kruton Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I going to one tomorrow........[emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ok so I have to know what makes it a Mega Menards. Our Menards is really large and carries a lot of things you wouldn't think would be at a hardware store but they don't call it a Mega Menards. Now I'm really curious.

sparky603 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 These 2 Arborwear double-thick sweatshirts came just now. Not exactly tools, but they make a workday spent outside in January up here more enjoyable. If you're not familiar with them, they feature 2 13oz layers, so they are extremely heavy. They're so awesome that I normally pay full price for them with no qualms whatsoever, but got lucky and happened upon them in my size at over 1/2 off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a guy who used them and he loved them tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 15 minutes from arborwear I love those guys! Good people working there and tough clothing! Those are some serious sweatshirts too. Mine take 2 cycles in the dryer to dry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish Klein would come out with a forged pair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousJoe Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I look forward to trying those out. I really like the ergonomics of ideal reflex strippers but the cutters are so small that they often don't cut thru romex in one cut. The new milwaukees addressed that with longer and curved cutters.

olletsocmit Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I have some receptacles to do I'm going to give them a try hopefully they're nice they did look a little weird to me. I'm used to a different angle I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I mentioned in another thread that I bought and returned the Dewalt DS100 organizer. Lid seemed flimsy/brittle, like it would easily crack. Plus I really didn't look like the way those TS wings had to be awkwardly stuck up for opening and closing the lid. I could see breaking the lid by closing it with one of the wings folded down. This Milwaukee has the same water tight seal, but the wings for attachment of other cases are built into the lid. Much better system, imo. Not to mention the DS100 was 60% more expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours doesn't have any food. I can only imagine how big that thing is because our store is pretty large. Jimbo you are surrounded by tools store goodness!

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Menards around here has a section with pet food and accessories, couple aisles with snacks and cereal and different things like that. Maybe a small freezer with frozen pizza I cant remember. A bunch of coolers with drinks, too, pretty much anything you would find in a convenience store. Good selection of chocolate covered almonds, raisins, peanuts, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm not sure why it is apples to oranges. Separate handle, like the DS100. Rubber gasket, like the DS100. About the same size too, I think, with 10 instead of 12 bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the two you're comparing are similar, the one he linked to is almost exactly the same as the Milwaukee one. I'm pretty sure Dewalt make it in response to the Milwaukee one or vice versa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
