoke on the side of the street, followed by a mouth watering aroma of what's called "Huli Huli Chicken". Huli (pronounced Hoo-Lee) means "turn" in the Hawaiian language. It's often cooked by turning the chicken over an open flame.

    I’ve never used this, but it might come in handy:

    First, I must say that this isn't my own recipe and I don't remember how I got it. I usually eyeball all the ingredients and it end's up tasting the same every time. I use charcoal or mesquite wood (it's in abundance here in Hawaii) it gives a nice smokey flavor.

     

    Make the Marinade and soak the chicken for at least an Hour in the refrigerator, you can also have it soaking overnight in the frig. I buy cheap chicken parts sold in the frozen section. Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade as it cooks on the grill and keep turning the chicken. This is where I grab a seat next to the grill, crack open a beer, flip the chicken over and baste every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. Timing would depend on how well you like your chicken done.

     

    Huli Huli Chicken Marinade:

    1/3 Cup Soy Sauce

    1/3 Cup Ketchup

    1/4 Cup Sherry Cooking Wine

    1/4 Cup of Honey

    1/4 Cup of Worchestershire Sauce

    A Squirt of Sriracha Sauce

    2 Tbsp of Sesame Oil

    3 Crushed Cloves of Garlic

    3 Crushed Ginger Root Pieces

    1/3 cup Brown Sugar

     

    Here’s a youtube video on how to make this, it’s a different method, but I think it’s better than what I do:

  22. How to use Periscope

    in Site Help & Feedback

    Posted

    Good write up..my question is how do Ty see the hearts you leave??

    Good question. I hope this helps.

    While watching the stream, it will look like this. Tapping on your screen will make Hearts appear. The more Hearts that appear, the more popular TIA will become. This supports the show so please Tap Away like a mad man lol. I believe Hearts also count when you watch a Replay, if I'm wrong, please correct on this.

    ed0e92fe26f80fd692a6527c2ecade04.jpg

    Swipe up on your Phone and your screen will look like this. Find your name and the amount of hearts you have will be displayed below.

    Periscope is awesome! 

     

    It's like the Bonus Features you get on a DVD. The Toy you get in the Cereal Box (Not sure if this is relevant nowadays). The Cherry on Top of the Cake. The FREE Battery you get for buying a Tool.

  24. anyone using corner clamps?

    in Accessories

    Posted

    I've seen better version's of the clamps I have. I believe Bessey and Jorgensen make some good ones. I've also made up a bunch of home made right angles that I can clamp the work pieces together using quick grips or c-clamps. In all honesty though, I rarely use these. It's too slow for me to clamp things together. I've been using a speed square to keep things at right angles and a 16 guage brad nailer to hold them in place. For even quicker jobs I use CA glue with an Activator.

    If your just taking your time to do a great job, the clamps work great. I have cheap ones that I bought years ago and they've served me well.
