BMack37 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 How? I bet you change a lot of cords...seems people don't know that the first thing you do with a corded tool is make sure you keep it out of the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy MSG Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I seem to recall a few years ago, Bosch had a circular saw with a one feature being an easily replaceable cord. All this doesn't touch the conversation I had 3 or 4 years ago at the big spring tool sale at Rocking R hardware. I was talking to the DeWALT rep, he had the brand new ToughSystem boxes I was admiring, ogling and playing with. We got to talking and I mentioned my dislike of the guard on the older DW744 tablesaw. Another person right there chimed in guards are worthless, the first thing he does is throw them away. I was like, "I just like the newer modular guard setup that took no tools to add and take away pieces to optimize it's use." He was, "I still wouldn't use it." a little bit later he tells me about the accident he had ripping a 2 X 4 with a circular saw. He had it supported by his leg, something happened, he cut off his thumb, got part way through his index finger, when the blade grabbed his pants, tore them off and wrapped them up in the blade. he said he only had a small cut on his leg, I honestly believe he doesn't know how close he was to killing himself by cutting his femoral artery. That is the kind of guy I want to take safety advice from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 @Grumpy MSG Milwaukee does the same thing. "Quik-Lok" detachable power cord, now the quik-lok moniker has been appropriated by quick release chucks on their Fuel Hawgs lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
