What tools did you buy today?

Got new M18 impact driver, hammer drill, and circ saw. All going back to CPO Monday. One key is a joke. Can't find nearby tools. Located the driver, briefly, then it was lost again. Never did get it to locate the drill. Too much money for not-ready-for-primetime tech.

Disappointing. Might try Making.

yea man ...I have heard this from so many people recently as well as my friend who is a Milwaukee rep! its a shame.  Give it 6-8 months and then i am sure will be a black and white difference. Gen 2 is still the best out there.

Sorry to hear that Todd. I hope you can get something that fits the bill!

Got another Fuel drill/driver combo and these wiring clips. I usually use the wire nuts but have seen these in a lot of pics online. Was gonna use them to wire my 2 gang outlet boxes. Anyone like or not like em?

They're nice for romex, not worth the trouble on stranded wire.

Great to hear! Using them for these boxes which was the only thing I went to HD for but ended up picking up that 2nd Fuel set instead of $6 in boxes haha

Sounds a lot like my trips to HD lol. Those are real time savers and a lot of light fixtures come with them already on the pigtail.

Don't see much of Delta but this is similar to the one I grew up with, along with Delta bandsaw, drill press, and thickness planer

How much for the 2 batteries? 

$130 at HD. I went to 4 stores and nobody could find them but all stores I went to had like over 40 in stock. 

I finally found a guy who knew where they were. 

 

They also sell one 3 amp battery for 100. 

You may as well spend an extra 30 dollars to get the battery.

Those clips arent bad,there are some out there by a company called Wago. I like the Wago lever style ones.

 

Ideal makes decent stuff.

 

We use push style connectors all the time in machine assemblies. They work well. I can highly recommend the Wago brand,they have a push style connector for nearly every type of wiring job.

I know those were 90 at my store recently but went back up for some reason. I think some online retailers are running a special for 2 bare tools and get a free 4amp hour battery and charger.

I was thinking of getting the little blower and vacuum making it the best deal.

Those push In connectors shown are great for romex solid wire but  I love the wago lever ones, the new compact 5 wire ones are awesome especially in a quad box stuffed full of dimmers which use stranded wire as they work great on solid or stranded and take up as much space as a single wire nut.
