sparky603 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Some more spline-shank bits came. I just can't pass up German-made bits at under $10 each and free shipping. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they released only very recently here. I bought this from Gasweld for $310 AUD delivered. It looks like they're available pretty much everywhere here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Time to take a file to those nutsetters so they lock in an impact driver. Except they aren't magnetic are they? I have some I would do that to, as your suggestion is an excellent tip, but they aren't magnetic so I don't have much of an incentive to do it Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the one I'll loan out to friends. It's out on loan to a plumber buddy right now, in fact. No doubt that's why you can find the deals on them, because they've been kind of supplanted. Speaking of which, if anyone is looking for an SDS-Max RH, the 1-9/16" Makita AVT one is on clearance at HD's in my area right now, down to $300 currently, from $600. Might be worth checking out in your area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I've been living in this little bubble and never knew spline was the disowned stepchild, the big Milwaukee rotary hammer at work is spline and I would hate to think what would happen if we couldn't get replacement bits....it's not a cheap machine Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I didn't get any run time with this little fella this evening, but I did at least get it out of the box! It came with the 6.2 LiHD battery, I had heard there may be a chance some of the kits had the 5.2 ah battery. Just looking around and messing with all of the moving parts the fit and finish seems really nice. Everything is very smooth and seems really solid. The saw is pretty light with well placed handles making it really easy to carry. I have to finish framing out my shower niche this weekend so I should get a chance to cut a few 2x4's. Nothing really exciting but should at least get a few cuts in. I ended up getting it out the door at Lowes for $190 ( $347 plus several gift cards) couldn't really pass it up. The 8-1/2" blade combined with being able to slide should be more than I will need. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they make you send it in. Mine will do the hf coupon and am really wanting to get the dewalt planer. Hf has a 25% off coupon starting tomorrow that I would love to use.
