  2. Pallet of tools

    in Tool Deals

    Posted

    Hey guys, I came across this add while surfing. They claim you can buy a pallet of tools, or individual tools at deep discounts! Who in the Dallas, TX area has any info on this and are they legit? https://www.facebook.com/discounttruckloads/posts/739569299506624I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks crew. attachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpegattachicon.gifimage.jpeg

    We have places like that here. Here they are returns and you don't know if they work or not. Or there mite be somthing real small wrong with them. Its a gamble if you get anything good or not. I would say it's the same thing.

    porter cable has steered away from a higher end market, their tools now are in the same playing field as Black and Decker it seems 30 years ago PC was the bomb......

    Yea they have. They were the top of the line stuff in my dad's day. I think he still has something from porta cable that's still running. A drill I think. Or sawzall

  6. What tools did you buy today?

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    I was looking for a tool bag with a large storage compartment in the center to store all the power tools I need. This bag is marketed as a bag to carry your cordless tools so it caught my eye at Lowe's. It even has 2 battery pockets to fit your batteries on the outside. It looks pretty durable. The main zipper in the center seems sturdy. It sales for $50 at Lowe's.

    Here's what I was able to fit in the main compartment:

    - DeWalt 20V Hammer Drill

    - DeWalt 20V Impact Driver

    - DeWalt 20V Reciprocating Saw

    - DeWalt 20V Multi-Tool

    - Dewalt 20V Worklight

    - 10" file

    - Parts bag with some hole saws and unibits

    I was able to zip it closed. The bag still has plenty of compartments on the outside. I put my drill index and bit set on the outside. There's also a zippered compartment on each side. I put some wrenches on one side and my multimeter on the other side. I have work cart that set this bag on.

    The only experience I have with the backpack style is the Veto Tech Pac. I used it for about 2 weeks. It's durable very well made. Plenty of storage and organization for hand tools. It can get to be pretty heavy. I would mostly carry it from the handle at the top. Most of the hand tools I need I carry on my tool belt. I just mainly need a bag for my power tools, batteries, etc. That was my experience. Most companies have a version of the backpack style tool bag now.

    I was looking into the Veto Open Tote bags but I figured I wanted some protection from the rain. I'm hoping this tool bag last me for a while. Hope this helps. I myself went through different tool bags and setups.

    AWP HP - Lithium Cordless Tool Bag

    I'm building houses so I'm wearing a belt all the time. So I just want something to put a bunch of tools in power and hand tools in one bag. Like pry bars cat paws chisels bits and so on. So I don't have to run back an forth to the truck. Just have it all in a corner or something. I liked the comment you made about mostly carrying the bag by the handle. It would be better to have a bag with a Handel instead of having to throw a backpack up and on the shoulder. Thanks for sharing your thoughts man.

  7. What are your favorite phillips power bits?

    in Accessories

    Posted

    Those are the Vermont American bits right? They were super hardened which I think was the problem with those, they have a deckster bit which I just bought...they also moved production of a lot of their stuff to China and the quality went down. I'm expecting some Deckster bits that are USA made in a few days. I have a few "ribbed" bits, none seem to have any issue with the ribbed design. My first was the Bosch, which is a nice bit...but the metal is soft so it wears quickly.

    Here's some of the anti-cam out bits(old pic):

    That sounds right...

    Zachary, I've only heard of them in Europe. I looked a little more into it on a general search and it appears that they have a small following similar to the B&D or Skil set but truthfully, I think B&D has the corner share on their products and everybody loves the, whereas these guys don't seem to have the love.

    I'll check them out.

  13. Can you drill with a DCF620?

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    The drill bit that I'm using is the one that comes with the Kreg jig. I know that you can buy replacement bits, but this one is brand new so I wouldn't have thought that it would be dull already from drilling about 100 holes into pine. The drill I'm using is a M18 2604 so it only spins at 1750 rpm I believe.

    Now as far as backing, I don't think that would do any good as the tear out is in the face - the hole doesn't actually go through the board. Here's a quick pic that shows what I'm referring to.

    If others have drilled with this class dill without problems, I might try buying another bit before I contemplate a new drill. In any event, I'm pretty sure I'm not quite ready to make the plunge into the Festool pool.

    Also that plywood you are using is easy to have tear out any way. So don't worry your self on it.

    If you havnt already,try going slower into the wood letting the bit cut. Cause you are going in at a steep angle and your bits are sharpened at a 118 degree or half of that on each side of the bit. Also a scrap piece of 1/8th or thinner plywood or t1-11 if you had some scrap already could help. But then you need to take your angle of it going through the scrap into consideration. And the extra depth too. But is no problem after you figure it out after the first time or two. And even make a lip on it to make a patern.

  17. History of melted wax on saw blades

    in Accessories

    Posted

    Beeswax is VERY sticky since it never totally hardens. I'm not sure it would be a good choice as a blade lubricant. Regular candle wax (paraffin) or even car wax might be better choices.

    It gets slick from the heat of friction. I always use bee's wax when I'm running Finnish sscrews into a hard wood like oak. In cabinets and skirt boards risers and treads. Bars of soap is another good option. I like dove or Irish spring. Lol. And they make a huge difference. From breaking screws to not braking any. With predrilling.

    I outgrew my old DeWalt bag. I needed more room with and the ability to zip close. Just in time for the rain showers here in SoCal.

    I've been looking for something similar for the past couple months. I want something for hand tools my new oscillating tool and hopefully the impact and drill. And I really need something for all the loose screws and bits fastners. Stuff like that. But I don't want to have to and spend a 100 dollar's. Let me know how that does for you. Which one is that? I also was thinking about getting the backpack instead?
