n00b

Plans to expand the line in the future? Would a 40v drill/sawzall even be possible? I pulled the trigger on the 20v trimmer...because...well...I needed a trimmer...and I figured if nothing else, I'd be able to utilize the 20v battery for other tools later in life....thus, having zero interest in the 40v design at the time.

Lowe's doesn't sell Milwaukee or Makita Murdoch's sells ONLY DeWalt Home Depot sells no Kobalt Husky is found at Home Depot Irwin at Lowe's I've seen Black & Decker at both Home Depot and WalMart Everyone sells Bostitch Spyder random-Sawzall-blades are found only at Lowe's What gives? Do different manufacturers enter into exclusive retailer contracts? Does that alter your buying habits insofar as only hitting one place to buy gear and random supplies?

A n00b here....DeWalt's 40v-line is all yardwork tools, correct?

What sort of set-up do you have going on for your battery storage? Something fabricated or purchased?

Double post. UGH.

Milwaukee owns all! HA!

Cuz the lady's hot...and the dude's a tool...."I'LL JUST FILL IN THIS OLD POOL WITH BRICKS!11!" And what they're able to accomplish is pretty impressive.

Thanks.

Can't get the link to paste into the text box....weird...

Ahhh...so the homeowner has to post $45K upfront before beginning construction?

Really? How so?

Anybody know who foots the bill for a Holmes reno/fix? I know it's commercial TV and all, but he's gotta be dropping $50K+ at times.

Good point. One would assume that if the time was taken to review and speak decently of a tool, the same time would be taken if/when said tool then crapped out... Could be that tools are getting upgraded constantly and the "older one" are getting lost in the shuffle..."Dude, this Milwaukee M12 Drill is DA BOMB...*six months later* DUUUDE!, this M18 FUEL is DA BOMB'ER!!1! *chucks M12 onto workbench never to be wielded again*

NOT trying to start a Flame War here...so, if that starts boo-for-you and I hope a mod shuts this down. Alright. Bad experiences. New to the toolworld I'm asking guys I know their opinion on things..in trying to naildown a single platform in order to rock cordless...what handtools are worth the price and will get the job done...which inevitably leads into "ZOMG AND NEVER BUY *INSERT BRAND HERE*". With that, I try to pry and actual explanation, some times it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Any tools or products that you've bought that either didn't live up to your expectation OR you were just flat-out disappointed with? Any retailers, I'm speaking online mainly, that have shady/sketchy customer service or return policies? Like I said, I'm not trying to come down and any one brand or any one business...for me, this is taking the path of least resistance and picking a collective brain that has years of experience...kinda like the battery question I asked...If I don't know something, I wanna do what I can to get in the know. Thanks.

I've a PM9. You?

A couple of podcasts I enjoy... http://www.homerepairtutor.com/ Short episodes a few times a week (via iTunes) http://aceonthehouse.adamcarolla.com/ Carolla and his buddy Ray talk shop and home repair. Definitely NSFW (via iTunes) Television Shows... 'Rehab Addict' Nicole Curtis renovates a couple of homes, pretty cool to watch (via Netflix) 'Holmes Inspections' Mike Holmes fixes stuff...the interesting part is the difference in code standards between the US and Canada (via Netflix) Anything else I should check out?

Just curious. Thanks.

I'll just leave this here...

Sounds like an adult-film "actor". Just sayin...

And thus began The Great DeWalt Pile-on of 2015.

Holy balls. Awesome response. Thanks!
