Race2win01 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Finally decided to grab a dedicated crimping pliers & stop crimping connectors with the all in one strippers with the crimping portion under the pivot.....tired of the awkwardness of using them & the poor quality crimps that wouldn't always hold. I grabbed Milwaukee's version of this tool today & had to test it out as soon as I opened it......I can't believe I have waited this long to buy one! The only thing is that I wished it had the insulated section directly under the cutters. If that bothers me too much I will just pick up the 909 channel locks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're not really trusting of it but would you be interested in getting a Milwaukee Tick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought two. Not getting very stellar results with them. Been within 10' of them for an hour now and the last time it picked up was when my phone was 2' from it and on WiFi at work yesterday. Unless the guy stealing my stuff has the app, not really inclined to believe it is theft deterrent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Give the breakaway blades a go. Took advantage of the 15% off 4 items plus free battery deals with the hole hawg and mid torque impact wrench. Plus the bag came with the hole hawg. .. Replacement bits for my bit case since i don't need a third case floating around 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fm2176 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 My Tough System DS Carrier arrived yesterday. FedEx didn't drop it off at the rental office like normal, but fortunately it was outside my apartment when I got home. Nothing like having a big box that has DeWalt stickers on it and a description of the contents left unsecured! It's a good thing no one has smart phones that are capable of searching for the worth of the package left outside for over seven hours... I'll post some pictures whenever I have time, but the carrier is a beast! Knowing it was arriving yesterday, I picked up a DS400 XL box on Sunday, and was tempted to grab a DS150 (I have 3 or 4 DS130s). My experience with my first DS450 wheeled box was less than stellar, and the new one DeWalt sent under warranty hasn't been put through its paces yet, but the DS400 seems to be more stoutly built, and the carrier relatively indestructible as a means of transporting the system. Next up is one more large Ridgid box. That will complete two Ridgid modular box systems to supplement two complete DeWalt Tough Systems, with a few boxes of each brand left for miscellany. Now I just need to find time to actually use this stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it is ; ) And yes somehow the tstak holding the flexvolt track saw was upside down in a right side up box. Good thing there was no damage. So far it seems like a very good unit. Figured out a fair bit about it already. I'm sure theres still more to learn about it. It is my first track saw. Would be nice if there was a spot to put a set of track clamps inside the tstak. Maybe there is but I couldn't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Need bigger tools because for to compensate. Mix of SK, Williams, Wright, and of course Proto. This one's name is Rihanna because she can sure take a hit, but even she has her limits. Just needed to cover up the damage. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice all of the FlexVolt.. thats a mighty fine flexvolt bucket you got there. How much more does it hold when you use a 9.0 instead of a 6.0? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
