You can leave them in the back of a pick up truck and not worry about the rain, plus you can stand on them. I definitely like my Ridgid stacks very much, since i put all my cordless items in them. My hand tools don't exactly add up to needing that large of a storage case like this new Milwaukees. I use a Milwaukee 13" box for my daily service box when I go into houses, anything bigger would be a complete nuisance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9.0 Starter Kit is $249 same as the kit with the 7-1/4" saw. You're getting the saw for free so if they do eventually release a left blade 7-1/4" you're not out any money because the saw was free and then you can buy the bare tool left blade saw. I pulled the trigger on this today. Went to the store, and they said they don't have any of them in and probably wont again. They almost Sold Out on day one, and the sale ends at the end of the month. So I went online and order it. Should be here in a week. Thanks for talking me into it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 1/12/2017 at 10:28 PM, jtkendall said: I don't think they'll do that, if they come out with a new 7-1/4" saw it'll just be an upgraded version of the existing one similar to the Sawzall transition from brushed to fuel to one-key. The overall design didn't change in any drastic way and changing the blade to the other side would be considered drastic and require them to create some completely new components instead of just upgrading internals.

I actually was contacted by big red to participate in a survey for their LDMs a few months ago. I didn't know they were quite this close to shipping though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 They're muscling into crowded markets lately it seems. Must be decent margins in lasers. Or maybe they've added a bottle opener or a wire stripper to them to disruptively innovate the segment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doneright Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 12 hours ago, KnarlyCarl said: New laser distance meters coming .. I wonder if this will pair with an app that does layout. I've seen flooring estimators that use a Bosch unit that connects via Bluetooth to an ipad and the app quickly makes (with a little help) a diagram of the interior of the house. I could see where this would be useful to me in estimating amount of baseboard, crown molding or for a kitchen layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 As I was dragging out the old air hose today to get that last spot my fuel grinder couldn't, I was thinking I wish milwaukee would make a cordless die grinder. While I've considered a bosch cordless die grinder my tools and batteries are limited in that line up and they aren't my everyday tools. I'm going to be broke come February between this and the new mid torque impact wrench. Hopefully it's available in a bare tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knowledge in that area is limited so I couldn't tell you who does or doesn't make a cordless die grinder, and sterco confirmed that no one has it in brushless. I kinda think of it as a large rotary tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yea I only have milwaukee, dewalt, and bosch cordless so until now bosch was my only option. I hade debated a m12 rotary tool too but for what I need it for I just wasn't sure how it would perform. They aren't a tool I would use everyday but sometimes I have to grind a weld that a regular grinder just can't reach. Usually a square corner that a 4" round disc can't get in.
