  1. yeah, they started clearing those out a couple weeks ago, or at least that's when i spotted the deal. just went today too and saw quite a few kits left on the shelf at the same price. given the number of kits around me, i'd wait for another round of markdowns before jumping on this one even though it is a decent price.

  2. Been trying to figure out how to attach thumbnails to posts. Thanks for the help NERemodeling.

    Let's see if this works:

    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.

  3. i get a real kick out of seeing these logo-ed trucks whenever i'm out and about. saw a guy inside restocking some of the power tools. current generation m18 fuel tools were being clearanced, although not at dramatically reduced prices. does anyone know if milwaukee uses ford exclusively? that would make me like them so much more.

  4. I think I deleted a similar spam post awhile ago because it was a crap post that didn't make sense. I don't want to make fun of people here that are not first language English speakers we have them here, but this was just crap from the start. This time I had to see what the hell it was really about.

     

    i agree with you completely. this is one of the "nicest" forums i've ever been on, with hardly any hate or bashing going on, so would certainly want to avoid ridicule just because english isn't the companies primary language. this seems like a product that was lost in translation, but seriously they could've tried a little harder if they are serious about selling here.

     

    i'd also have to agree the product looks like crap, though. a brushless hammer drill with only 550 in-lbs torque? for $229?? i dont think so...

  5. i'm so jealous of all of you people!! the more i see these the more i want them... nalu, you guys should really figure out a way to sell these, cause you know they will sell like mad. i'm sure there's all kinds of issues, but could be worth the hassle if you could eventually use the same TIA+tool brand logo on other products like shirts, hats, etc. can't be cheap to run the website and everything else that goes into it, so more options in the store would certainly help

  6. thought i'd mention it hasn't been 48 hours since you first posted and TIA has already added 20 followers based on the 408 listed in your screenshots. pretty good, but i think we can all do better! join and support TIA!! based on everyone's comments i'm excited to actually see my first stream!

  7. Ankur, thanks for asking this. First I must say that I agree with you about all the Twitter spam. I hate it. It's the same reason why I hate Facebook. I have both a Twitter and a Facebook account but I only dabble in them.

    I only mention to sign up with twitter because it's easier if you all ready have a twitter account. It will pull all the information from twitter so you can find people quicker. I will edit my post later and correct my statement. I don't want to encourage people to make a Twitter account if they don't want to.

    Twitter and Facebook can be very intrusive. All the "Do you know this person" and "You should follow that person" ticks me off.

    So please, by all means, sign up whichever way you wish. I don't believe that signing up with a Twitter Account will have any benefit for TIA.

    Just mash those hearts whenever TIA goes live. Thanks again Ankur

    awesome, thanks for the clarification. i'll stick with phone# since i don't need to find anyone except TIA for now.

  8. The Home Depots in my area have Bosch laser levels and such but the cordless drills, drivers, etc have been phased out.

     

    great point. i do see the bosch name and logo around HD, but i don't recall seeing actual power tools lately...

     

    even still, HD has a clear advantage in tool selection over lowe's, from hand tools to power tools. if you removed the kobalt tools, the area dedicated to tools at my area stores would be drastically reduced. i don't think the same could be said for husky at HD.

  9. might be blasphemous, but since i only need one for personal use i've always stuck with metal looking pen-type gauges. i have no doubt that a $1 (or often free) gauge is not going to be as accurate as what you mentioned, but for regular driving it's just fine in my opinion

  10. side note: last week I had a roofing company redo our roof, 4 guys 2 days 85 bundles...every time I went outside 2 of them were looking at their phones.......when the roof was done their boss came by to check everything, I said is that why my quote is so high you have to factor in 8 hours of phone time? WTF?

     

    this is exactly the type of situation the technology could help with! right now bossman has to physically come out to see what the nuckleheads are or are not doing... with this tech the boss just opens up the app and sees that two tools havent been running in 20 minutes or that they've only completed 70% of the work that should be done within a certain time frame.

     

    it sounds to me like the greatest benefit of this tech in not necessarily the end user holding the tool, but rather the site foreman who needs to oversee the work and make sure that everyone is working as efficiently as they should. if they aren't then it becomes crystal clear where the lag is coming from, instead of these guys just covering for each other. i can certainly see larger worksites or corporate clients with huge workforces implementing something like this to stay on top of their workers. i seem to be in the minority here, but this looks promising for the big guys.

  11. wow, that's an incredible setup! love to see people taking pride in their tools. when i was younger i felt like the dirtier the tool, the more manly i was because it was obvious i was using them more. now i understand how that thinking is ridiculous, not to mention destroys the tools.

  12. i'll piggyback on most other comments, the m12 is easily the best, but only if we're talking about the m12 fuel. the standard brushed is still pretty good, but i would rate the bosch above it for its greater power and smaller size. price wise i don't see a huge difference between most of the 12v... i think it's $40 more for the m12 fuel vs brushed... can't see that being a deal breaker for someone using the tool everyday.

     

    i'd rank them m12 fuel, bosch ps41, m12 brushed and everything else

  13. nalu - what's the reason you suggest using twitter versus phone #? i personally hate twitter for all the garbage that is constantly "tweeted" around, and actually had an account for awhile but there's just so much spam. does it benefit TIA to have actual twitter users sign up? if so, i'll gladly reopen an account, but i'd rather not...

  14. Why does everyone think us Florida people are crazy is it because we're on the news all the time..lol

     

    i can't get enough of the florida bashing! i spent 26-ish years of my life in the panhandle and gainesville, and the news ain't wrong about us! even when you think you've seen it all, she'll hit you with another WTF?! this one isn't actually recent, but still hilarious...
