Anyone have any pics of theirs set up yet? I picked one up but I'm not sure if I can do the 18 inches away from everything as the manual says.

I've seen some that say Chrome vanadium and others say chrome moly. Is there a big difference? Is one preferable over the other?

What size would be best for the home?

Mine arrived today. For some reason I thought it was cancelled. Judging by some of the remarks on here and some reviews maybe I would have been better off if it was.

Where did you order from?

Hello all, I found this forum while searching for opinions on best cordless tools and have a question. I am a DIYer and the most I would use the tools for is finishing a basement and possibly building a deck. My question is what is the point where an 18 volt tool is necessary instead of a 12...
