    Hole saws to cut ducting holes in siding?

    I use a 4 1/4" hole saw or a 4 1/4" carbide milwaukee bit (the name escapes me, but it's the red one with 3 teeth) for 4" ducts. Just go slow through the vinyl and run the drill backwards to get it started. I sometimes use tin snipe to cut the siding first. For 6" or larger ducts, I usually...

    Noisy ductwork - what about sound deadening material?

    If the noise is from expansion and contraction, then something is preventing the duct from moving. If the supply duct is tight against the joists, you can drop it down a little bit. Make sure the duct hangers aren't pinching the duct, you can spread them apart to allow the duct to grow. If...

    Milwaukee Packout Wall system

    I was looking at it at the store yesterday, and it looks cool, but the price for all the accessories I would need really added up fast. Judging by the responce your getting, I'll buy it on clearance after it gets discontinued.
