It would have been so much easier to add prior to sheathing. Impatience has only downsides.

If the shop couldn't fix it i wasn't going down that rabbit hole.

Hi my name is afinepoint and I'm a tooloholic and compulsive fixer. It's been seven days since my last purchase and two hours since my last "fix".

The garage trash was missed yesterday so lo and behold: My garage is small and every sq ft matters. Five projects currently cued up. I've been straightening and decluttering work drawers seeking room. I felt sorry for the little guy. I don't foresee needing this spot any time soon.

Fixed - for now a loud hedge trimmer. Was using and ran into a branch it couldn't cut. Trimmer began making loud rattling sound like gears gnashing. Disassembled, inspected greased and reassembled. Noise gone. Again for now. I think the teeth "bars" might have become misaligned in the...

Tossed.

Free to anyone in the Richmond Va area. I've had it looked over by a local tool repair shop years ago. I believe they didn't have parts. I can't remember the issue. Sorry not shipping. It goes out in this week's trash. Decluttering. email if interested. I rarely check here for messages.

1/4" Hitachi impact driver batteries finally gave up. $32 for non OEM NiCD. Don't want to deal with the memory issues of NICD ever again. The charger is for NiCD. Nope not going to charge NiMH even though it can. Not a good idea. This 3/8" Ridgid came in second in a very well done review...

Recently bought a 12" DWS 780 compound miter. Happy with the tool. Tried to register per direction. "Tool not found" when entering model. Wrote Dewalt. After an email or two was told the software doesn't always recognize the model and to use the date code. No good. Wrote back saying...

Made a smoothie with a drill and 24 mm socket when the blender refused. The socket fit snugly over the rubber teeth of blade drive. Got the blender going later. Stuck safety in base. I'd been out putting side and stair rails on the deck in heat rapidly heading to 97° F. I hadn't the...

Yeah. May not exist. The sliding Dewalt I bought shows both sides by way of casting the blades shadow. DNO.

One of the reviews was for a Dewalt DW705. That is my saw.. The issue he/she had was rubbing against the blade guard which was solved by increasing the clearance via additional washers to the guard mounting bolts. The device sounds like a good idea. My concerns would be: 1. Visibility in...

Hmm. I have read about these and still have the older saw. What's the lasers brand and model? Seems opinions are mixed regarding laser saws and retrofitting.

Follow instructions closely. Do not apply if there is the slightest chance of rain. It has its lovers and haters. Seems more of the latter. Biggest complaint is it's a mess to put down. Any granules missed and not sweeped into the gaps or off the patio will adhere to the stone's surface...

EGO multi head.
