MikeyB Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I realized I had a problem when I was skipping class just to look at tools. They weren't even good tools, I would use any tools I could get my hands on. Craftsman's, husky's and then it got to the point where this happened. [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] I had to realize that I had a problem and every tool I bought took away a little piece of me before I could start the long road to recovery. Shortly after realizing that I said "f%#$ it those protos are shiny". I dont know why I bother coming to these meetings anymore. Im constantly confronted with pushers triggering me with phrases like one is never enough.[emoji6]Holy Crap, that must have been some haul from HF, please post some pics of what you picked up.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Well when all you tool-a-holics own up to your hoarding you can send them tools my way and probably a couple other guys that would be happy to help your addiction issue and take them off your hands lol.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Any roofers out there? Curious to what I should use on a metal roof not to slip I used to use a pair of vans board shoes but old and blew them out. Anyone try the ones at lowes awp roofing shoesSent from my iPhone using TapatalkJust a pair of tennis shoes. Is all I use. Or if it's steep a ladder with a ladder horn or some call them a stabilizer. To hook over the ridge. Or tie your self off to a tree or truck hitch on the other side. Be smart and safe. Millerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've heard that Bosch will give Fein it's run for the money.So far I like the form factor of the Fein better. It's minor but it just seems to feel better while holding it. Next up will be a vibration comparison. The soft starts are two different animals as well. The Bosch has a pause and then ramps up to full speed pretty quickly. The Fein is much more gradual.

jswoger1986 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Holy Crap, that must have been some haul from HF, please post some pics of what you picked up....come on it's just one more tool.

WigWagWorkshop Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 For me it's also about the hardware, I can't walk into HD or Lowes without buying some screws, nails, nuts and bolts, or other misc hardware lol. It's like I want to have every size and type of screw on-hand. Even worse is my sanding addiction lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 new family memberLooks like a good one. Now, I'm used to Makita's hypoid, but is this considered the worm drive? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900V using TapatalkI've got the Dewalt 20v OMT. Sometimes I feel it's underpowered cutting hard woods. Would a corded Bosch be a significant upgrade or should I just but better blades? Other than vibration and blade changing mechanisms, I'm honestly not sure what the big differentiators are with OMTs.

Kato Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Had to go to Menard's and pick up a couple pieces of wood to finish a project, came home with this nice little screwdriver set, was around 9 bucks I think, 9.99 or something like that...

jswoger1986 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've only heard a little bit on here about menards but there is one in Philadelphia here.

Kato Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Took me a few minutes of searching through the recycle bin before I realized that I threw the package in the garbage in the kitchen..."Tool Rich"??

Is there anything special about that store over the HDSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nothing special, cheaper tools, they do have some bosch and some other decent tools but a lot of lower quality chinese stuff. Personally I love their lumber they have great prices and an awesome selection, other than that HD is better with tools by a long shot.
