  1. From what I know about those and when I lived in oklahoma is that, the city (Edmond) that I lived in had very dirty power as in their power fluctuated consistently if you plugged them directly into the wall there isn't a point where the electricity is filtered and it fluctuations will go directly into whatever is plugged in to the outlet. Now if you're using a surge protector a proper one that works and isnt 5 years old then you've just got bad luck.
  2. The chargers can interchange when charging batteries, IE Rigid can charge in a AEG charger and vice versa. Its just that AEG Australia has australian voltages, and Rigid has american voltages they arent 110v-240v they're built to the market respectively, so if you want to use a rigid charger in australia you have to use a transformer to make their outlets into american voltages. Thats what I did when I went there.

    Home Depot

    Thats how they get you, its the MSRP+ their highest price. that saw is around 700$ usually.
  4. thats like asking someone if you they can borrow your car without insurance, except they're more likely to hurt themselves with your tool than a car. If they're asking you to borrow your 20k tool or whatever tool they need for their renovation or whatever project they maybe working on they're just trying to save a buck or using you, its a very precise way of thinking but I don't "Lend any of my stuff out because someone can hurt themselves with whatever it is you lent them and guess what if you chose the wrong person to lend to, you could end up paying medical bills. I let big corporations with liability protection lend tools out ever since ive been burned. Now if someone needs a tool, I'll just go do whatever it is they want done unless they want to borrow 5ton to change their brakes or tires then fuck that, I don't have one.

    Stuff

    Your whole paypal has to be linked to one of your bank accounts, address everything, you have to be fully verified through paypal before you can do a transfer to your bank.
  6. Make sure to wear some ear plugs, that thing is loud as fuck. You'll be happy you went with that one, lots of people find it annoying that there isnt a static setting wheel but I find its easier to cut around drywall manually instead on one setting. Its also easier to turn off and on

    The new metabo Bs18LTX BL I has pretty much the best of makita/dewalt/hilti/milwaukee its got enough power to do everything you need, runs cool and has fine tune settings without BT. Only thing bad about it is its eye catching and people I work with have sticky fingers so I stopped using it on jobs, which pretty much makes it worthless now as It sits in my garage.

    I'm surprised a company hasn't made a transparent tool yet.

    heh, thats exactly what I did.
  10. Rigid uses a whole heap of metal in their parts and gearing as they advertise All metal gears and housing. Dewalt uses powdered metal gears and nylon housing same with milwaukee. Also the 5ah batteries are 20700, Milwaukee and dewalt 18/20v systems still only use 18650, except for maybe dewalt's 6ah They look big enough for 20700.
  11. its slightly smaller than the bs 18 quick, the quick has hammer function and has more power and it has a fine tuned trigger function, you can also change out the chuck, compared to the price of the makita kit the metabo has a premium price. The Drill alone is close to 200$ and and is not brushless, The SB 18 LT BL Q isn't available in america yet so you have to get it from europe and that commands a high price, close to 300$ w/ shipping. The SB 18 LT BL is slightly bigger but has more power as well and is brushless and as of now there is no sub/compact brushless version of an impact driver available (IIRC). All in all the makita is a better choice as its cheaper than its metabo counterpart, though I don't see the need for a sub compact 18v kit where there are 12v or 10.8v kits that can do the job these can.
  12. still have a br550 thats beat up to hell stihl works.
  13. Most home depots have the echo 56v for 99$ you may as well pay 99$ for that one, though its not as good as I hoped being echo and all
  14. Some people here have spent close to 20k alone on their tools, some are professionals some just like collecting. Accessories, storage, extras aren't included in that price, with a rotary hammer you need dust collection whether it be a hose and water with a n95 mask or a full breather and a hepa vac. You just need to ask yourself how much cash do you have to fill a very deep hole.
  15. They're pretty similiar, I go there every year, tbh they have everything we have except theirs cost 2x or 3x more. Just different model numbers.
  16. sometimes they get lazy and dont change the prices, just go scan it.
  17. been alright, don't have much time to myself lately had to get some extra crash so i hopped on board with a friend refinishing/installing/replacing wood/nonwood floors and tile
  18. Because they can sell that tool with a charger and a battery for 135$
  19. They keep trying to make innovative products when the old halogen style light works wonders already, All you need to do is light up the wall you're working on or if you want the whole room lit, just point the light towards the ceiling and the light will spread throughout the room. I have a Husky led stand worklight and a metabo cordless worklight. 3500 Lumens is enough to light up whatever im doing in the garage.

    Very good point

    on the side note, I use my drill with the appropriate caliber attachment to clean my barrels. I also lubricate my drill chucks with gun oil. Because you know, I have no idea.
  21. its roughly 1300$ The best part of that thing is that you can turn the body.
  22. We use the kevlar nitrile rubber ones at work when we stock sheet metal, thems are real nice.
  23. if it was cheap and it works, I don't see the problem, or is there a problem? You have 3 choices really. Ebay return Keep the item and eat the costs and cross your fingurrs Warranty
