    The DeWalt Addiction Thread

    I’ve used Dewalt when I first started in the field, ‘03. 14.4v for years, then the 18v. Now 20 and Flex. What really sold me was an unfortunate incident 3 years ago. My garage caught on fire. I had just purchased the DW734 a week previous. After the damage was assessed , I figured it...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    My “research” Google the model number and read the entries from Vintage Machinery.org. It looks like 2-58 or 59 to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I just picked this up today off of FB for 30$. I never knew there was a “pre-block” era. From my limited research this was made in ‘61?? What say you Craftsman Block Grinder historians/aficionados? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So to broaden my horizons, what circumstances are a no go with a spool gun? Tight confines? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New welder soon

    That’s awesome and a coincidence!! I ordered a Lincoln MP210 on Valentines Day and it got on the truck Friday as well! Can’t wait for it to arrive. I’m a novice at welding but I’m excited to learn and progress my skills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rotary Hammer Drill Recommendations

    I would totally buy. It’s probably $60+ to rent for a day any you can own one for 2-3x that. I work in commercial construction and we use SDS Plus and Max almost on a daily basis. We mainly use Bosch and Hilti, they have withstood years of abuse. I also own a Hitachi that has performed well...

    Picked this guy up for 25$ out the door at my local pawn shop. Sure, it's missing a tool rest, and both guards, but the light is still intact. I buy tools to use them, so the missing components are just a minor inconvenience. This will be a good complement to my Wissota. Sent from my iPhone...

    Spent 60$ for this haul. 4 #0 Jorgensen hand screws, big old school clamp, 2 glass suction cups and this 7$ Stanley No. 3. The suction cups retail for almost 90$ ea. Got them both for 20$. I'm a commercial builder and we use them occasionally, so I couldn't pass up the good deal. Sent...

    Stopped in at local indoor flea market the other day on a whim on lunch, and scored these beauties! Best part, $13.91 for all 3!! This was the same booth I bought the 25$ Wissota bench grinder a couple months back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
