    Plastic welder (stapler) recommendation

    I bought the Maddox battery powered one (https://www.harborfreight.com/cordless-hot-stapler-kit-70800.html) and, so far, I really like it. I haven't used it extensively, but when I have used it, it has been solid. It heats up fast, recharges relatively quickly, and it seems to be the same as the...

    Lowes deals/sales/clearance

    Found this Skil tower light on Lowes Deal of the Day. Bought it and tried it out and this is a really well thought out BRIGHT light. It has a warmer yellow tint, kind of like Milwaukee lights. It makes out at 2,500 lumens. It only takes Skil 12v or 20v batteries (which it comes with). You can...

    Ridgid Octane power tool battery compatibility

    Yes they will, but they won't have the same power output as if you used an Octane battery. The differences are not substantial enough to worry about it for normal use. Regular Hyper Lithium batteries work great.

    FYI, check the Advanced Auto Parts website for your local store. I got the MM and SAE Powerbuilt Zeon hex bit sets for around $3.45 a piece on clearance. YMMV

    Forge Battery in M18 Chainsaw

    Just an update for anyone in the same boat as me: I previously used 6ah HO and 8Ah HO M18 batteries in the M18 chainsaw and they did great. The M18 12Ah Forge blows them out of the water. The power difference is insane. We'll worth every penny I'd you are running the M18 16" chainsaw.

    Forge Battery in M18 Chainsaw

    Hey guys, in the wake of Helene, I purchased a Milwaukee M18 Chainsaw to buck some of the fallen trees behind my house. I'm thinking about getting a Forge battery and wanted to get your input: has anyone used a Forge battery in the chainsaw and noticed any increased power? I get that runtime is...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    There seems to be a glitch with the website not doing BOGO's on the tool. Seen it on the forums. Give it some time and I think that it will come back.
