You know this guy. You hire him once, but he has to come back three times to get the job done right.

I say paint it Snapon Pink or Ryobi Green. Hey, why not both?

As a humble DIY type, I wasn't really familiar with any of the professional-grade brands other than DeWalt, either, until I decided to shop for a cordless circular saw. This was the first thing I found, that set the bar pretty high for the state of the market...

Craftsman: Made To Make

Definitely not for a chainsaw, no, but I'd observe that I didn't see OP mention a chainsaw. I think his need for one is speculation on our part. :D So, I guess this comes down to OP's non-weed-trimmer needs. He says "small lot homeowner", and unless I misunderstood, he's been living with a 12V...

Perversely, if people are buying them anyway, I'd expect this to generate more search traffic and site visits. That confusion is certainly one thing that deterred me from getting into the Makita LXT line, though.

I haven't handled one, but I just did a bunch of research on cordless platforms to make a different purchase, and it looked to me like if you want to coordinate power supply with other cordless landscaping tools (and maybe any other tools), your "solid choice" is really Ryobi One+. 3 year...

Am I the only one who would feel nervous about using that as a wrench? Seems like if I manage to slip off the bolt, I'm also going to manage to torque the hatchet right into my own arm somehow.

So, I used to have one foot in digital marketing in a previous job. My first thought would be that there could be a big difference in interest between which brands "internet people" like and which brands other people like. Milwaukee has a lot of new products that some people see as innovative...

This has got to be the most informative discussion forum on the internet, and I'm only exaggerating a little. I could, and do, burn hours here. I learn something in every thread.

I did a Google Trends chart real quick, and got this: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=milwaukee+tools,+makita+tools,+dewalt+tools,+ridgid+tools,+bosch+tools&cmpt=q&geo=US People clearly start searching for information about tool brands before the holidays (yup), and Milwaukee seemed to...

Here's a Tekton 1/2 to 3/8 impact adapter for $6: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NPPCKK/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Here's one for going to 3/4: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NQ4R4G/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I haven't used the wrenches, but I've bought a few Tekton items in the last few years and they're all great.

DIYorDIE: No doubt on the additional battery, but the reported performance on the one 4.0 RedLithium M18 battery far exceeds anything I would do in a day. (...and I'd certainly get spares if I thought I was going to be taking on anything larger.) Personally, I think my target starter toolkit for...

So I'm giving the C3 a serious look as a value alternative, and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, because the 6 1/2" saw seems interesting. There's a YouTube video of it cutting a sheet of 1/2" plywood easily. They also have reasonably priced landscaping tools so I could share batteries...
