A couple more Anvil’s and you could have a Gatling Wrench, lol.

If you look around the channel, DeWalt has been going hard on the newer Sub Compact line of Impacts to go with their Stacked batteries. I would say it’s safe to assume full size offerings are coming out summer and fall maybe?

Within this coming decade, I think folks thoughts on Electric OPE will be moot, at least here in the states. California has already begun the process of banning gasoline powered OPE, and other states are drafting up similar proposals. My buddy bought an E-Go two stage snow blower this year and says it has been one of his favorite purchases to date. I myself have been grabbing my battery powered limb saw over my Gas Pole Saw and Corded Chain Saw for basic yard duties. What hurts is the initial cash outlay for electric. And holy cow the battery prices for 40v and up!

Without sounding cheeky. Are you already on multiple battery platforms? Or are you looking for a reason to ditch Bosch in favor of Makita?

Cool tool. Gonna be interesting after 2024 when the Festool patent expires and all the brands can make their own version of the Domino machine for half the price. DeWalt wouldn’t be able to keep it on the shelf.

So much Cosplay is about to go down this Halloween, lol.

Let’s cut to the chase……buy this and all Lug Nuts will live in fear, lol.

I would put Ridgid and Kobalt in the same wheelhouse. Ryobi is it’s own monster at this point, and possibly king of the DIY/Prosumer category on sheer strength of offerings. I bet it’s insulting to them to even say Craftsman is their competition, lol. While the Craftsman brushless tools I chose that were direct DeWalt clones have worked marvelously for me. The brushed Porter Cable and ODM models are trash by comparison. But it’s this wider selection of mediocre tools that keep Kobalt and SKIL from being the better budget selections in Lowes. And IMO, Craftsman wouldn’t be featured as prominently as they are if SBD didn’t have DeWalt as leverage against Lowes. Flex, Kobalt, and SKIL just doesn’t have the consumer base the old black and yellow does for Lowes to tell them to go pound sand. Like I said, it was super easy to build my collection when Craftsman gave you a free tool with a battery purchase. If Kobalt had done the same thing at the time I needed these tools I’d be backing Kobalt. I’ll attach an image of the final spread sheet results Jeff at Den of Tools made for all the major DIY brands. His factors were number of basic tools, number of specialty DIY tools, availability, cost, brushless models, etc. I doubt Craftsman would be as high as they are without all their clones from other brands. Ryobi and DeWalt are pretty much neck and neck. DISCLAIMER: THIS LIST FACTORS AFFORDABILITY. ALL YOU MILWAUKEE FAN BOYS SETTLE DOWN. WE KNOW YOU GUYS ARE THE BESTEST QUALITY. Here’s the link if you guys want to see it for yourselves. Go to his YT channel if you want to see how he came up with the criteria. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZxahpjbIQhS5s3dk63q1KoagUdruBPrSImdVPWAC4c4/edit#gid=0

Then I guess these boots aren’t for you then are they? This might blow your mind, but sometimes folks buy things just for the fun of it.

This pic shows the regular miter stand with a modified base using a second set of miters brackets to attach the table saw, not sure if they sell anything outright.

Hello and welcome. One YouTube channel that can definitely answer all your questions is the Torque Test Channel where they test out both air powered and battery powered impacts of all kinds. Here’s a battle of high torques…… In each case, the Milwaukee outperformed, and if this is gonna be the tool making you money, maybe just go all out at the start and not fiddle around with other brands?

I see now. The Die Grinders use a collet and shaft, and the straight uses wheels and discs. Gotcha. Then the answer is no, nobody seems to have a battery Straight Grinder.

You don’t buy the Halo Boots to work in. They are collector items.

My .02 cents I would like to add to this topic is that not all of a users purchases need to be cordless. While it is currently all the rage to be on a cordless battery platform. I see a lot of negative reviews on sites that say such and such a tool is no good due to short battery life. Well, if they buy the lowest brushed entry model with a 1.5/2.0ah battery and no fast charge, what do they expect? I myself recently flubbed an Angle Grinder purchase in an effort to be a cool dude with a brushless cordless tool. I have plenty of batteries and fast chargers to keep going, but it’s still a pain to stop and switch after a period of time. Not only was a corded Angle Grinder in order, but I could have saved myself a few dollars on the purchase as well. Because if I have enough electricity to power the 4 chargers to keep the 5 battery rotation going. I have enough electricity to run a cord and save some time, lol. So my additional .02 cents would be that if the tool you need has a continuous run time, like an angle grinder or sander, go with a corded model and save yourself some time, money, and wear and tear on your batteries. Batteries do in fact have a limit to the number of cycles they can be recharged.

Not sure if this was some elaborate April Fools joke, but if they are real, I want them. Wolverine has created a work boot inspired by the Halo video game.

I’ll give it a read later. Was just wondering if there was a benefit to lubing the bit?

To be quite honest, I never read the tool manuals, lol. I just watch YouTube videos. It’s the brushless Craftsman clone of the DeWalt.

PC was also my first foray into cordless tools. At the time, it was before the Craftsman purchase, and PC was considered the mid tier brand at Lowes since Kobalt and SKIL weren’t around either.

My OCD would not permit me to be on multiple battery platforms. I need everything to match. While I do own multiple brands of corded tools. My battery operated platform is all Craftsman V20. That being said, if some thief had budget brain and stole all my V20 tools, I would start over again with Makita. It might take longer with the higher price, but that’s the route I’d go.

A Straight Die Grinder with the hood? Or Die Grinder in general? DeWalt definitely has a cordless die grinder.

Is it recommended to use a lube on SDS bits? I just got an SDS not too long ago.

I think a saw like that in the Flex 60v line would work well.

The easy answer would be to return the drill for another one and doing it again.

This is a weird topic for me. While I am on the Craftsman platform. I’m not on it, because it’s my first choice. It was basically the brand that offered me the most bang for my budget dollar since Porter Cable was being down graded and phased out by SBD. And I’m too committed to V20 to make another switch without the wife throwing a fit, since I’m still essentially a hobbyist wood worker. My vote goes to Makita. It’s a brand that can go toe to toe with Milwaukee. It’s a brand not beholden to a parent company making other versions of their tools. It’s a brand with a very strong history. I am also a fan of the Flex and Kobalt lines, but they don’t have the history Makita does……..yet. So once I start to make some money doing wood work. I do plan to switch platforms once again. And it will more than likely be into the XGT 40v line. Unless I get really bougie and go Festool, lol.
