60v adapter ,no ? Not what I heard.... they won't sell a lot of 10" ,,120v table saws,,,too heavy...might as well be corded...even the 12" mitresaw isn't selling so good...too heavy,,,..the same 12" mitresaws sit on the shelf at Home Depot....all the contractors I know want a light 10"cordless mitresaw..and love the 8.25" tablesaw....if your ripping more then 1.5" stock ,you should be using a corded version...
Ya, I'm hoping to see the 60v 10" miter that's across the pond make it here for much that same reasoning.

I've almost bought the right angle adapter after Amazon and Lowe's dropped the price to $25
$15 @ Ace hardware.

We had a local sign shop whip up some stickers for our water clean up equipment, they did our van, trailer, banner, so they sorta gave us the stickers at cost(I really don't remember how much). Going to be using them again real soon for our office signage.

Gotta love Ace.... $35 total.... That's as much as the right angle by it self.

I won't use my 78" level for a level, but I admit using my older 78" level to tamp dry concrete when setting a fence post.
Anyone else have a confession/concession to make?

I needed 4 u bolt to hold the locks into the 2 Ridgid Boxes I recently bought as they were missing. Ridgid said to contact Knaack for parts. Knaack wanted 11.00 for 1 U bolt and 2 nylon stop nuts. I picked up the wire rope clamps for 1.48 a two pack.
The WD-40 Gel I picked up for table saw, jointer and my Stanley clamps. The clamps got a lot of surface rust on them over the rainy winter we had. I have a lot of wire wheeling to do.
The saw horses were a good deal at 30.00 a piece, not worth making my own.
Love those horses! Good stuff.

I do almost everything construction related, my company is a two person show, my brother-in-law and I operate a damage mitigation service and oftentimes we do the restoration as well, we also take on general contractor work too and are building a custom lake home right now(amongst other a projects). We have a yours, mine, and ours tool thing. My tools make money for me, I use em hard and toss em in my truck til I use em again the next day, sometimes I work 15 days straight, sometimes I'm not working for a week. I rarely clean them but don't intentionally get them dirty either. The mitigation equipment is cleaned and inspected after every use as well as replacing filters etc. No exceptions on them considering they are industrial grade air cleaners, dehumidifiers, blowers and extraction equipment.

pruning blade vs ax blade?
To be honest I've never used an ax, I don't have the convenience of a HD near by, so my blade buys are grab and go at Lowe's or Menards, but comparing a standard demo blade to a pruning is night and day, there's a reason companies make pruners.

I have been thinking of getting the Milwaukee ones what ones you got ?
Right now a couple Bosch ones, I've used other brands with good results too, I don't get em very often as I seem to get em to last quite well. I'm not too picky which brand I get generally my criteria is availability and price.

How good are they I am thinking about getting some I use Milwaukee the axe and they are outstanding blades for cutting
Great for branches and quite good on treated lumber, don't go all aggressive demo mode with em and you can get some good life outta em.

Another interesting battery tech I'm sorta excited about is graphene, Instantly charged, potentially low cost, and able to be made by a modified DVD burner. Can also be used to make low cost solar panels too.....

Last year I shot myself 4 times with a framing nailer, 2 times through a finger, 1 through my wrist, and 1 through my thigh. The ones in my fingers and wrist baffle me how they happened, I'd like to think it was an unavoidable accident but to do it 3 times............. hum...... The one through my thigh was just dumb.... was in a tight area grabbed the gun buy the grip and slid it over my leg while taping off the trigger.... that sucked ass.... damn near passed out, but a half hour later I as back working. Man that was sore for a week.
If you ever get a chance to put a 3 1/2" spike through a body part I'd recommend that you fight the urge to do it, you'll thank me latter.

Man I'm happy to grow the family but the appearance of that lower strut is questionable, lol. Fits nothing else design wise I can think of from Dewalt.
One thing I'll give them props for is not blocking the battery test like they did on the 660. Look forward to the reviews.
The strut looks quite similar albeit longer to DeWalt's sister brand.

DeWalt 20v adhesive guns
in Dewalt
Posted
I'm quite curious how well it works for you, got a shit ton of caulk to run soon and I've been considering Ryobi's(I have no Ryobi tools what so ever but having used the Brad I can talk myself into it kinda easily) but prefer DeWalt.
