I have to say I love these clamps. I'm getting much better results when building things out of pocket holes than I did in the past. These aren't my photos just so you know. I might have to get those. I'm not a huge fan of the Kreg corner clamp, sometimes it still comes out a little off and my OCD can't take it. It's ok for some things but not great.

rrich1 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Keeping with rockler. I got some bandy clamps and some router bit inserts. I plan to make a router bit holder sometime soon and these hold 1/4 and 1/2" so be much easier to move around the bits. I'm going to really like these clamps.

I haven't used the Kreg corner jig shown above, but it looks like it has potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I am a sucker for flashlights. Normally I would avoid a proprietary battery, but I am sure I can replace the 18650 if needed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works a lot better for miters, maybe I need to get at least four of them and it would work better but the surface isn't grippy so the pieces can move on you.

I do have four of the corner clamps. It allows me to keep all four corners aligned and if something is a little off in the middle, I either use a clamp or push it in by hand to line it up. They seem to hold very well on the plywood I've been using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 @jtkendall how have you liked your new Ironclad gloves? Do your hands stay warm? Do they seem quality? I'm looking at getting some for myself cause it has been cold and windy out and the gloves I own aren't doing justice. I am probably going to upgrade to a Cold Condition Waterproof or the Tundra but figured I would ask about your thoughts on the Summit Reflective.

Definitely warm, good quality and I’d buy another pair if they were lost or somehow damaged. With the wind chill last week in MD making it feel below zero I never had a moment where I wished they were warmer even though they say they are only good down to 40°. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Wow! just had the best customer service hands down ever. Nothing else even comes close. I bought some gloves online from Baseline Equipment Company and they took the time to have a real guy call me to personally thank me for my order. He could have easily just sent me an email because it was an online order but no he put in the extra effort to call. He mentioned that the gloves weren't available and took the time to not just suggest a different pair of gloves but called the gloves company to check on availability. He said they won't be available until March but said I could buy one size larger and have them within a few days and even said he couldn't resist mentioning that he liked my email.

Biggie Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 While it's shaped a little different it definately has a overall bigger feel than the original hackzall but man is it ever smooth. Night and day different from the dewalt brushless compact. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I bought one of Bosch's new 40 something piece bit sets with the new bit box system. I used a $25 gift card I got and only had to pay $1 and some change. I liked that it had a wider variety of 2 in bits like a phillips #3 and #1 and a torx t40 which my Flextorq does not come with in 2 in and no t40 at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm2176 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Picked up six 4" Bessey QuickTight c-clamps earlier, as well as two DeWalt 28" rolling tool boxes. I'm hoping my wood working tools fit in the 28" box better than the Ridgid box they are currently in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 My Gloves arrived today. I hope they will work. They are Ironclad Tundra gloves. 200 gram insulation, full water and wind proof, and kevlar reinforced material. Rated for as cold as 0 degrees F. Should keep my hands warm, dry, and provide some protection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 My Bosch bit set came today. It seems nice enough. The case is nice and even has a rubber like material on the edges for added protection. It is a nice touch. My work bought a new air stapler. It is a cap stapler from Stinger. I didn't get a chance to use it but was told it works well. We didn't use it much. We planned to use it more but were only able to use it for the valley paper. We were gonna try some new to us roofing material called RhinoRoof and instal it with the Stinger stapler. It is a synthetic replacement to tar paper. Almost seemed like a similar feel to Tyvek paper. After reading the label on the roll of RhinoRoof we found out using staples with RhinoRoof will void the warranty. After a bit of research as to why, we found out they claim staples could tear the paper. We only had the 20 paper but apparently if we had the 50 paper we could have used the staples without voiding the warranty. Apparently certain sizes are acceptable on the 50 without voiding the warranty. So instead of stapling the paper we hand drove it with some cap nails. I think my boss is going to switch out the stapler with the nailer version. They are cool staplers. It has 2 chambers. On one you feed the roll of caps then on the other side you put in your staples. It then joins the 2 together when it shoots. I would guess the nailer functions like the stapler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fm2176 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Picked up a Ryobi tile saw for $50 earlier. Reviews are mostly positive and before I use it I'll probably get a better blade and a pump. Like most of my tools it will get little use for now, but I do have some tile projects planned for the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
