regopit Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Has anybody had a chance to get their hands on any of these? From what I have read they are comparing them to the Ridgid line. Reminds me of another yellow brand. Coming to a Lowes near you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Stanley Black and decker has plenty of brands, DeWalt Portercable, now this, black and decker, stanley. I wonder why they keep adding lines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeth Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I agree they should focus on making better tools insted of more tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I think the Bostich tools are mechanically identical to the PC line. Probably add lines to establish or circumvent exclusivity deals, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not only that, but it pulls in that extra fraction of market share for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 So many Stanley b&d brands and yet the very similar looking battery packs aren't cross compatible, what a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORDDiESEL Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Saw this in Wally world today. It actually looks pretty good. For 90 bucks, you get the orbital option and a 3 year warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe M Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Has anyone seen the power tools anywhere other than Walmart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just took a gander at Walmart today and yes it has the bostitch tools. Nice addition because it never stocked even the Stanley fat max power tools before. Also has some Hitachi power tools. The older pod style battery pack cordless tools. Nicad and lithium versions.

NicholasShetley Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I noticed that they had hitachi tools too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Funny, my Walmart never carried Hitachi but did have the FatMax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 But you can't get an electric body saw at Walmart either. What the hell is a body saw in the first place?http://www.harborfreight.com/electric-body-saw-65766.htmlLooks like a nice saw except I think even 90 bucks is too much for the Walmart shopper though.

NicholasShetley Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 A body saw is used to cut a body on an automobile. Basically a small sawzall/ jigsaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I used the Bostitch Rec the other day and for $90, its really nice. It does have an adjustable shoe and the orbital action which works great. The drill and Impact, I am not a huge fan of. They will do what they are intended to do. The grip is nice and I agree, about PC. Not sure if they are coming off the same line because you can see a lot of the same things between the two. No fuel status for the batteries, plus as of now, these are the only two cordless tools in the line. Impact is pretty slow or at least it seems slow. I am not sure if I would compare them to Ridgid, I think more Kobalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 That's the one thing that kind of annoys me with the Fuel sawzall it's a premium recip it should have an orbital function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Agree 100%. But I guess they are saving that so they can introduce another model down the road or at least that's what i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 One of my complaints with my pre-fuel sawzall is that the receiver and the entire mechanism really, is enclosed within the tool making lubrication extremely difficult without making a big mess.

ChrisK Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 You know Conductor, I have had my Milwaukee M18 Sawzall and that is honestly the only Milwaukee tool I own that I don't like. I never should've bought it. No adjustable shoe, sealed like you said and it sucks juice so quick the battery kibbies out in just a few short minutes. The batteries are fine so it has to be the tool. I had an adjustable Ridgid Recip that had orbital and everything but I HAD to change. Chuckle head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
