  1. I always trusted fluke Milwaukee is my power tool favorite

    Same here, love Milwaukee and was overjoyed to grab a Milwaukee meter. Pretty disappointed that the resistance is soo spotty, otherwise it's a good meter. I was checking speakers and two in spec, two tested bad and one was fluctuating...grabbed the Fluke and all speakers were right in spec. I was also having issues checking fuses(but that was easy to remedy by switching to Continuity).

  2. That's awesome man. I used to never mind heights but the older I get the less and less I like them. Must just be getting g soft in my old age.

    I'm the same way, now at 30, I think about the things I did in my early 20s at Sports Authority in the rafters and on the H-frames. Like strattling a corner gap, 20+ feet up, unharnessed pulling a stack of 6 canoes to make room. Luckily there was a nice pallet of dumbells to cushion my fall if I fell.

  3. Looks like the power washer is on hold for now. My custom pool cue is ready for pickup :D

    I don't want to thread jack, I'm actually in the market for a pressure washer...but what make pool cue? Pics?!?! I've never done a custom pool cue but I have several medium to high-end pool cues. Kind of got out of the hobby, burnt myself out with weekly tournaments and such.

  4. My Grandfather was really good friends with Pete Rose, Lou Piniella and Hulk Hogan. One of my good friends is the Tampa Bay Lightning emergency goalie, he's practiced with several visiting teams when they have injured goalies for their morning skate. I am friends with the girl that Brett Favre texted his...you know the story. I know a few reporters, one former reporter turned HSN girl and a rising comedian...think the comedian has a show with Joe Rogan this weekend. I'm friends with Craig Ramsay's son, Craig played in the NHL and has an equally successful coaching career. I also know a girl married to Brandon Davis, a racecar driver.

     

    Most importantly, Emilio Estevez follows me on Twitter haha...but also seriously.

  5. After about a week of testing my Milwaukee meter, I decided that I made a bad choice in a backup meter...I should have bought a cheap used Fluke. I find it to be really inaccurate in reading resistance. Everything besides resistance seems to work well but everything is just not up to Fluke standards.

  6. I HATE Klein screwdrivers. It's not that they are poor quality but they are a poor design...don't get me wrong, the rubber handle is great but because of the balance point, they don't lay on the rubber ridges on the grip...so they roll off everything. I really like trilateral designs because they just plop down and rest where you put them. I'm fond of my Witte maxxpro plus but I see a HUGE following for Wera. Wera might be the next addition to my tool box.

  7. The handles look like there deflated..lol

     

    My first comment was that they look like they were left in a car and started to melt. I do have to say, they're as comfortable to grip as a Tom Brady football.

     

    For the price, they're really nice but I prefer my Witte maxxpro plus...but you can also get four of these Tektons for one of those Wittes, a couple more if you buy the Witte with "Matco" on the side.

  8. It is $60 for the new cartridge and another $100-$200 to replace the blade you just destroyed. I have a sawstop pro and after replacing a couple Forrest WoodWorker II blades you become very aware of any and all metal in your wood and you stop cutting lumber that is wet at all. 

     

    Well that would explain why they aren't commonly used. I first heard of them like 6 years ago and I've wondered why everyone hasn't switched to them...this would explain it. I'm not a wood worker so this never crossed my mind.

  9. I got mine in today. The drill is pretty sweet it's really well balanced and super quiet when you use it. My only issue is I got 2ah batteries with my kit when they said 4ah on the spec sheet. I don't know if it was an error there or the drill I was shipped.

     

    Are you going to contact them about it? I'd be FURIOUS. That's not a little mistake, these batteries aren't cheap.
