    $149 Milwaukee TRUEVIEW LED Flood Light with M18 18-Volt 5.0Ah Battery

    Could anyone who has bought one of these answer? Does it charge? It seems like a no-brainier, just wondering if it being a light got around the Dewalt patent (troll). I'll buy it anyway 'cause of it being $20 over the cost of a 5 aH battery.

    Can't understand the Festool Kool-Aid

    My point was pretty obvious, maybe not obvious enough. Most of North America is not within 100 miles of a purchasable European standard overpriced blade or piece of sandpaper.

    Ridgid Gen5X tools

It cured me of trying Ridgid again, 4 of 4 switches went bad, bad cold weather performance a trait shared with lithium-ion technology but Milwaukee and Makita batteries are Far superior in this regard. Then there is the issue of the line, Milwaukee and Makita both...

    http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-17-piece-mach-t-handle-driver/p-00948025000P Does anyone have any primary experience with this? I also saw a Husky version in 3/8. I like the concept though I think a square drive (female) at the intersection of the handles, making a finger spinner and an...

    Automatically Lock Old Threads?

    I think that the search function in this forum is at least partial to blame. Every time I use it I wonder why I tried to kick the football again.
