    L-Boxx Question/Rant

    I looked for a label maker not to long ago but didn't get very far with it lol. It is nice having everything in one box. Can take it with you and you know everything is there. Anything paint related is in the box minus drop cloths or trays. Paint sticks and openers are in there as well. No more trying to remember where stuff is scattered at.

    L-Boxx Question/Rant

    Have you gotten the hammer drill in? How do you like it? I had it in my cart for a month and never pulled the trigger. I really should have it was a great price for less than $90.

    L-Boxx Question/Rant

    I have 2 lboxx3's filled with stuff. One box has all paint supplies and another has my sander, grinder and accessories for both in them. I doubt I would ever get a lboxx4.
  4. I almost bought both sets of clamps. I just bought a six pack of Irwin clamps for $15 at ace and not sure if I need any smaller clamps. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  5. The ridgid one at my HD looked pretty beat and not all attachments on it. I like that the kobalt has a higher rip capacity but I think the fence on the ridgid would be better. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  6. Possibly. If I remember right I went in to look at the ridgid table saw. I knew it was going on sale for black Friday and also checked out the kobalt saw as well. Both are still on sale and need to decide which one to get. The kobalt is $100 cheaper. Decisions decisions. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  7. I actually walked out of hd without buying anything the other day Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  8. $1.68 central il Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  9. Only went to ace and got: 6 pk Irwin clamps for Gearwrench standard set 130? Piece dremel acc kit 6" craftsman vise Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  10. Bosch batteries have power indicators. Makita is just now putting indicators on their batteries.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  11. i love my bosch tools and am looking to expand mine. I get that new tools come out all the time but that doesnt render that other tool obsolete. The tool worked great before but when that new tool comes out it is automatically junk. I am currently looking at the bosch cordless recip saw myself. I am looking to replace my craftsman 18v recip saw. That saw is old and I guarantee I did not use it to its full potential and I probably wont with the new one either. I think people look to hard into numbers and specs. Look at Jay bates recent vid on his second channel where he is doing tool talk. He builds amazing items with ryobi products. Are they the best? no but it has a lot to do with the person behind the tool. Don't get me wrong, if you have the means and just want a new "better" tool, go for it. I play pool a lot. I could buy a $100 cue and play just as well as my custom cue. But I have the custom cue and play with it because I wanted it. All I'm saying is stats are not everything. I have a microwave with twenty buttons and they do not all get used.
  12. Saw that last month. If rock it fr sure to match all my other blue stuff Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  13. i plan to do that to my sun room in the spring. taking out over half the windows, re drywalling it, and putting new carpet it. it is supposed to be the kids toy room.
  14. all depends on what your plans are for it. do you plan to use it on vehicles as well? if so you will need a bigger one. do you need it to be portable? if it is for smaller needs then im sure it will be just fine for you.
  15. Items are not needed right now as winter is coming and wont be doing anything outside. Makita line looks nice and is an option. Too bad im already invested in Bosch otherwise it would be a no brainer.
  16. Im looking to possibly get into a battery line of outdoor equipment. The two best seem to be the ego and the echo lines. People who have tried both what are your thoughts? Looking for trimmer, blower, chainsaw, possibly mower but not sure.
  17. Like states before buy with what you will be doing in mind. A mechanic will need a different drawer configuration than a wood worker or metal worker. Bow big can you go and budget? Always buy bigger than what you think you need. Tool boxes fill up fast and unexpectedly. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  18. Ryobi string trimmer. Thing would never start. Total pile of junk, I ended up smashing it against a tree. My ryobi blower has been great and it was bought the exact same time as the trimmer. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  19. Channelock is still available at my Lowes. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  20. Have no beef. I have a Lowes, HD, and Menard's all within a mile of each other. I hop back and forth knowing what each one has a better selection in. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  21. Same thing here. I almost picked one up myself but I like the fit and finish on the Masterforce better. For the price I should have bought it though. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  22. good points. I am not a tradesman by profession. I look at it as I only want to spend this type of money once. There are trade offs. If you need a bigger box then dont get a smaller one. a 52" wouldnt fit in my garage, 46 and 41 will. I decided to buy bigger as you will always fill it up. Just like a gun safe, I dont own 27 guns but my safe is nearly full.
  23. These are the reasons why I went with the Milwaukee. I was tempted to spend less and get the 41" Husky as the 51" was too big. The benefits of the Milwaukee box justified the extra cost.
