    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Yep, you've got it. I snagged two of them from Depot thanks to that way cheap $10 price, just to play with. I'm not a contractor and have no real need for them but I'm into new tech and thought I'd try them out. Setup is dead simple. They've got to get more people using the app though, to make...

    Project Research: Kegerator

    Agree. I am a beer fanatic but have zero desire to get a kegerator because I never want to have to drink the same beer that much. I don't even particularly like buying a six pack of the same beer when there's so many new beers always available to try!

    Rain water collection and usage

    I'll just advise to make sure your setup is equipped to handle overflow well. When we bought our house, it had a rain barrel in the front at the downspout that gets a TON of water and, even with the overflow tube hooked up, it didn't drain fast enough with hard rains and we ended up having a ton...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I mean, it's basically the same idea as the HF one so the comparison's fair, IMO. Especially for DIY/weekend warriors versus pros like me!

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    You guys see this new automotive underhood work light Milwaukee has coming? It's M12 and looks fantastic...but $200 for the bare tool? http://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-m12-underhood-led-worklight/#comment-1073244 Hard to believe it's 6x as good as this Harbor Freight one...

    Best gap filler for driveway expansion joint

    I know I'm resurrecting this thread from the dead but wanted to share Trim-a-Slab as an option - I ordered samples of this and it seems like a perfect solution: https://trim-a-slab.com/

    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    Thanks for asking! I've been in communication with Kevin about the jaws and, apparently, my American Scale No. 55 having 3 mounting holes vs. 2 is something he hasn't run into. Sending him one of my jaws to ensure they match up with his anyway, leaving out the middle mounting hole. As far as...

    Tool box Roller deals

    And a lot cheaper. I love my Milwaukee but am annoyed how nice the Husky versions are for less $.

    Getting my project started

    Sounds like a great project! Looks like the grey set is still available and on sale for $1,400. Still seems like a great deal!

    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    Weird - the pictures are showing for me? They're all linked from Google Drive. But yes, two days of PB Blaster soaking took care of it and I got them all out using my impact driver. Also got the nut pin out without any issue, and then the spring clip+set screw came right out too so I've got it...

    Atlas 64 restoration

    That's very cool. Interesting they were still making them despite the war effort. Wonder if the demand for them was high for use in making things for the war, so it was ok to keep manufacturing the presses themselves too?

    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    Apologies in advance if these questions are answered. I've been searching this thread to no avail. So, this thing came apart easily and still seems to be in good shape. The jaws themselves seem solid, though one of the inserts is pretty destroyed. Question on the above: I am using PB...
