  1. I have several routers (makita and a couple PC), but the one I use the most is the $20 trim router from Harbor Freight. It has done everything I needed it do and you can buy 5 for the price of the next cheapest. I use it for flush cut on 1/4" or paneling and edging pine and plywood. Buying multiple routers is the only way to go in my book, a compact router is worth its weight in gold if you have small jobs or lighter material, but if you want to cut 3/4" on a regular basis you will want a full size.

  2. I have the identical Milwaukee blower and it is great for blowing the dust out of my garage and cleaning of a work piece. I wouldn't recommend it for leaves unless they are bone dry and scattered. 

  3. How often are you transporting your tools? I mainly keep mine in my garage but I wanted them portable to take to a friend's house or my patio, upstairs etc so I made a box that hangs on a french cleat that holds 2 m18 chargers, 2 m12 chargers, 2 impacts, 2 drills, my hackzall, right angle drill and plenty of room for my bits. It's in my profile pic. The side stores in the bottom and it slides in locking my drills/impacts in their place and closes off the side so I can carry it. It works well and I just plug it in where ever it sits or hangs and my chargers are all ready to use plus I have 2 spare spots in the power strip for a radio or tool.

  4. I wouldn't have got the one key hammer drill if it wasn't for my Uncle wanting the impact. I paid the difference of the impact set vs the drill impact and sawzall so for $200 I got the one key hammer drill and sawzall. He kept the batteries and impact. Other than my current stuck chuck issue, the drill is super nice. I don't ever see a need for the one key though. He wanted it so he could control the torque on the impact while working on his car.

  5. I guess I am just content with yelling at bad drivers and flipping the bird occasionally. I have never felt the need to go to this level just to make a point. I will call local police if I see a drunk driver, but that is a different story.

    I agree that texting and driving is dangerous though...

  6. So if the guy was driving his personal vehicle would you have put this much effort into contacting the police or highway patrol? I get that this guy broke the law and I have road rage as well, but what do you really expect to happen here? You taking pictures and video while driving is just as dangerous as texting in my book...

    Both of these kits are $169, the one you get a free battery but I like the other drill better.  For $19 more than your budget you can have a great 12v combo set.

    $29 more than your budget this is an awesome 18v set.

     

    I get that all of these sets are slightly over your budget, but you will be buying a top notch tool with a 5 yr warranty and over the life of the tool that $19 or $29 is well worth it. Buying quality for a few extra bucks now is better than saving $20 and having a lesser tool. Bosch is a great brand, don't get me wrong, I am just a Milwaukee guy.
