Excess cases and chargers? What do y'all do with your excess cases and chargers when you are forced to buy the kit when the bare tool is not available? Hate to just throw them in the trash but I'm getting to that point.

Milwaukee... we know you're listening. We need a leaf and twig vacuum with a replaceable metal impeller to shred the leaves and small twigs (3/8" or less diameter). Backpack design with hanging bag for the shred and handheld suction hose. Powered by two 18V like just like the dual-battery...

@Milwaukee - posting again… once a year until it works :) We need an outdoor leaf and twig vacuum, with a steel impeller to pulverize leaves and small twigs. Backpack would be ideal. Two-battery format also ok. Think of something useful for cleaning a driveway or sidewalk on a fall day when...

Looks like a fantastic space Jeff.... can't wait to see it all finished out.

BANDSAW DILEMMA: I have an old, Harbor Freight stand-mounted bandsaw. It was cheap and had two speeds; one for metal and one for wood. That's the extent of the good points. It's never really worked right and throws the saw band frequently. It needs to go. I don't really need a portable...

Thanks for the update ConCretin! You're welcome back to your own thread at any time!! :giggle:

I have and use Rhino Ramps for oil changes. No issues for crossovers or SUVs. On my 2016 Honda Civic, the ramp angle is a little too steep and the lower bumper hits before the wheel starts to climb. Made a set of wooden approach ramps to extend the Rhinos for lower cars.

Actually, yes, I have. This is strictly for driveway use, not on the lawn. I have a corded leaf/twig vacuum on wheels now. It works just OK, but is a pain to use. I have an M18 blower but most of the time I‘m not interested in scattering leaves, I want to actually pick them up off the ground...

Another Fall has come and almost gone and still no leaf and twig vacuum from Big Red. Sigh.

Thanks everyone. I was not aware... guess I should have read the instruction manual. :geek:

Used my M12 Fuel die grinder today and the shaft of the working bit got stuck in the collet. Got the collet as loose as it will go but cannot pull out the bit. Any great ideas? Thanks.

Don, I totally understand why you would not want kids at the BPG when there is an event there. On the other hand, your collection represents a fantastic slice of history that the younger generations desperately need to know about. Have you ever considered hosting educational events designed...

Don, I'm sure I've said this before, but you are a machine!

Yes, it might... it depends upon the specifics of the situation. I have seen a 12V compressor used to seat a tire. It took pouring some water on the bead and pulling the tire onto the bead. But I wouldn't count on it always working.

Went off-roading over the Christmas break and threw the M18 Hatchet in the back of the truck to clear fallen branches off the trail. Only needed it once and it worked great. Still haven't had a chance to use it around the yard but it seems like it will be up for anything I would need. I have...
