I use a 4x4 or a double gang box. I put circuit 1 on the left and circuit 2 on the right. I don’t usually put more than 3-4 receptacles per circuit, that way I know they will be less likely to overload. Sometimes we will change the color, but they are always labeled.

It does, but it eats blades. [emoji15] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That is precisely why I bought the DTD154 instead of the DTD170. I wanted the speed and torque, but I didn’t need the extra modes or plastic cowl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You realize they make more on consumables than the tools, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depending on your service, a little 60A sub is pretty good for shop tools etc. Unless you need heavy duty welding equipment. Just make sure you get 2 circuits (minimum) for the bench. I like using a couple of double gang with 2x 20A T-slot receptacles. That way if you pop a breaker you can unplug, move it over and continue. It’s nice to have the ability to run two high amperage tools side by side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should be pretty inexpensive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some electricians get mad when they can’t supply the materials and mark them up. If you hire an electrician, just get him to pull the permit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the workshop in the house or detached building? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sub panels are pretty cheap. Yes you can use in resi. Unless you can pull a homeowners permit, get a licensed sparky to do it. And pull the permit, don’t let them talk you out of it. The inspection will cover your ass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been waiting for the Ranger. I wasn’t impressed with the Colorado/Canyon, especially considering the price. I am a little bummed that Ford didn’t bring in the Turbo Diesel option that’s available outside of NA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The chuck should be the same. Why would I pay more for a hammer/Drill/driver if I plan on buying a real Rotary Hammer? Thats why. Not everyone uses or needs a drill with hammer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s called “man potpourri “, breathe it in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True! Licensing seems to be the only thing North America has excelled at! And ChrisK, My comment was seriously a joke, hopefully it wasn’t taken seriously! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are buying something strictly because it is “Made in America”, you are shortchanging yourself. Made in the USA with global materials is more marketing wank. Unless you think that where something is assembled somehow makes it more durable or reliable. Buying a better tool doesn’t mean you are less American, it means you are smart. We live in a global economy now. Tools make me money. Why on earth would I settle for mediocre, just for the sake of patriotism? It’s the same idiots who shipped the jobs overseas who want us to buy American now. They still built everything overseas, but somehow, assembly means American made. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am a sucker for flashlights. Normally I would avoid a proprietary battery, but I am sure I can replace the 18650 if needed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I like the Irwin Speedbor , the ones that are twisted with 3 blades. Daredevils are cheap, but the tips deform easily and they can’t handle anything hard. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Man, if the laminations are separating already, that’s some pretty shoddy quality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Brushless does have its place, it just doesn’t need to be in everything. I agree that some of the current designs feel rushed. Not built to last. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Therein lies the fundamental problem with brushless tools. Aside from being expensive, the electronics are not bulletproof. Potting only helps moisture resistance so much. Heat is a bigger issue and potting can increase thermal stresses and reduce repairability. I love my Brushless stuff, but I know I need to take care of them. If I wanted beater tools, I would buy the newer 4 pole brushed stuff. Takes a beating and cheap like stink to repair. But I love precision and all that Brushless has to offer. It’s a trade off, but I think it’s worth it. Especially for impacts and drills. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nano tube batteries have a two minute charge time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Guys will also tend to throw a freshly drained battery on to the charger. The cooling helps bring those battery temps down. Rapid charging does produce heat, cooling allows for faster charge times. Lithium batteries will not “cool themselves” when you rapid charge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a sick box. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Tool chests! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thats one of the reasons I love the Ridgid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was trying to find who is making Southwire meters. Came across these guys. Not familiar with them, but their stuff is pretty cool. https://www.ht-instruments.com/en/products/digital-multimeters/trms-multimeters/ht64/ BMack37, check it out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
