The Dewalt non-sliding 12" miter saw looks to be only about $25 more expensive. ...oh heck, it looks like a 12" non-slider will only do a 7.5" cut. Never mind.

Given their return policy, I wouldn't worry about it. They really are good about that. The only problem I would have with ordering this stuff is that the prices are 2x what they were when I ordered few SK sets. They used to be a smoking deal, not so much now.

#2 Phillips screwdriver.

That's what I've got.

My best guess (and worth every penny) is that you'll just see a drop in the need for manual tool use in local repair of any kind. Obviously, the TV and shoe repairman are largely gone, cars will follow eventually. Local repair would consist more and more of simply pulling off a large component...

Given that the interest is simply built into the cost, buying stuff online via a credit card is essentially the same thing as 'interest-free' truck purchase.

That's pretty cool, thanks for posting. You know, I'd probably be interested in that, but the shipping is always too high. You end up with a delivered price of $200+

It's probably made from purest Chinesium.

Lotsa fancy schmancy tire gauges out there, I had no idea. I've had one of these for years and it's been fine. I have no idea if it's better or worse than any other, but it's easy to use

My understanding is that providing specs isn't enough. You need onsite QA or a really strong ability to reject shipments. The constant tendency is to cheapen the product.

Oh well. The OP probably should have asked about Silverados instead. I'm so gobsmacked by reading about the BMW alternator bracket gasket issue that I've got nothing to add.

Interesting thread. My world is full of jargon, but none of it is vulgar. Dunno what the difference is.

That's just what I was going to say. I kind of like the idea of avoiding use of a table saw. It's a bummer that track saws are as expensive as they are.
