The secret is to go there every day and check. Mark downs happen on random days.

That's a good point.

I agree it's a lot of work. Here in NC the stores are usually picked clean. I have found a few good deals but it takes 2-3hours of looking around the store. You also have to go 3-4 times a week if you want to find the good mark downs.

How many feedback did they have? Sorry to hear about that. At least you got your ratchet.

I haven't used the 2621, but I can tell you the 2720 is awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to choose the fuel again.

Thanks, It's really hard to pass up a Fuel tool deal.

Moitas, What is the model number of that 1/2" impact? That's an interesting tool.

I agree with dwain. The particular application would make a difference. If your turning a small bit I would have no doubt the M12 fuel with a 4.0 battery would win over a brushed M18 w/1.5 AH battery. With bigger bits I would be interested in seeing someone do that comparison.

Ok I know I have a problem now. I went in my HD and was looking around at the tools. To my surprise there sat a 2763-22 kit. There was no price on it. I went up to the counter to get a price. They said someone had ordered it online then returned it. The manger said he would take $100 off the price. I couldn't resist. Did I really need it? Probably not. Did I want it? Absolutely. Now I just need a second job to cover my addition. LOL!

The spotlight is cheap on there too.

Thanks for typing up such a great review. I definatly have this saw on my wish list.

How are you liking the Circular Saw?

One thing the fuel hammer drill is really good at is drilling into plaster. My house was built in the 50s w/ plaster walls I use it all the time. SDS rotary hammer is the way to go for drilling in concrete.

I'm very happy with my M12 tools. The only one that I have on that list is the multi tool. I'm happy with it for light work. I usually reach for the M18 or Bosch MX30E for heavier cutting. The M12 Fuel tools are awesome.

Did you get the Bosch nailer?

Yes. That is just part of it. I knew that might happen before I went, but I decided to try anyway.

What do you like better about the M18? I have the M12 now and I like it. I recently picked up one of the M18 flood lights. I'm liking it so far.

You have to drive to each store and check the prices. Each store operates independently setting mark down prices. I racked up over 200 miles last Saturday driving between stores. I found a few smaller items, but it's debatable if it was worth the gas and time. I was really hoping to find one of the fuel kits new in the box. No luck. When I talked to a couple of the employees they said one person came through and cleaned out there inventory the day of the mark downs. So many people hunt down this stuff to sell on Craigslist and eBay it's really hard to find anything.If anyone lives in central NC I can save you a lot of time, I have checked and none of the stores in this area have the impact.

That's the best answer. Just buy both. LOL!

Another benefit to brushless motors is the timing can be adjusted through the speed controller. In the RC world you can plug your electronics into you computer and look at the data logs and set parameters. You can set stuff like soft start, brakes, timing, etc. with the timing you can advance to get more power or retard to get longer run times. There are cards or thumb drives that you can use at the field to program. There is no reason tool manufacturers couldn't setup this for our tools. Brushes are the timing for brushed motors.

Lol! Our wives think a like. Congrats. You could cut down the bushes around the house.

These are my favorite riding boots. Just a clean classic design that offer good protection. They are made for aerostitch by sidi. They only drawback is they take for ever to get broke in, but once you do they should last a million miles. I have yet to be able to find a pair of street riding boots that I like. I just end up wearing the combat touring boots.

Yes the monster is a timeless design.That is a dual sport helmet. They are designed with the large vents at your mouth. When you are riding off road you are many times moving slow and working hard. With a regular street helmet the face shield will fog up. The big mouth vents helps get your breath out. Also the face shield goes farther down your cheeks to allow better vision of the ground. I have one of the first gen XD's. Before they were renamed the XD they were called the dual sport. I bought one the first year they came out. I don't wear it anymore because it's a 1993 model. Many will say you should replace them every 5 years I use them a little longer, but 1993 is too old. If you want to check the date on yours look at the cover around the long side of the strap. It is stamped there. My XD is a sizable amount louder than the Quantum /f I have. I still like it though. Did you figure out the little red snap at the end of the strap? It keeps the strap from slapping you at speed. Here is a picture of the XD and the Quantum /f

Most Ducati dealers carry Arai helmets. Did you check them out? On a bike like a monster your helmet makes a huge difference. You get straight air on the helmet. Noise levels, ventilation, and comfort difference can be huge between helmets.

Monsters just have to have bar end mirrors.It was a 1996 M900 sitting on the side of the road. It wasn't in very good condition. It had cheap looking chrome handlebars, Aftermarket pegs that wouldn't fold up, Dented tank, all signs of a crashed bike. I called just to see how cheap it was. The guy wanted $3500 and it has 25k miles. I wouldn't be interested at that price considering the condition. I have had a couple of the E900 Elefant's. I went on my 16th birthday and got my car and motorcycle license. What was funny was I was more nervous about the car test. We had one of the E900's that I rode all the time back then.
