  1. If they're picked up by Home Depot the prices should be competitive. Or at least closer in Canada. If not they will probably be insane. Have to figure out if their rolling bag is worth a go or if I should wait for the bins. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  2. Dewalt has been out with their brushless beast for 3 years now. Milwaukee sort of answered their finishing solution with their own offering to seemingly mixed reviews last year but they've yet to have any kind of answers for a cordless framing nailer. Is it DOA or just really delayed? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  3. So is the shiny silver Freud blades the higher end blades? Just Freud and silver. I don't have a picture. But I'll try to get one later... Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Flexvolt

    When is this coming? HD has a 20V trimmer and blower kit with 2 2ah batteries for $299 CDN. It's tempting but not if it's underpowered and about to be replaced by this new system. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  5. What's the point of a one-key Sawzall??? Anti-theft is nice but different modes? I could see a ramp up mode that would somehow limit slip if that's even possible but aside from the initial bite into something new the trigger is always at 100% unless it binds and takes me for a ride. I don't see how it's beneficial otherwise. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  6. This probably is a dumb question to ask here but maybe someone has a brilliant idea or has come across a similar situation. I'm an electrician and while I've done integration and fancy stuff with Lutron and others this is slightly unique as I don't want it to be complicated but I do want it to work. The Situation... Homeowner had his ATV stolen and is worried someone will jack a boat off his dock next. So he wants something that will disable 50A lift, 30A lift, and 15A plug. If he could also disable the ignition for the boat that would be an awesome bonus. My initial thought is intercepting the mains and using a Lutron Caseta switch to turn on/off the things using a relay. 3 things so 3 switches. Interface would be the wireless interface using a phone or tablet. No pass codes or buttons or whatever on the dock. And since everything would be inside and disabled from there you couldn't bypass anything by taking things apart. You could go all the way and totally automate the lift and everything but I don't think that's necessary or a really practical solution. Sometimes you want it at different levels and the lake can be very high or very low so yeah. Over complicated and not good. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  7. No Toro love? Honda seems very heavy to me. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  8. Basement is the crawlspace. I'll put my P-trap just below the floor and then T above it for AAV and drain. This keep the AAV has high as possible - recommended to be at least 6" above the trap - and keeps the trap out of the way. From there will will tie into the main. I think it's bigger than 4" but maybe not. Certainly bigger than anything I typically deal with in the electrical world. Thanks for the advice Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  9. You may be better off running 3/2 Al. 70A is a weird size and #4 copper isn't a common commodity. With 3/2 Al you can get NMD and strip off the jacket or run 3/2 ACWU. In any case a 1" conduit may be an unpleasant pull as I'm guessing you have 2 90s? A 20' U? 4 is as big as you can go in 1" pipe so if you could do 1.25" it would go smoother.

  10. I'm adding a washer and dryer to my place. I have everything worked out except my P-trap. The new laundry sits over a crawlspace which is how everything is plumbed. Can I put my P-trap in the crawl or is there a maximum length I can go? The shower is down here but it starts lower than the washer will. I'm doing a mechanical air vent. Any tips or tricks? It's all going on the surface. That's why I'd like to have it in the basement. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  11. I picked up the Ridgid system case. Fits my M12 kit with 2 2.0 and 2 4.0 M12 packs, the charger, bits, level, fluke meter Marrettes, an assortment of screws, and other stuff. It would easily fit a M18 kit. Use foam to create custom inserts or to pack it so things fit snuggly. Works great and it's a sealed case so if it's close it stays clean.

