    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    Home depot online orders are 30days upon initial order placement date, or pickup ready date depending on location. Some fall back on initial confirmed date even if it takes them multiple days to prepare order. Email and order confirmation are pretty clear on that and tell you the last date...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    Atleast they emailed you that it was canceled. For me I ordered some tools at a store about 75 miles away, 4 m18 fuel combo kits actually. Plus a second order of an m12 fuel kit. All of which my local HD confirmed that store had in stock +1 quantity to account for possible display. I wasnt...

    Water Damage/Flooding (Hurricane Michael)

    Definitely agreed there. Premixed in can is safer for most people that wont be running their saws frequently. Expensive compared to pump gas, but cheap insurance and convenient to fit the quarts into saw bags/boxes. For short trips (2-5 hours) in woods clearing trails typically I just grab a few...

    Water Damage/Flooding (Hurricane Michael)

    One issue will be getting ahold of something with a local servicing dealer. I'm a big fan of Echo, but Stihl always steps up to the plate after large disasters and has tons of trucks and trailers loaded down with saws and mechanics to support the local Stihl dealers. Atleast they have for every...

    Nick Morello the Facebook tool guy has a deal on the M18 Fuel hackzall that is decent. Same guy that has been posted on here a few times with the Facebook groups. 269 for the -21 kit and a free add-on. Probably like most free deals, milwaukee has it running for certain dealers.

    Yep, they are canceling the orders after charging the card. I bought one for myself and one for my dad. Canceled and then saying it's not available until October. Interesting for showing in stock.

    2017 milwaukee power tools deal thread

    The 6.0 kits he had advertised were a mistake and actually shipped with 4.0 batteries. I noticed the comments for the repost. Curious if he made it right or what but most likely not since he advertised the full milwaukee part number that shows only the 4.0. I debated on getting it when shown...

    Sounds like my luck with NTX also..... I agree though on the not prepared. I think he bites off more than he can chew with the online stuff. Hmmm didn't know milwaukee had in stock already but that fits what my local guy told me. Will call him tomorrow and check on mine. My string trimmer...

    Good quality made in USA punch set

    I have Proto roll pin punches I use for gun work pretty heavily. Have only broken 1 roll pin punch in the 8 years or so I've had them. It was a 1/16" trying to help someone out that buggered the roll pin on install and needed it out. Proto replaced it pretty quickly but I bought another for a...

    I was told by the owner of a reputable milwaukee service center about 2 weeks ago that they would be available for order from Milwaukee anytime in next few weeks. No definite date but it would be 1 week or so after that they would arrive. I have a standing order for one and he orders weekly from...

    I use trufuel and VP sef for storage fuels a good bit with great luck. Tune will change a little between it and non ethanol 89-91 but usually a quick adjustment and good to go, atleast on the 2 strokes. A little Sunoco 110 mixed with 91 non ethanol and then pre-mix with amsoil saber is a pretty...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    My dad has one of their basic loop handle red hand trucks, I think 600lb capacity. Has been holding up well for probably 8 years or better moving everything from 150-400lbs. Never anything more than 400 though. It has been slid down the tailgate of trucks atleast a few hundred times with a full...

    Which Garage Door?

    Wayne Dalton has a massive distribution center and sort of factory here locally. Yet Raynor is the more commonly sold and supported hurricane rated garage door here on the gulf coast. I'm very happy with the Raynor insulated and wind load rated. Rock solid and smooth. Not sure what rating you...

    eh the gas smell doesn't bother her. If I came in smelling like assoline, she might be questioning me, though. She's used to that between the Harleys and all the OPE. Would never be able to go electric for a chainsaw being that any summer we could end up needing all the big saws ready to go for...
