My only advice for garage electrical is to run 2-3 separate circuits for your workbench area, and 1-2 separate circuits along your wall for large equipment, table saws, welders etc. There is nothing worse than tripping breakers in a workshop. Being able to stagger your loads means almost no chance of accidental overload. This would be in addition to basic receptacles as required by your local code. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am sure he would just purchase a new cowl. Gotta love Makita, every part is $10-$20! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Man, tough crowd. I thought some of you guys would get a kick out of seeing an impact working in super slow-mo! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

You can quickly meter it for a short in the windings. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Seriously cool video, he cuts a window into the cowl to catch the hammer and anvil on a high speed cam! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like my Makita, it's exactly what I expected for $150. I like the quick change mechanism a lot. I wasn't foolish to think it would perform better than a $300-$400 corded, but it sure as hell works better than my M18 ever did! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

SDS plus rotary hammer is the second most important tool! My impact driver is my money maker! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

They were exclusive to Home Depot. The "new" part is that other suppliers can carry them now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think that in my case, the seal was just too small. Once it was in the channel, it wasn't protruding out far enough to seal. Like the foam bead was slightly too small. It was probably just a bad design or wrongly sized gasket. I have the same issue with my Milwaukee box. The seal isn't tight all the way around the box. The Milwaukee box flexes so easily that even if you do have a continuous seal, if the bottom is uneven, you get gaps. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I got rid of my tough boxes after driving a hundred miles down a gravel road with my tool boxes in the bed. When I opened the large tool box it was completely full of dust. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

There are too many similarities between the Hitachi and Makita. I don't think they are copying Makita, but it sure looks like Makita is making it for them or helped design it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

FYI, I stuck a 2.0 and a 5.0 in my 2x Rotary Hammer, works fine. The tool flashes the battery gauge when the 2.0 drained too low, to prevent overdrain and battery damage. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Let me tell you, the Hilti is worth the cash. The feel, the powa, the balance, sigh. I would have stayed with Hilti if they had a broader lineup of tools. They just launched a radio not long ago. Other than that, they only have the bare minimum​. If they keep adding tools like bandsaws etc, I think may go back... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Most X2 tools have the fuel gauge and will not let you use batteries that are too low. A fully charged 2.0 and 4.0 should work fine until the 2.0 threshold is reached. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

The M12 Fuel Hackzal is a completely different tool. Dispute being super heavy, it has reasonable vibration and cuts very well. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I always keep a hose, pump and water tank in the van! If I could choose where stuff blows up or needs to be installed, I would be a happy guy. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Except the locking mechanism is a cleat style interlock. Those small rounded indents will easily hold mud and dirt. Hell, I have had 3 inches of mud stick to my veto, a smooth surface. Imagine what those new totes will be like with mud and dirt sticking to them! One thing about my Tstaks I do like is that the bottom is fairly smooth and I don't need to worry about dragging excessive mud into the van! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Set it down in mud and dirt, then see how it works. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

And I have to agree with Bremon I would never give up my Stabilas for a Milwaukee level at that price! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I think it's all about perspective, as an electrician fingerless gloves are awesome and you pretty much have to have a tape measure with magnets! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

And by size I meant the 12 inch blade Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
