About to refinish red oak flooring that is about 20 years old, also weaving in the living room, that is currently carpet. We are looking for a lighter color, grey/whatever is in style nowadays. We have heard that we can add some green dye to lighten it up. Have seen some Pinterest builds where...

I have a dewalt pancake for my nail guns and it struggles to keep up. I used it once or twice with my impact and it wasn’t the best. Not sure how it would act with an air hammer. I just glanced at 20 gallon compressors online and saw an ingersoll garage mate. Going to keep looking but right...

That husky looks pretty good. That is certainly an option. While I don’t use air hammers and my impact much, like previously stated, if I need them then I really need them and nothing else will do. I looked at some compressors last time I was in northern tool but they might be a little...

I have search and gotten a lot of answers and learned a lot. However, nothing has pointed me in the direction I want to go. Like most people I use cordless for the majority of work I do (99% automotive). But when I need my 1/2 impact or air hammer I need air. And so far I haven’t seen a good...

It did get cold in Ohio but nothing like this. Mid Jan/early feb would get highs around freezing. The Ohio river valley blocked a lot of cold and snow. Just an hour or so north would be completely different weather. But yes, the box was in a climate controlled shop. I suppose I need to get...

Thanks guys. I had to work on something the other day and there is nothing like cold hands and metal wrenches. At least I didn’t slip off a bolt and punch the chassis. This weather is something else. Only 5 more months I hear... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently moved to Minneapolis and this will be my first winter here. I previously worked in a dealership further south so my box and tools were always in somewhat of a climate controlled environment. Is there anything I should know/prep for when the temps start dropping? It has been in the...

I visited a friend the other day and he showed me his scanner, the matco maxme. He said it is a real good scanner for the price. I have googled as much as I can and cannot find any information on this scanner. There are a few review videos but nothing from matco or launch. Anyone have info on...

It sure does. Silly me, one would think a grown *** man could read/figure that out. Works like I expected it to now. Lots of power Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. I'll text out the 3rd setting and see how it goes. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Setting? As in 1-3? Had it on 3. And also put it on the screw icon, like setting 4? I suppose. The battery is red lithium m18 2.0. The battery works fine with my impact so I don't think that is the problem, unless this new impact driver was designed with using a different battery? Sent from...

I just ordered one of these and received it a few days ago. I had to run some screws into some studs in my garage to hang something. This thing is a dud. I was surprised. It struggles just to run a screw into studs. I have other Milwaukee cordless tools, including a 3/8 drive impact and it is...

I thought about doing that but I would assume I some control would be lost since with the chuck adapter there is a regular bit but there would still be slack in the anvil portion itself. Since it is a rotary hammer even with the drill only mode I would think it would still have play. But I have...

I will need it for drilling into concrete to anchor a deck on my house. I only have a skill battery drill, which is fine for household duty. My father is retired and drew up the plans and has all the tools I could need to build the deck. I am a mechanic, and a member of gj, so I am addicted to...

I have been thinking about purchasing this hammer drill but after reading some reviews it seems that the chuck will not hold the bit. Have they fixed this problem? Does anyone have any experience with this drill? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
