Yup they are the yellow handled demo drivers, no laser etching but they got a steel cap, you can get the green hex bolstered as well but I don't think are as strong Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed to imply that I'm more concerned with my coworkers borrowing them, and not returning till I asked if they knew where they were! I'm sure between the power tools, and the yeti cooler, they would over look a tool roll or rack with a few red screwdrivers.

The yellows are still nice even without the laser tip. CC: @x1xkodiakx1x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do really want one eventually, I decided to grab a toy that would get more use right now. Finally got tired of waiting for DeWalt's new brad nailer and pulled the trigger on a Senco. If I end up not liking it, I'll probably just try to return/sell it and wait for the DeWalt again. I'm HOPING that's not the case. The bag that this thing came with is pretty sweet. Usually I prefer the hard cases because my bags tend to get messy and full of a bunch of junk, but this one has little sections on the inside (outside as well) to hold the charger and battery, and it has plenty of room for nails and what not. Excited to put it through the paces! That's cool, you hardly ever hear of the fusion nailer when cordless nailers are brought up, heard they could be troublesome from some, but talked to a contractor who liked his, so it might be user error 10 hours ago, NicolasRamos said: I love those drivers!

While researching them, it seemed like most of the issues were battery-related when they first came out. If I'm not mistaken, they've updated the batteries since then, so it shouldn't be an issue anymore... Also, I want to say that everyone I saw complaining was doing so about the 15/16ga finish nailers. I can't recall ever seeing someone upset with their 18ga brad nailer, so that kind of stood out to me as well. Either way, I figured it was at least worth a try. Worst case scenario, it goes back and I keep waiting on the yellow team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will be out the first half of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwasifar Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hanging out with you guys is bad for my wallet. Here's today: KnarlyCarl bought the TurboShear at Menards and I immediately said to myself "How have I lived without this device?" So I also bought one at Menards' bag sale. While there I picked up a Channellock 8" adjustable wrench purely because BMack37 recommended it. It was $30 for the Wide-Azz version with "Code Blue" grip, or $16 for the one you see here, so I bought the cheaper one and a thing of Plasti Dip to cushion the handle. Finally we have an el cheapo ratcheting band clamp from Horror Fright. For $7 I will give it a try before I move up to name brand clamps costing three and four times as much. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have everything from harbor freight tools to snap-on and everything in between. I treat my hf tools with the same respect as my snap-on. Most tools if you treat them right they will last. I have to much money invested not to, plus I can't afford to constantly replace the ones I have. That would keep me from buying things I don't.
