    Are ball bearing slides worth it

    Lol I meant what the slides look like. How do you tell the difference? A google search only turned up phd papers on bearings and tests they did...

    Can't understand the Festool Kool-Aid

    I know you said not to nitpick, but the knipex pliers actually cut more things and are sharper making your life easier. Those snap on drivers will fit perfectly on a rounded screw and help take it out rather than just stripping it altogether.

    Can't understand the Festool Kool-Aid

    Plus if its of such high quality why does milwaukee give you a 5 year warranty and festool gives only a 3 yr? If you're making such high end equipment why not stand behind it more than someone or at least on someone that makes their tools in china. Yea I went over to the festool owners group...

    Can't understand the Festool Kool-Aid

    Totally disagree with you on the miter saw. Yes it's lighter weight because it has a smaller fence and less adjustments, also the blades are only for festool which means you are stuck buying their brand since they made an off size arbor. The milwaukee was rated the best out of all the 12"...

    Are ball bearing slides worth it

    Can someone please SHOW the difference between friction and ball bearing. I know my homak has ball bearings, but I also have two boxes that seem the same expect they slide a little rough. Not sure on the exact difference or how to tell them apart. I know what a ball bearing is so...

    Door not always closing, why?

    Just a little 1/4 nut driver and move it closer to the opening. Try that, it is most likely the problem. Also make sure you didn't hang a little extra on that red pull cord,or the garage door isn't dirty, it might be that it's some dirt or cobweb on the door itself hitting the camera.

    Nail Pops?

    Do you still have the paint you used for the room. You should always keep a little extra handy for touch ups. Pound it back in with a punch and hammer and don't worry about it. Spackle and Paint over it. Yes, usually they put in nails to hold it up temporarily until they can screw it up. Just...

    Corded tool storage

    See, every time I saw those I felt like they would break pretty fast, especially when used on a daily basis. The cable cuffs I mean.

    Can't understand the Festool Kool-Aid

    So I've always bought quality tools like bosch, milwaukee, Hilti, delta, and no dewalt. I buy snap on, Mac, and Matco, Klein, channelocks, etc. I found that different manufacturers often have a few things that they are the best at, and I try to stick to what they make best. What I can't for...

    Got room for a box?

    I definitely thought it would be a lot better built though for some reason. I get that this is the entry level kinda box, but my blue homak in the back I feel has better drawers and slides. I do like the full length drawers tho so I'm not wasting space at the ends. No they aren't double slides...

    Got room for a box?

    You guys knowing these model numbers and all off the top of your head amazes me. Thanks I think I will check the bottom. But it definitely being a snap on makes me feel better. Now just trying to find a space for it in my garage. Thanks for all the help!

    Got room for a box?

    Long story short I saw a snap on box on craigslist, saw it was an hour ago posted but emailed anyway, when I didn't get a call or email back immediately I figured it was gone. Guy called me 3 hrs later saying he had 16 emails, and I was the 8th one but the first one that left a number to call...

    Prime Wire 50ft & 100ft extension cord $6.99 & $9.99

    Yea, I don't know really what you are running with a 16 gauge at 100 ft away. You're definitely going to overheat something there or trip a breaker.

    Anyone cut/polish granite?

    I found some slabs at the local Home Emporium, kinda like a Big Lots for home improvement stuff and they sell granite at $25 a sq ft by the slab. I am thinking about buying it and doing the cutting/installing myself. When I get the cut edges I will need to polish them to the shine. Has anyone...

    Werner 4' fiberglass ladder $29

    Yes the 5 ft one is just that tad too big where you might as well have used your six but for painting and other tasks this one is a better size if you have eight ft ceilings. This is also rated for 260 whereas the hd Black Friday Werner was 225 or 200. That little bit makes a huge difference in...

    Richard (Canadian Made) Pry Bars at Ollie's Bargain Outlet

    The ones I got were the chrome moly ones, I read a post on this thread that someone said these were stronger, but found no evidence on the box or anything.

    Richard (Canadian Made) Pry Bars at Ollie's Bargain Outlet

    It wasn't too bad, but enough for me to have stuck it on the grinder to make it sharp again. I don't think a picture of a freshly sharpened one is going to do you any good. I will take a pic of the other one once it gets chewed up since I bought the set, but I feel I might not really use these...

    Whoops. Did I buy the wrong type of windows?

    Exactly why you shouldn't be installing these windows. I call ******** on there not being any literature available. I learn about 60% of how to do things on the internet/reading/forums. But I TAKE THE TIME to do research, not just make a thread about it asking for other people to do my research...
