Picked up a few items at Local ACE this morning with a free bucket and 20% off for a grand reopening.

Nice pickup man. Our local Ace went out of business. Pretty disappointing really, I liked that store.

I have one and like it quite a bit for use with my fuel 7 1/4 circ. I think you need to take a little time to set it up and make sure it's square but it's also highly dependent on the specific saw's layout as to how well it clamps on. The Milwaukee fuel saw has a nice strip of engraved ruler marks along the front edge of its base plate which makes it easy to get the points of the securing screws to stay put. Other saws might have a tougher time getting things secure. All in all I find it super useful and it's been nothing but great for giving me a nice straight cut when I've used it; particularly when I had to cut the top off of a brand new cabinet to custom fit a gas range top:

It doesn't seem like there are too many ACE Hardwares around anymore. Just happens to be a couple around here in small communities.

I'm going to guess those Irwin pipe clamps are nicer than the Pony brand I have a few of.... come to think of it I have a few pair of Rockler ones I really like

The Metabo impact driver showed up today. No chance to test it out yet but first impression is pretty good. All of the fit and finish is quality as to be expected. The thing just runs so smooth its hard to describe. It's light and well balanced. Here are a couple pics. Ive got some comparison shots with my Bosch 25618 Impactor. They both have on the 2.0ah batteries for comparison.
