The motor on the saw is a brushless motor (induction motor), so no dice there. On to plan B. Once again, thanks for all of the responses.

The saw sees all types of use. The most recent projects included a wood floor installation and cabinets. Its hard for me to say I manly use it for this or for that, because I find it necessary for most projects and convenient for all the rest. I am no professional cabinet maker, so I would...

Ive been using my grandfathers old craftsman for the longest time, but the motor recently went in the middle of a project. I may restore the old saw, but for now any recommendations on a new one? I'm working on a budget, but also looking for quality if I can find it.

Does anyone know where you can buy these? Specifically part # IR-12QK (the 12 piece set). I know they are made by Stride Tools and "rebranded" under many tool names, but I am specifically looking for the Imperial branded set. I'm having trouble trying to find a supplier for pricing purposes...

New member, first post. For those in the area, the new NAPA on US1 in Sebastian, Fl. is running a special on the E3-16S Eastwing 16 oz. hammer for $6.99. Picked up 2 for this ridiculous price. And yes, made in the U.S.A. For reference, this is the exact same hammer for sale on amazon...
