  5. General Tool Trivia

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    Most interesting way to describe a tool in here I think I've ever read lol

    Okay.
     
    I look like plastic but I'm not; I'm made from wood pulp.  
    You can see through me where I'm not red or blue.
    Part of me is metal.
    I haven't gone to China yet.
    What am I?

  6. Long time no see

    @jronman There will be two circ saws released to answer your question. The top tier brand new Fuel and the more budget friendly non fuel brushless.

     

    It's been a long time; I would be terribly selfish to not show up here now that I've been able to experience this great journey to Milwaukee NPS from the bug Dan and Eric gave me and when I first started watching their shenanigans!

    Thanks one and all for the great conversations we have had, I credit TIA for the amazing experiences I've had since I was last here (good grief, how long has it been anyways!!!??)

     

    This is just the beginning though.

    I was privileged to intro the video that just went up tonight and it prompted me to check in here and say hi!

     

    Still so hard to believe thanks Dan and Eric!!! (Please excuse the shameless plug lol)

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm always on the lookout for others in the trades to showcase their work, their process, methods, tips and tricks etc. I have had several submit a short video to Google drive, I play it on the channel and everyone loves the feedback they get.

    It’s just odd. The potential is there, the design is decent. They are just flimsy, and can’t even hold their shape. Full of tools, it will be worse. The zipper area folds in on itself and you have to “pop” it back out when you want to zip open or closed. The material is very soft and the bags just don’t hold their shape. $200 CND for the new large bag. I paid $60 more for my Veto. It’s Heavier material , maintains its shape no matter what, beefier zippers, hardcore metal d rings, thicker bottom, and better straps. The straps on the Milwaukee are fine for quick trips, but they are thin and offer little padding. If the bag was $129-149 CND, it would be worth it.

    I agree with all you have noticed. Quite disappointed in the totes. The 20" bag/tote is just like my Veto OT XL but much cheaper build. The center divider isn't attached to the bottom so it flops around, and the feet on the bottom are off center so when the heavier tools on the one side outweighs the tools on the other, it tips to that side. It's one benefit is that it attaches to the packout with your other tools. That's the only good thing about it. Oh and waterproof bottom. Quite disappointed in the totes.

    However, if they weren't so pricey, they might be a great option for someone who doesn't haul a bag around a lot and doesn't have to worry about the tools staying in place.

    How is the magnet on the back? I heard early reports that it wasn't as strong as the magnet on the bottom. The one on the back is the main reason I'm interested in it.

     

    Magnet on the side clip is pretty poor, it will hold, but slides down on surfaces quite easily.

    The one on the top is quite strong, even holding it horizontally off a surface is no problem, it's definitely the strong one!

    I think the clip itself should have protruded from the body of the light so that it can clip to metal lips or whatever without getting tipped back if that makes sense, it only works good to clip to your pocket

    Was tricky to find the zoomlock press tool but I found it which means your correct and your turn
     
    for Makita you could also say Greenlee. I saw their cable cutters and crimpers use Makita batteries.
    Of course I'm correct lol. It's a specialty tool but I've used it so I should know haha.. also the Zoomlock tool is made by Klauke in Germany, which is owned by Greenlee!
