I use the Dewalt DC825 for deck screws, it works great. I already had a Dewalt 18V drill and wanted to stick with one kind of battery, so bought the bare impact on ebay for $60 (brand new). I just checked and there are still plenty for sale.

Agree 100%.

Those add on clamps will work fine with your meter, you just set your meter to mA/mV depending on the clamp and convert the displayed value to amps (say, 1 mV = 1 amp). My Fluke 87 came with a i400 clamp (AC only) and it is incredibly useful for doing electrical and appliance repair around the...

Or like ducksface says, repair it. It looks like this guy has your saw and fixed his: http://lumberjocks.com/topics/5090

The broken part is called a trunnion, to help your search. Many Taiwan/China saws share the same dimensions as the Delta and replacements are available on ebay and elsewhere. For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Delta-14-bandsaw-rear-trunnion-426-02-0-950-0002-or-LBS-60/111019161635...

If you have a drill press, you can make a throw away jig by drilling a same size hole in a piece of scrap hardwood. On the plywood, use an awl to mark the hole and drill a tiny bit freehand to enlarge, then use the jig to keep it straight while you drill through. :thumbup:

I have an FC2002, the air outlet is on the back of the regulator, opposite the gauge. It won't hold pressure with nothing connected (a hose+tool, ball valve, or quick connect coupler). The owner's manual is on Rolair's website, btw...

Huh, I bought a Mag 2aa Pro (SP2P01H) last year and has always been unusable due to flicker. I didn't know this was a common problem. I just sent them an email, hopefully they have a fix, it would be a good flashlight if it worked reliably. Haven't tried the Pro+.

Like the others, I recommend the ratcheting Snap On, but have a plain handle like you are talking about too (Craftsman #43373). You can find a made in the USA one on ebay for less than $10, the China ones supposedly have bad magnets. I like the Snap On ACR bits, they are $3 (free shipping) and...

There is a nice old pamphlet by Nicholson called File Filosophy if you want to get really into it. Just google for "file filosophy pdf". It's good stuff!

I agree with Gerald about lots of small bulbs. Have you considered LEDs? I recently replaced every bulb in my house with LEDs from Ikea and I really like them: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20266225/ The form factor and color rendition are almost identical to incandescent, no...

Good grief. My part #'s start with 706 and I remember them weighing 260/140 as well. I bought them new this year, but I do not know if they are the same as the batch on sale now or not. This toolbox rabbit hole goes deep. Sorry for adding to the confusion!

Hi macgee, here is a photo of the Craftsman sliders (top) next to a specimen from my kitchen cabinet project (bottom). The Craftsman slider is made by Repon (Taiwan) and is a standard 100 lb. side mounted slider, all the drawers are mounted similarly. There are two lengths used (the top box is...

Good choice, I have the top/middle/bottom stack and they are nice boxes. :thumbup:

Yeah, I think there is an incentive in place that is forcing employees everywhere to game the system by clearing orders before they are ready, leaving them with no way of tracking which orders have been fulfilled.
