Milwaukee. Cordless. Screwdrivers.

The new Milwaukee light-stand and fan...running off of M18 batts AND extension-cord-able. Why are not more (ALL) cordless tools adaptable? Is it just impossible with the current tech? Speaking for myself, I'd have a much easier time pulling the trigger on a tool from a line that I wasn't already "invested in" battery-wise. Just say.

Ya think it's brushless?!?

Whoa. Is Non-OSHA even a thing?!

Zero pride in a job well done, drives me up a wall. Do. Your JOB!

I wonder what those numbers look like today...

Good fir DeWalt stockholders, bad for Porter-Cable fans.

Then what happened?

I've seen this in-store for $169 for the longest time... http://m.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Drill-Driver-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-2-Tool-2691-22/100650378

Coors Heavy. Right now my jam is Leinenkugel's Grapefruit Shandy. So gooood.

Why so many layers of shingles? Just had our roof replaced and the insurance company was super-adamant about us having the old shingles removed...my thought was, "umm. Duh. They need to be replaced. Why wouldn't you remove em?"

If some brands are built exclusively with the random-on-weekends-hang-a-picture-type in mind, then why the vast array of tool line-ups amonst the "Big Dog"/Tradesman tool companies? I can only speak to the Milwaukee brand, because that's what I'm familiar with...and spent many a sleepless night before pulling the trigger on Milwaukee as a brand AND the choice to go M18. SO...my point...Milwaukee makes the M12 and M18 line of tools...and within each line of tools is the "sub-line" of Fuel (brushless) equivalents. Why? The M12 has power...the M12 Fuel has more power...The M18 has even MORE power...the M18 Fuel has EVEEEENNNNN MOOOOOORE power. To what end? Wouldn't it reason that the M12 "base" be more appealing to the "random-on-weekends-hang-a-picture-type" while the M18 line be more appealing to the Tradesman? Sorry if this is a dumb question...but a post from yesterday about someone opining the vast cost difference between a Black & Decker and Milwaukee drill got me thinking.

Feit is the Costco brand. Thinking about swapping out fluorescents for LED tubes, but they're hella expensive.

Yeah, My power company is STILL all about the crappy CFL bulbs, free bulbs, coupons etc. Swapped out nearly all my light to LEDs from Costco. Energy consumption is down drastically. So rad.
