I did too when I was given that option when I purchased my front splitter. I was like "Forged? Is that where they come to my house and make it in front of me like those hibachi restaurants?"

Lmafo. Wouldn't be the first time.. now the v2 gets it. Believe it is just a style.. instead of it clean look. They say forged.

Ooh, 40kg, niice. One day I'll pony up for some better servos LOL. Actually, I just stepped up from 25 to 35kg ds servos, so it'll be a while..

Nothing RC-related: I needed a reciprocating saw for some light work around the house and yard, and I bought this saw plus battery and charger.

I always try to buy the best or second best. But I wanted to see what the hype was with em. Hopefully it centers itself and holds the wheels straight. My powerhobby temp servo can't hold straight for nothing and it has 3 runs.

Ordered a couple of LWB chassis that will be sacrificed.. for a greater good.
The XXXLWB custom speed frame.

Creative mind in high gear? NICE!
I was going to make a bash bar with a second chassis but eh...I don't bash hard enough.

I buy the Ryobi one+ myself. Not as high quality as DeWalt or Milwaukee and others but I have Ryobi one+ tools that are over 20 years old and I can go to Homer Depot and buy a battery for them still today. Can't say that about ANY of the higher end cordless tools.
They are homeowner quality, I admit, but I'm a homeowner and they get the job done for me.
Love my Ryobi cordless tools

Same here.
I have a few DeWalts, but I have a ton more of the Ryobi One+ ,gets work done around the house and campsites, batteries fit no matter the year of the tool! and easy on the wallet

Cheaper..that too!!
Don't get me wrong, we have Milwaukee M18 impact guns that are serious beefcake, bolt snapping strong at work.. but I just can't help but love the Ryobi for what they are.

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.
