    Upstate New York Pole Building Recommendations

    I live in the capital region too. Don't have any direct experience as I don't have a building yet. I assume you have seen one of the big ones, Fingerlakes construction.

    Considering two sites for garage - smaller size close to house vs big 400' in back

    I wanted to thank everybody for the feedback. I was surprised to see this post have activity again.

    Let's get right to it: Do I need brushless tools for homeowner use?

    Thanks for the advice, I was unaware the compact 3/8 was 200ft-lbs. Seems like exactly what I could use. For "everything" I just meant automotive, but that is interesting to think to be able to use it as a driver as well.

    Let's get right to it: Do I need brushless tools for homeowner use?

    I wanted to ask a related question (sorry for the threadjack). I've never had an impact wrench and I was wondering if I could use a compact 1/2" impact for everything. Specifically I was looking at the m18 fuel (210 ft-lbs) which features some lower torque modes as well. I was hoping I could...
