I also found out that apparently they were on sale so I got an even better deal on them. Yeah, I keep track of the Wera set and around $30 you're doing well. It will go to $35-$45. $30-$32 is their normal low sale price, though once in the past two years it dropped to $26. The chiseldrivers can drop to that low too but it's infrequent.

Jronman Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 @rfwjr Doesn't appear to have an on/off trigger? I have never used a barrel grip jigsaw before. Nice find though. Bosch makes a good jigsaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice I've never had a jigsaw in my life, someone gave me a Hitachi, it's in good condition and I've been enjoying using it.

BLRWI Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Haven't got pictures up yet but got the FlexVolt 9.0 twin pack for my miter saw. Just an awesome setup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Milwaukee M18 jigsaw thinking I'd use it often but all I discovered was I hate that style of jigsaw, I need to buy either the M12 version or maybe the Bosch barrel grip one.

I tried using it to clear a downed tree from a roadway. Thank God a road crew came by. It was like hitting a wet log with a baseball bat. I have some friends that compete in the Stihl Timbersport series. Back in 2007 a race axe was around 400.00. I'm not sure what they go for now. The guy in the video is one of the best axe grinders around. Its amazing how much penetration they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Good News: The expected delivery date on by flashy new axe is Friday. Lightning fast shipping from Walthers Equipment in Byron Center, Michigan, and the even threw in a free Husqvarna hat! ? Bad News: Having been a long time coach and someone virtually every kid in the elementary school is familiar with, I got bushwhacked into chaperoning the 5th grade field trip to Monticello in Charlottesville, VA......also on Friday ☹️ Man, it's a tough call. The parent in me knows these kids will remember this trip long after I'm dead and I glad to be a part of it. The tool junkie in me wants that damn axe! The struggle is real 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 My Wera screwdrivers showed up this morning. Really like how they feel in my hands and the lasertip's are nice. Also the Klein backpack from the "6 Days of Christmas" giveaway is filling up nicely, though none of the pockets are deep enough for the longest Wera screwdriver to sit securely. The Milwaukee pouch in the bottom has hex and torx keys in it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As rare as they are these days, once you come across some and use your Weras, you will like them even more. That Klein bag is looking good man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Laser tip Wera are beyond belief when you first use them. Amazing screwdrivers. Ordered the 20v Max brushless 3/8" impact kit w/ 4.0s. No use for it really, I have the superior Milwaukee version but I'm lead to believe they posted prices for bare tool and kit backwards; so if they don't cancel it I'll win lol. Plus I got a 2 pack of Diablo blades for a song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
