Hmm, Ive been wanting to upgrade from my basic HF 6" calipers. This might be the one thing that gets me.

That ord box is beef! Me likey!

If you are tightening something with flats then Ill second the plierswrench with its parallel jaws. Otherwise the bicycle inner tube offers good protection and sufficient grip.

I just came here to see if anyone is running this new XSB01 sander. Any of you guys running it yet?

Bumbing this old thread for some longer term input. Hows the brake been holding up for you guys? Any issues? Im getting ready to order one and thinking im going to go with the Heavy Duty finger brake.

Thanks, I grabbed them for $5.12. Ill find somewhere for them to go!

Bishop tools on eBay is always a good dealer to look at for pricing on Makita stuff. He always seemed to be real quick at getting the new tools up too.

I’ve been rather pleased with my Makita track saw I picked up on sale at HD. Been wanting it for a long time and finally bit at this price!

I too would like to hear your thoughts on that bench tester? $40 seems too good!?

I use those little guys all the time! Pairs nicely with the TD170. And actually Makitas impact socket sets are quite nice too which include the adapter for ~$15.

Yes, thank you Lefty!

Makita is committed to there batteries, they've been using the same style for longer than anyone I think and they have a bus load of tools to choose from that are all powered by the same batteries. The 36v tools seem to be getting a lot of development attention lately and It seems like they are...

I have a little bar like that from Dasco, I use it to manipulate base boad and casing while installing. Great for aligning corners/joints.

awesome thanks for that! Just bought 6 quarts for an oil change.

Notlob is correct. The 4" HF freebies are easy to knock the magnets off of. And there are still free coupons for them, I actually just picked one up this morning.
