    you guys all have been great   thank you for all the advice   

    Get m18 with slim battery packs the size difference is unnoticeable with the drill and impact, get a couple XC packs for high draw tools like saws. You'll be glad you started off with the more powerful battery line.

    I'd say the "BAD" on the charger doesn't look very promising but if you know what you're doing with rebuilding you might have something.

    I have a pile if chargers, I'll still test it and/or take it apart, its likely the fuse is popped. 

  4. I'm hoping the 5 and 4 are good, if not probably under warranty, the rest I'll voltage test and see if I can "revolt" them and worst case I can rebuild at least 4 of the 3s.

    LOL interesting, i'm going to guess they are all dead as far as they know?

     

    But I'm also three shakes of a stick away from redneckville so the population is a teaspoon compared to a big city

    Big city ha!... I'm in SW Michigan... I'm in the 2nd largest city around with a pop of 45k.

  5. "Mostly" quit drinking adult beverages but the few times a year I do, I enjoy Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

    I hadn't been to a Doctor in about 15-20 years so my wife sent me a few weeks ago.... I went from perfectly healthy to pre-diabetic and high cholesterol.... so now I can't eat or drink anything that tastes good... My soda of choice is Diet Code Red Mountain Dew, it at least seems to have flavor I can kinda enjoy

    and I also kinda like Sugar Free Rockstar

    I look forward to more questionable (or misleading) stats from Red this year. I also expect they will try to shoot for the moon. They won't like that they got out-innovated last year.

    HAHA, can't wait to see all the new LED lights they come out with!!!!!!  they should play off Ryobi's theme... "One battery, 100+ lights, oh and we have some tools too." I need to submit that to their marketing team!!

  7. This is what I'm currently swinging 

    Stanley Tools - 22 oz FATMAX AntiVibe Rip Claw Framing Hammer - 51-167

    22oz framer, not the best I've ever had or used but the way I tend to lose em I don't see a need to spend more than $20-25 for a hammer, and if I were forced to drive nails with a hammer all day I wouldn't be in this line of work.

    Milwaukee and Dewalt both have shows in June seemingly every year. Milwaukee's is called "new product symposium" (NPS), Dewalt shows I honestly haven't paid much attention to. I know Milwaukee has had a big show for at least the past 5 years. I only started really paying attention to yellow last year with "world's first" and their marketing campaign and FlexVolt blowout. Before that I just made fun of the guys on site using Dewalt because there never seemed to be any cool stuff coming out while Milwaukee had tons of great stuff. Now we know what they were up to lol. 

    Yep both companies have big ole shindigs ever June. While watching the coverage via social media last year I laughed my ass off, During NPS DeWalt was silent, quietly letting Milwaukee have their day and during DeWalt's event Milwaukee was literally throwing a temper tantrum.... Big red: "Look at me guys" "so what they have a dual voltage battery,whe have a 9.0". Milwaukee even launched a website within minutes of the FlexVolt announcement comparing the non existing 9.0 to the FV 2/6.0.

     

    But back on point both companies drop new tools quite often with out a bunch of fanfare.  When new tools drop we all find out pretty quickly with TIA (and crew), ToolGuyd, Toolnut, and others rapidly getting the news out.
