What did you buy today?

[KnowAir]

Makita is my choice for home cordless tooling. No complaints, its good tooling. They have recently released the 40volt range. Hopefully they keep the 18v range for a while longer.

At work I choose Milwaukee cordless tools. Both brands have been faultless.

In the past I've used Bosch. What a let down.

I understand, my brother bought heavily into the Makita cordless line years ago..then, they went and changed the batteries..he's not a Makita fan anymore..
Good tools, greedy business. JMO. ✌

I have mainly Ryobi with a few Craftsman mixed in. Inherited a whole set of Dewalt tools from FIL.

Love me Ryobi electric chainsaw, blower and weedwacker!

My Ego cordless snow blower kicks butt!

I looked at Milwaukee and Craftsman. Milwaukee batteries are higher priced than the Dewalt batteries, and I liked the ergonomics of the Dewalt saw and Dewalt batteries better. What I don't like about Craftsman is they change the voltage on their tools every so often: my collection of 19V Craftsman batteries that are in great shape won't work with their newer tools. So my old tools are obsolete: at the price of batteries these days, that's large expense to have to put out to buy both tools and batteries.

I bought the Dewalt Atomic line because I might need to get into tight spaces. Online reviews say the Atomic line is great for use in tight spaces, particularly for plumbers, electricians, and DIY folks. I know the Atomic won't replace a larger saw for heavier projects, but I won't ever need a larger saw for what I plan to use it for.

& dewalt makes an adapter to use their old 18v tools w/ newer 20v batteries. I ONLY use dewalt @ work- never have been disappointed. Dropped my impact drill off the roof one day from 20' up onto concrete. Battery popped off, but slapped it back on & has run perfectly since

I know right. I dropped a small black coil spring from my scx24 and couldn't find it. Both my son and I have been searching for it with torches. Then eventually the next day I somehow spotted it. See if you can see it in the second photo.

Be careful with them. I have a 46t and a 54t. They are no where good as saga or Robinson ect ect. Two were warped to the point where I didn't even trust them.

Fall project.....we live in semi-rural/country area. Don't trust anyone! I'm gonna be watching you!!

Gotta see what coverage I get with these. Don't won't no blind spots. Got a 16 ch DVR as I'll probably add a few more outside and maybe 1 or 2 inside.

I have one. It's nice with Bluetooth to watch the cells.

After watching the guys at my local RC shop running their drift cars on the carpet track today, I decided to buy the MST RMX in the link below. The orange was the only color on sale, and only on sale at Amain, and I also had $20 in store credit. It was a no-brainer: I'll save $125 any time.

Do they allow gyro’s on the track?

Do they allow gyro’s on the track?

Yes, they do. It’s not a large track, and it was really designed more for racing Mini Z and 1/16 and 1/18 scale vehicles. The owner recently got into drifting, so he opened the track up for that,

I decided to cancel the order: I got to thinking about it more, and I realized I may not be the drifting type.

Bought 10 gallons of leaded VP 110 racing fuel for $100

Then went back to TB for some more of them Cinnabon holes. Them bastards should be illegal.
