True, although having used both I definitely vote for dado stack capability. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Rfwjr, thanks for catching that! I'm not sure if it will take a dado stack but if not I would also avoid it. Dado stack is definitely the easiest way to cut many joints! Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Welcome, collegedave! Not knowing the exact Dewalt model you are referring to, I can't say much, but I have really been impressed with the quality and features of the DWE7480 we have been selling in the store where I work Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Obviously, this is a Nazi invention, intended to 'persuade' Dr. Jones into revealing the location of the Ark. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

That's not a problem. That looks more like a solution! Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

I'd suggest taking a look at bits made by Vega. I don't have a link but they're pretty easy to find. The hardware store I work for took my advice and started carrying them. Nothing but compliments. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Ah. Also Craftsman hex keys and a Posi-Lock puller(sweet find at an antique mall!) Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Gearwrench ratchet to go with a kobalt socket set(cheap Lowes brand, wedding gift). Gearwrench pass through 3/8 and 1/4 set. Mostly Gearwrench combination wrenches with the odd Stanley or cheapo thrown in. Gearratchet screwdriver and nut driver set. Full set of Cat's Paw screwdrivers (they are very nice!). Mintcraft mallet, Plumb hammer. Mayhew punches when I can find them. Power tools are Milwaukee or Bosch. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

You might give the triton a look as well. I really like mine. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

And I guess I'll stir the pot a bit, too. If you are are looking for sheer variety of tools, Makita might be a good choice. Their tools are decent. Dewalt seems to be king in my area, but I have a couple of brothers up north who love their Makitas. They do a lot of metal roofing and have very few corded tools, so I assume they know what they are talking about. I also work at a Truss manufacturer /hardware store, so we both use and sell tools. I was the "tool guy" for the hardware store side of things, so I took a look at all the major US brands. Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk

Of course if they're poor tools, I guess we could joke about dropping the E for an in hell tools... sorry, just couldn't resist Sent from my VS890 4G using Tapatalk

The name itself is German, I believe. Ein is "one" Sent from my VS890 4G using Tapatalk

I don't know for sure, but that looks like the wax used to protect blades after sharpening them. Check out the old Econo-Dip vats. Sent from my VS890 4G using Tapatalk
