It’s off this week for their fall sale and krazy day weekend sale
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYup just noticed that......
BTW if anyone wants/needs/or just feels like getting one.... their Tool Shop roofing nailer is $60. I got one about 3 years ago($50 at the time) expecting a throw away nailer for a garage roof job.... I'm still using it, having ran over 500sq or about 20 roofs with it, and its still working fine.
And something I've noticed, the Milwaukee nailer uses the EXACT same nail feeder(part for part).

Yep, and they have had it that price on and off for over a year lol. Next week it'll probably be the brad..... again.... Forgive me if I sound cynical but I go to Menards about 5-15 times a week.

I'd simply ask someone to make an offer, if it's not an offer I'd take, then I'd simply turn it down, if the offer is close then I'd ask for kindly ask for my (minimum) price.

I've always been told to never buy the first generation of a new tool. Wait for the 2nd generation, they'll work out the kinks and they're normally on sale a few months after they are released.
Cordless saws just don't have the grunt if your making cut after cut after cut. They're handy no doubt, but electric saws are more consistent and you don't have to stop and change out/charge batteries.
There was a time when that way of thinking was quite valid, now I'd disagree. Tool makers constantly make revises and updates to current tools without any fanfare. Batteries charge very quickly these days so I never experience downtime because of waiting to charge (also doesn't hurt to have a handful of charged batteries). Also cordless saws have become quite powerful and while I'm not completely cordless with my saws I can still build a deck or garage without plugging in a saw.

Ryobi one+ hedge trimmer, for a budget brand it works just fine. For someone who hates gardening it works just fine. For a 2 Amp battery it lasts just fine. For 18 Volts it cuts just fine.
Not bad, Ryobi, not too bad at all.
Their OPE stuff is not too shabby, have the hybrid blower and trimmer, and the 18v mower. The be honest I haven't used them much because my wife uses them and doesn't give me a chance, which is fine by me!

For 10" ones? That's a killer deal! These were $25 each
Yep, got mine for $15 then too.

Hummmm... Yep I have some multiples..... 4 drills, all cordless, 2 are never really used and only got em because they where dirt cheap, I mainly use my DCD791 and sometimes my 985 for hammer mode. 3 did have 4 impacts I only use my DCF887 and have a nib one as well, my wife sometimes uses a 12v Kobalt I found on clearance. Also have 2 circular saw, one 6 1/2 cordless and a regular corded and both have there place.

Thanks for all the help guys. I have narrowed down the first purchase between the DCK287D2 compact hammer kit from Dewalt and the 2799-22CX compact hammer kit from Milwaukee. I feel that either one will be a solid start for me.
Excellent choices, between those 2 kits DeWalt has the advantages of better (more powerful) tools, BUT the red red kit has a high capacity battery.... Winner: Dewalt.

I'd seriously consider Ryobi, the amount of tools and OPE rival many higher tier brands. Just be mindful of which model you buy, their basic drill is, well, quite basic, check out the brushless model. Look at the 3 speed impact instead of the El cheapo one.
I use DeWalt and Ryobi tools to make money for my family.... I guess I'm a professional and if I'm using Ryobi, then that means it's pro grade.

When you order a new tool online then see it at the local lowes before they have even shipped mine

Not sure flipping off the Lowe's stock is the right call.... Go-to the site you ordered from and flip it off..... Lowe's did you no wrong....... This time lol!

Trigger burn out on your DCD996? Sorry, can't just replace the trigger, you've got to buy the entire electronic assembly for $145 and oh... It so happens that you can buy the tool itself for $140... Less during a sale...
Or you can just 1) get warranty service since even the oldest ones are 1 1/2 old out of a 3 year warranty or 2) over the counter exchange at many retailers.
18 minutes ago, Gnomish Delight said:But what really gets me about Dewalt is their penchant for treating consumers like they're idiots with their marketing. Competition has 18v batteries? WE'VE got 20! (All 18v lithium batteries are 20v max)
Or how about EVERY company with 10.8v tools, oh wait they are ALL called 12v....

Also, make sure to pick up the oscillating tool. Super handy for finishing cuts the circular saw can't.
And EVERYTHING else! The oscillator is my favorite tool, I actually enjoy using it, the DCF887 is my most used tool, I like it alot but using it (almost) feels like work lolololol.
@Satorikn It's an excellent time to buy too, with Labor day deals popping up constantly on a lot of the core 20v stuff.

I'm DeWalt and Ryobi, DeWalt for "real" tools ie drills, impacts, saws and Ryobi for "supplemental" tools ie light, glue and caulk guns, brad nailer, fan, OPE and the oddballs. Between the two any cordless tool I'll ever need is available.
