    Dewalt Deals

    Dewalt DWE7480 table saw for $277 at CPO Outlets on Amazon. $279 from Amazon and some Lowes for $299. Over the years I've seen a lot of talk about the 745 special buy price of $229 or $279-$299 with stand. I didn't need a stand so it seemed like a decent deal for the extra rip capacity and...

    Ahh, that makes more sense. :thumbup:

    Running 120v Generator to L14-30 rec options?

    Why do I need to use the Pulsar one? Is there something inside that is different from the HF one? Obviously, I don't want to mess up the gens, but I also don't want to spend more than I have to, either. There are at least 2 positive reviews on the HF site of people using the HF parallel kit...

    Running 120v Generator to L14-30 rec options?

    Hey all, I'm trying to figure out what options I have to use a couple new generators I bought. Right now, when the power goes out at my house, I use a B&S 5500w non-inverter generator that I hook to a manual transfer switch with the typical 30a Reliance L14-30p on the back of my house using a...

    Which 3/8 cordless impact

    You should buy an adapter and enjoy your tool. I've used the Sunex 3300 with mine for 5 years now with no problems. I have a full Sunex 3/8" impact kit but it's buried in my box and I rarely use it. I like using the adapter since my 1/2" impact sockets are on a tray ready to go. Plus, if the...

    2018 Home Depot Clearance Thread

    Not sure if this is old news (I didn't find it while searching) but for a while now HD has had a deal where you get a free tool if you buy the Ridgid 9.0ah Octane battery starter kit. (This is their "one key"-style battery). I was bored earlier so I added it to the cart and started adding other...

    HF has new top&bottom 44", drawer cabinet & locker add ons too

    Numbers definitely seem strange. Gen1: 14,200 cu in., holds 2633 lbs. 245lbs Gen2: 14,000 cu in., holds 2600 lbs. 291lbs Almost 50 lbs heavier, deeper drawers and less room?

    Proto 5450PBL rebuild kit?

    Thanks for the info SK farmer and nice set of ratchets! I'll setup an alert in case a kit pops up on eBay. The only other Big Dawg I have is a mostly unused 5249P that's spent it's life sitting in one of my bottom drawers. I got it when I bought the 5450PBL. Around that same time I also picked...

    Proto 5450PBL rebuild kit?

    I've never had any problems with mine. I never used it for anything extreme, but I used it on a lot of stuff where I probably should have grabbed a breaker bar to be safe and it never so much as skipped a tooth. The main reason I like it because it takes the least amount of force to move to...

    Proto 5450PBL rebuild kit?

    OK, thanks. That's why I was asking as I thought they quit making them. As for my brother. . . he won't using any of my tools again. His "can I borrow. . . " turned into me having to do 98% of the work to replace the drivers side rotor, caliper, bearings, etc., on his 1992 F250 with the Dana 50...

    Proto 5450PBL rebuild kit?

    Anyone have an extra rebuild kit, or know a part#, for a Proto 5450PBL? (One of the industrial finish 15" 1/2" drives) My brother thought it would be a good idea to use it as a hammer and broke off the selector lever. It was my 'go to' 1/2" ratchet. I see rebuild kits for the chrome 5450 with...

    Help ID These Air Compressor Pumps.

    Thanks. That's what I was thinking they were but they I wasn't 100% sure since they're a little different than the newer pumps. Strange timing, after looking for an old compressor a long time I finally picked up an '81 Curtis with a D97 pump on it a couple weeks ago and now this pops up. I've...

    2017 HD deals/sales/clearance thread

    OK, thanks. That's what they were going for around my area, so the price is good, but all the stores are sold out, except one; which still has 23, but they're still holding firm at $119. If I don't have any luck trading I'll get with you.
