  1. Announcer says, "if you buy now we will even thrown in a sawstop table saw absolutely free." "Table saw is not a genuine SawStop Table saw. Saw is a cheap knockoff that is fake but includes SawStop branding. We recommend that the saw not be used."
  2. Please don't be SawStop haha
  3. why not buy many and ebay the extras that way it'll be like they payed you take take the drill off their hands.
  4. oh nice. they the 12v Bosch you were interested in?
  5. well technically you can still say Bosch is part of red team because the logo and switches are red.... maybe not Milwaukee red but still red.
  6. festool just came out with a saw that is sorta a circular saw and track saw hybrid. Imagine the flexvolt circular saw but with a dust port, track base, and is corded.
  7. @JakeDewalt I did more testing. 3 of my flexvolt batteries I keep in my ds300 with my 60v recip and 20v multitool. I bought my recip for demo and bush trimming use. Out of any tools I use they probably get the most dust, debris, grime, etc. on them. my other 2 batteries stay with my miter saw. They are noticeably cleaner. Its not the sliding off the recip thats difficult its the pressing the battery release button that is more difficult. Without a tool you can notice the 2 for the miter saw press smoother than the 3 for my recip. None are hard to press without a tool. The 3 batteries are easier to take out of my miter saw than the recip but are ever so slightly more difficult than the miter saw batteries. The miter saw batteries are ever so slightly easier to take out of the recip than the recip batteries. I try the recip batteries in my drill and the button presses fine. I think it is a combination of both the recip and the 3 recip batteries. Maybe there is dust or something under the buttons. I cleaned the best I could with my shirt. Still not as easy to push the button as on other tools. Should I lubricate the release buttons? I'm not sure I have gun oil but I have sword oil. Would that work?
  8. Announcer says, "Do you need a fake workbench specifically for putting stuff on top? Well do we have to product for you..." 5 minutes later of explanation... "and it can be yours for only 4 payments of $19.99. Call 1-800-fakeworkbench to order your very own Fake Workbench today." announcer begins speaking in super fast voice,"We reccomend you do not use this as an actual work bench. We are not liable for any injury cause by improper use of this workbench. fake vise not included."
  9. I'm sure every boss has their own rules. We don't get a lunch break but in return we get off work at 4:00 instead of 4:30 or 5:00 I think my bosses point for talking to us about hours we record is to make sure he doesn't charge the customer for work we didn't do.
  10. Anyone find it is harder to push down the release on a flexvolt battery when connected to a 60v tool than when it is connected to a 20v tool? Maybe it just is the reciprocating saw or maybe the batteries have dust or something on them. The saw had a bit of use doing demo in both wood and metal. I don't notice much issue when I take off a flex from my drill but have noticed more issue when taking off a flex from my reciprocating saw. I don't remember having this issue with my 790 saw. I may just have to do some more testing. At the end of the work day I wipe off tools I have used. Hopefully it makes em last longer.
  11. maybe the 1x could be temporary just so you can get the table saw cleaned off then french cleats as a permanent solution? or move stuff from table saw to floor real quick to make the cuts for the cleats?
  12. dual flexvolt fast charger 120v demo hammer More lighting options that accept flexvolt flexvolt tough system boxes. whether they be a 120v or 60v vac or a 120v or 60v compressor or battery charger. Maybe they are a ds400 in size or even whatever size a ds500 would be. Depending on space a tray might be able to fit above the charger. The compresor and vac wouldn't have space because of the air tanks and container where the vac puts the material. A tough system radio compatible with flexvolt batteries combined with a tough box could be handy. Maybe the lid is the radio and the storage portion could be somewhere between a ds130 and ds300 in size. Battery could connect from under the lid

    Tool box

    I dont see the pictures @KnarlyCarl @Bmill25 the Ridgid boxes are a great alternative to the tough boxes. I have had experience with both systems. In general I prefer the tough system because it has more box options than the Ridgid system and the wall mount is a nice addition. I own a ds130 and a ds300. Both boxes work well for what I use them for. The compartments in the lid of the ds130 are a nice addition. I am interested in getting a ds400.I prefer the side latches for locking boxes together on the Ridgid boxes because they are metal latches. The latches to keep the box lid closed seem a bit stronger on the tough boxes than the Ridgid boxes. Hard to go wrong with either system.
  14. I was wondering what is the proper way to record your time book/hours worked? The boss was talking to a new guy about it. He was unhappy at how he was recording his time. I think he should have included everyone in on it. I typically wrote 8:00 for start time and for end time I put when I left the jobsite. Apparently I have been recording hours worked wrong. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to include the end of the day cleanup. I'm guessing he meant cleaning up personal tools and whatnot. My boss also mentioned he doesn't like guys riding in a vehicle together. 5 minutes here and there really adds up in terms of labor charged to the customer. Do you start the time: when the crew gets together at the office/shop to see what the boss has each person do that day. when you leave for the jobsite. when you arrive at the jobsite. after you arrive at job site and setup all the tools. At the end of the day do you record the time when: you arrive back at the office/shop. you left the jobsite. you stop working and start cleaning up. Say you worked until 3:52 would that be recorded as 4:00 or 3:45?
  15. When Makita stops selling 50 zillion impact drivers When DeWALT makes up its mind on what battery platform to use. When Festool sells something for less than an arm and a leg.
  16. m18 sub compact? Could it be a viable m12 replacement?
  17. buy stuff on sale sell for regular price earn profit to increase tool buying budget.
  18. I don't think it's a matter of software updates to fix tracking but more like hardware updates.
  19. Id say the new king is Festool... if people can afford it.
  20. Unless I am misunderstanding DeWALT already has this. Buy a stand and place miter saw onto stand. I suppose I should think of something that isn't expected for wave 3.
  21. Well cleaned some windows yesterday and the day before. The glass had stain and finish on it. I would've expected our guys to do a better job at stain and finish. I wonder if my boss was mad or anything.
  22. Are you using the truckbed for anything? Would it make more sense to have your welder stored in the bed? Is it too big to fit in the back seat? I like @noodeel's idea of using modular storage. I have a ds130 and a ds300 tough system and they work great. Might be an option to instal a tough system rack. Maybe have the rack slide out? I am not sure if a tough box can fit sideways.
  23. I have a solution to your problem. buy more tools.
  24. Is that a new vac? Looks different than the one with the dial. does this work with tough system?