  12. My brushed gets used all the time. No it doesn't have the balls that my Super Sawzall has but all I need is it and a 4.0 (or whatever) and I'm good to go. I've thought about a Fuel but the lil guy has never let me down and can get in places others can't. The handle ergonomics also make it great for cutting PVC or ACWU when doing undergrounds or dealing with service stuff. The M18 D-handle Fuel is a monster but it's crap for everything but demo or hacking out large parts. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  13. With a 9Ah pack this monster is going to be all kinds of expensive. It will be awesome but wow. Be even awesomer if it was a hybrid as Milwaukee doesn't have anything aside from the big bad 12. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  14. I was asking about the HF specs. 4.2A... Wow. Most of that must be heat. I'll have to see what my Red and Blue drills are. I think they're closer to 10A. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  15. What's the specs of that drill? Sure doesn't have the power of a Milwaukee boom drill (big bad D-handle) or a Makita 1/2" beast. I'm pretty sure my lil M12 Fuel non-hammer model could smack that down. Maybe a non-Fuel too for that matter. I've never worried about drilling a little hole like that before. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  16. I have M12 and M18 lines. For the 12s I have fuel drill/driver, impact, and a non-Fuel hackzall. I also have the M12 lantern. For M18 I have the Gen 1 Fuel combo, and 6.5" circ saw. From work I have a Dewalt framing nailer. At home collecting dust I have a non-Fuel M12 kit. Im thinking about getting Dewalt for home because of the framing nailer but also because of the outdoor tools. I have a crap mower, a crap weedwacker (that might be blown up), and an ancient corded Bosch hedge clipper that looks okay but I've only moved it around the shed. The nice thing about Dewalt is the outdoor lines. At the same time I'm not sure how the 20V compares to the 40V. I almost think I'd want to go 40V for outdoor. I really like my Fuel stuff. The only problem I've had is shearing the screw that holds the chuck on. **Pro tip... If your drilling something and the bit binds and gets stuck if you just throw it in reverse you'll likely shear that screw as it's not rated to take much torque. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  17. Was it EMT from the panel? If so then it was grounded. Seal tight in EMT tho... That sounds special. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  18. noops

    Would you pay

    The Dewalt framer is usually $500 here bare with the kit setting you back something like $629. Both prices are insane. $200 for a bare tool is painful but $300 is rather nuts. I love the Dewalt. It's so handy compared to anything else. I'm not sure it's worth $500 tho. We got it on a sale $429 for the kit with another tool. That was an okay deal. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  19. I wish felo had a *Canadian* set. I can't see why I need 4 stupid flatblades. I hate them. I can't believe that they were ever used for more than plate screws. I also hate how often they show up in panels. Always slightly stripped or damaged. Allen key might be on the same level too. It might be better in the States but here it's a 50/50 chance of metric/imperial. Very frustrating. Just pick something. My current favorite is the diamond-wing hybrid. Seems to be far less susceptible to stripping out. Some days it definitely feels like someone didn't use the right steel tho. Just looking at it and it turns to goo or the head just sheers off.

  20. So basically I picked up a Dewalt tough case kit on clearance for cheap figuring I could sell the kit, and keep the case for free. I've been offered a C10FSH as trade for a Dewalt 3spd premium brushed, brushed impact, flashlight, charger, 4Ah and 2Ah batteries. I've been looking around for a miter saw. I want something decent that will cut true as I plan on building more stuff for my yard and for the house too. Is that a decent saw? Should I hold out for more? He says it's only been used lightly for 1 project while his was getting fixed. I'm not against the trade but I don't want a crap saw either. So what say you? I'm typically team red tho I do have a couple yellow things and sometimes the Germans have a good idea tho more corded doodads. So what say you? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  21. Okay I lied... You can get a #2 square from Home Depot for $13 and assortment of other goodies for a range of prices. Lowe's online has like 5 things but they're all stupid expensive. Is the Ergonic as good as it looks? How do the tips stand up? Is Wera better in that regard? Wera is available locally. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  22. So I've been looking with open eyes and I've come across the Felo Ergonic series. They look nice, I really think those handles would be rather awesome however Canada seems to get shafted. I need Robertson/square drive. Philips too because of Americans and such but I really need Robby stuff. Does anyone have experience with the Ergonic line? I've never seen them in store so I think I'm limited to Amazon.ca for ordering them. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  23. Why'd you go with that saw? HD has them with the stand for $500. It's rather tempting. I really like the Bosch glide but it's a little more. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
  24. Okay... Hitachi down under has some nice kit. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
  25. The same thing happens with cars. I've seen vehicles like VW and Audi get bad reviews because of features like automatic windows. The user couldn't get the window to the exact place like their could with the old crank that their old POS had. Couldn't understand that just mashing the button makes it go all the way. These types of reviews really need to be filed under something like *didn't understand the purpose or principles of the product* or maybe something like a BoR site. It's the review answer to BoC. If you didn't catch those acronyms they'd be Best of Reviews and Best of Craigslist respectively. I wonder how pissed the guy would be if he got a 6.5" saw and then tried to cut something like a 6x6 or 8x8. That would probably be worth getting on tape. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
