Well as a tool reviewer I ought to have a better feel for their range than the average tradie
Unless that average tradie is a tool nerd hoarding info on Bosch's line up from here and IG lol

Yeah, whole lot of drama went down over on IG about this... Kind of with you there on that line of thinking.

I agree, Milwaukee has one of the best warranty programs for sure. They will also warranty tools without a receipt based on the build date. Ridgid has a lifetime warranty, but you have to follow every step to qualify.
Not from personal experience, but doesn't Hilti really have the best warranty? Food for thought.
My experience with Milwaukee is because they have my trade requirements fulfilled more than i ever could have asked for, with specific tools that no one else has, so it's a no brainer to use their platform and grow with their tools, which I really do like. I have, however, wandered into Ryobi and Makita for the same reason i'm with milwaukee, in that they make specific tools no one else does.
Honestly, I've had great success with dozens and dozens of milwaukee tools, and there's no way i would switch brands just because of one different feature or 5% more power than my milwaukee drills or something.
Great brand, great warranty, no complaints.

Got the old tired Polaris running again finally!!! Bosch 12v helping out putting things back together after it helped disassemble it first. Cleaned out the carb, new gas, cleaned out transfer case cover where some mice had built a nest... But it runs!!!

I wanted to install some skylights but they were turning out to be very expensive if bought pre-made and I didn't have guys with enough expertise that would make it on the spot.
Also heard about leaking issues and the general inexperience of workers in India in installing skylights made it even more difficult for me go ahead with installing them.
So I had to find an alternate. The roof is made of metal sheets. I found a manufacturer who was willing to build me transparent polycarbonate sheets with the same profile as those of my metal sheets. That meant I could install them without any chances of leakage. Cost was also very cheap at just $2 per sq ft. So ordered them and installed them today.
This is going to be either a small home gym or a home office. These are two 10 ft sheets running through the length of the roof of this room in the centre.
This is one of the bedrooms -
And this is how it looks from the outside -
As you can see they have the same profile as the metal sheets so there won't be any chance of leakage. The polycarbonate sheets are treated with UV protection and come with a 10 year guarantee.
After the installation of the vaulted false ceiling it will look just like a skylight. Will post pics when that work is finished.
Definitely interesting and different framing in there. That's cool seeing your part of the country. The panels you put in are common enough around here in barns and shops that I would have done the same thing as you to save a lot of money vs a skylight. The red looks sharp too, like Milwaukee red!!

Well that took longer than usual guys, how did you stay on topic for so long? Lol
I have Milwaukee simply for their large selection of tools they have for my trade.
I have used Bosch and like them too, nothing wrong with either brand.

Nothing beats a Nibbler IMO. Quiet, no projectiles, and easy control with the ability to do tight scrolls with ease.
Here's an example:
Exactly.
Metal cutting circ saw is a bad idea, it can potentially chip or throw hot sparks on the metal and the manufacturer could refuse warranty on the metal.
Use a nibbler and rest easy knowing you went the proper route

yeah when i got home i went to look at my only other makita case for my impact,and hammer drill and it had it and those are almost 2 yrs old, but i never knew about it.
Are you sure you didn't just accidentally split the top panel apart? It actually hinges open?

I bought some Integra multitool blades. 16 for $26. $1.66 per blade. Seemed like a decent deal. I also got a cheap $22 drain snake. I think its a no name brand but reviews were good for the price. Figured I'm not a pro plumber so I didn't need a $200+ snake.
Yeah, @Hugh Jass likes them, sound like a solid value!

went to the local Power tools warehouse and they sold these empty Brand new cases 3 for 10 bucks, he gave me 5 for 15.00 and am i the only one that didnt know about the extra compartment that opens on these that holds bits and other miscellaneous items? will probably put some foam inserts in some to hold other tools.. and then ALSO got the deal of a lifetime on these subcompacts! nothing like a pissed off EX-GF that just wants to sell her ex's left over tools i paid 50 for the impact and 45 for the drill , both new and man they are SOMETHING!!! I feel i also helped her in getting rid of things that reminded her of the man that didnt treat her like the women she is so its a WIN WIN
NICE!! I never run across a steal like that

Do you have a drum sander? how do you plan to flatten the cutting board?
I made a practice one and ran it through my planer with sacrificial boards out the front and back ends to prevent sniping, and made it narrow enough to fit through the planer. It worked really well. Then i'll run a ROS on it

I have 2 each of their other boxes and saw these.... i pulled up an air compressor on display (makita since its flat) and sat on it a solid 7 min wondering what i'll use these baskets for. how do you like them?
So awesome, great to have them lock onto my cart and bring loose fittings and hardware into a building or basement
-
I'm very interested. I really like the simplicity of my RIDGID boxes and cart but this just takes it up another notch. Plus the comments about guys abusing their tools like you're mentioning is pretty pathetic, I too believe that translates into their work ethic, the most I've dropped my power tool is if I unexpectedly need my second hand available to hold onto something I'm working on, I'll drop it to the floor, but break the fall with my foot. Just for example.
Honestly, I won't be surprised if they run a promo right out the starting gate when they hit the shelves.... We all know Milwaukee loves their promos lol

That is supposed to be a solid stainless band around the pex pipe.
Apparently, the manufacturer is in a lawsuit because it's happening all over.
If you have this in your house, get it out!!!

Give the breakaway blades a go.
Took advantage of the 15% off 4 items plus free battery deals with the hole hawg and mid torque impact wrench. Plus the bag came with the hole hawg.

Replacement bits for my bit case since i don't need a third case floating around

Finished out my transfer punch collection. Had to work today and snapped a few pictures. Also like $500 in proto and sk stuff that is trickling in because I'm pretending my brain can produce dopamine still.
Shout out to my Dremel engraver for making sure I can't resell my tools.
Creative as usual Hope you're doing well dude

Yes, that's what it's for. You draw a line, rotate the tool (or the piece), and draw another. Where they cross is the center. No need for two tools.
Unless you count the user bbahahhhaha ?
