Bosch just should have designed them to stand up with the small packs. Milwaukee's 12v Fuel drill stands up with a small battery and it's 1/3 larger than the Bosch in length (at least).

A breeze will knock it over...that being said, I don't know if I'd rather the Dewalt style 12v packs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw it on the net I thought it looked like a bit of a gimmick but no, it's really nice and the magnet is strong. Nice that you can remove the outer sleeve to move any dust or crap that might get stuck to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 When we bought the house 3 or 4 years ago the cabinets were in a terrible way. Nice oak cabinets, raised panel doors, etc, but they were painted by the previous owner and rather badly at that. I stripped them, sanded them, and refinished them in gunstock, even did 4 coats of poly. They turned out beautiful. Well, as we redid everything, she opted for a darker stain. Custom color (blended by me only because no off the shelf color matches the flooring) and now as I make my way into the kitchen it's become obvious that the cabinets are going to drive her crazy. She's basically begged me to redo them and I've all but refused. The reality is that I was going to do redo them regardless. Guy couldn't ask for a better wife. She's a great mom and takes good care of me and tolerates my tool addiction. She's a good cook, good with money, and doesn't look half bad either. If I came home tomorrow and told her I'd quit my job to start a band she'd (after the initial shock) likely support me. However, being a tool junkie of some experience, I leveraged my power in the situation to extort a 100 lb. soda blaster out of the deal. After seeing Jimbo sanding his table and chairs, I started having flashbacks. Any night now I was going to start waking up in cold sweats from the PTSD brought on by the last time I refinished them. After Comp's comments, I watched no less than 30 videos online of people using them on wood and I'm convinced this is the best way to go. Best part about it? Not a dime of it came out of my "secret" tool budget that she totally knows all about but pretends she doesn't. I don't know how well it will work out, but I'm $200 worth of willing to find out! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a beautiful relationship... my wife sees packages at the door and assumes tool companies send them to me to try out because it happens quite often... However.. I don't exactly correct her when they are packages i purchased myself heheh 2 hours ago, FlaveNico said: had to finally pick one up. 79.99. Not a bad purchase and I like it so far.

Nice banner! they were pushing the new hart hammer, estwing is still one of the best, and its american made, my first choice, the guy from milwaukee told me they had to remove some of their milwaukee hand tools that were geared towards electrician ? orders from klein if they still wanted to sell klein. not a problem with me though as all my electrician tools are klein anyway.

dwasifar Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well, I had good luck with the el cheapo Wen brad nailer, so I thought I might give another el cheapo nailer a try: This 15 gauge pneumatic nailer is a product of the world's number one leader in professional quality tools, "3Plus." I don't know how it's going to be. Amazon reviews were mostly positive. I don't do a whole lot of finish nailing, and for $75 it's worth trying before spending $140 on a Hitachi. The box has some interesting errors: My experience is that mold attaches itself to surfaces without the need for nails. As to the fasteners, I'm pretty sure it's impossible for it to take more than one gauge of nails. Nothing in the manual says anything about 11ga nails. Cut and paste error perhaps. We'll see how it is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't often install mold but when I do I prefer a Chinese knock off nailer equipped with a manual full of typos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
