I love Slowes, trying to tell people that the Black Friday 20v Lithium Dewalt is regualary $149. Lowes is the king of saying that something was $46464.00 and now its $99.00!!!!!
Rob Robillard (Concord Carpenter) just did a review on the Drill/Driver and Impact. Its mistitled "Bistitch," watching it right now. Not gonna post the link to infringe on the TIA guys.
Dewalts first error was the 18v Lithium Ion..................I mean people are confused that batteries come in different voltages, let alone battery style.
http://lumberjocks.com/topics/40740 My store doesn't sell this model, so I can't really add much other than this link in which multiple people try to help a guy with the exact same problem.
Diablo by Frued is a Home Depot exclusive(in terms of Retailers/Big Box stores) Just an FYI the presents of Bosch will be expanding in Home Depot as well. All Bosch Daredevil Paddle Bits will be exclusive to Home Depot(they were available at Menards, but are being pulled from their stores).
The power tool industry is beginning to move away from Big Combo kits. $399 for a Hammer and Impact, so I can only imagine what a 4 or 5 piece combo would be.
Not sound like I am being brainwashed by Conductor, but those blades were probably OEM'd by a company for Milwaukee so they could put one in the packaging.
I have an older Makita 7 1/4" and I use the Diablo framing blade, got em two for one, and I love em. Not like I use it a lot, but it does cut like a hot knife through butter.
I assumed that fit just pumped the money r&d money into Milwaukee. Maybe brushless ridgid but I don't see that coming. Brush less craftsman seams very unneeded, at least till brush less becomes the standard.
The Makita ones the guys just reviewed are of good quality. It was the old Makita ones(like a year or two ago) were abosulute junk. They might aswell of been made from melted butter.
Sorry for the two posts, but I really wanted to get my hands on one of those fastback knifes(like the actual knife) and can't seem to find any information for their release other than in the "Fall". They would be idiots not to release it around hunting season.
I got mine out of my overhead about 2 weeks ago(Not waiting for my vendor to do it) Its $35 bucks. When holding it, there is a decent difference in the weight compared to the Dewalt one we use to sell(which is being clearanced out starting at around $20
