Dewalt DCF787 20V Cordless 1/4" Brushless Impact Driver 20 Volt MAX Lithium Ion for $55, free ship. This is a Ebay deal but the vendor has solid feedback and keep in mind warranty is probably a non-warranty.

I have one I use on my miter saw a few times per year, it is great to support long pieces and fine tune cuts by easily moving the wood a fraction one way or another to the cut line.

The problem has been solved, I was loading it incorrectly. I did not pay close attention, did a quick read of the manual the other day when it arrived, it all seemed very straightforward. I released the magazine catch, pulled the magazine out, and it appeared you load from the back, the staples...

Thanks to all for the comments. I will take a fresh look in the morning. I was dead tired when I was trouble shooting, never a good idea trying to solve a problem when you are dead tired.

Senco (new) Staple Gun Woes, issue fixed Hello to all, I just purchased a Senco SL150MG, a basic 18 Gauge 1/4" air stapler. The tool will not drive a single staple. I am at a total loss and hope someone has some suggestions. I have the tool hooked up to a Porter Cable air compressor which I...

Thanks to all who commented. Went with Senco. It will be a good addition to the shop for many future projects once the current project is done.

Good day to all, I am putting up a picket fence, a lightweight garden fence, wife says no screws, no nail heads! At a former residence, I tore down an existing picket fence that had the pickets attached with staples, amazingly it was rock solid and the pickets were surprisingly very difficult...

After taking a look at about six cuts (all I made initially), they definitely are not clean cuts, you can see the blade climbed or dipped throughout the cut. I am going to keep the saw for cutting up pallets and other work where accuracy is not critical and I am going to buy a good saw, probably...

Thanks for all the input, will ditch the jig and cut using speed square lines for a guide. Think I found the issue, from a user review (at sears website) of the exact saw I am using; For some reason, the shoe on this saw is mounted to the blade guard Instead of the main body of the saw, so its...

Interesting, I could have been lifting, saw a little burning on the wood after the cut was done and it basically looked normal. The shoe of the circular saw rode on the jig and I was trying to make sure the opposite side of the shoe (top of cut) remained flush against the 4 x 4 timber so I...

So as an update I cut a number of post and it went OK for the most part. I have used a circular saw before, just never to cut 4 x 4 post set in concrete. I first made a test cut using my jig (basically 3/4 ply screwed/glued that fits around 3 sides of the fence post). I cut high on a post just...

Thanks for all the comments. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an obvious better way to do this, going to cut and let them fall.
