Yes, the 'gun'-type is the kit I'm referring to.

I do not have a solder kit yet. Don't want to make any mistakes purchasing....... so, is there a kit that you recommend????? Much appreciated!

Well, I went to HD and Lowes to check out some of these newer models in person. I wanted to 'get my hands on' a few of them. Although out of my price range, I was BLOWN AWAY at how light the Makita LXT model was. It was the 1/2" LXT (Black & White (not the green & black hammer drill 1/2" on...

Looks like a cool "accessory tool" christmas gift. Anyone have one? How does it perform? Good torque? Could it drive a 2" screw into a 2x4? How about a 3" screw? http://www.skilshop.com/cordless_tools/screwdrivers/2336-01.html Much appreciated!

Thanks everyone. Some really good information here. This Makita drill looks very good at 3.5 lbs. and 3.0 ah battery. However, I can't find it anywhere on the net for retail?????????????? Anybody????? Makita LXT BDF440 Anyone know the relative price and where I can find it????

I saw this too: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/BOS-32614-2G.html Yup, it's already OUT OF my price range, but is it THAT MUCH better????

I want to buy a 3/8" cordless drill for my dad for christmas. I want to keep the price at $150 or less. Some key points I'm looking for: - Light weight. 12v to 14.4v My Dad is 70 and just likes to putter around the house. The lighter the better, however if a 14.4v is that much better...

Great info everyone. VERY much appreciated!

Oh, my door is 16' wide and 7' tall and solid (wood-composit) = HEAVY. My neighbor (engineer) thinks I should go with a 3/4 HP unit next time.

My LiftMaster is toast. After 17 years, and 2 gears changes I can't complain. It was a 1/2 HP chain-drive unit. I'm looking at trying something else. - Possibly Wayne-Dalton, but not sure of the extra cost and the fact that I've probably have to move power/electrical outlet to the new...

Yup, my jack from HF is a piece of junk too. I wish I could get an AC Hydraulics jack. I've always thought they were too expensive........... but now I see the importance of a high quality jack. Especially on a lowered car! If you can, skip the Sears model and get an AC Hydraulics jack!!!!!!

Not a big one, but it's perfect for my needs.

.................. and you would be correct Sir! KB would be the best choice over all others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will have a PM regarding mustangs (your knowledge) within the next day or so.............. Need your advice!!!!!!!!!! Much appreciated.

Great advice. Stihl was also on my list. The Stihl dealer on Jackson Rd. leaving Ann Arbor is "Larry's Mower Shop." Got my snow blower from him. They also have a full service shop for tractors, mowers, chain saws, snow blowers, etc. etc. Much appreciated!
