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

    Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks these aren't that great? I have hammered on them for about 3 hrs now, and the tip is getting real chewed up. I also find a super pry bar and a small estwing pry bar/molding remover to be a lot easier to use and get into tight spaces. I bought these thinking I...

    Whoops. Did I buy the wrong type of windows?

    He's right on pricing, I can get the same size in Simonton 5500 for about 160. A MUCH MUCH better window. That window is a pretty basic window with just a half assed Pella name on it, not much in terms of quality. Get good windows once and be done with it. I think people forget to pay themselves...

    Whoops. Did I buy the wrong type of windows?

    We need better pictures, I'm not sure I can even see an integrated J-channel. You might just be confusing the inside of the window as the thickness. An integrated J channel means the window actually comes out farther on the outside, the frame does to hide the end of the vinyly or whatever siding...

    Whoops. Did I buy the wrong type of windows?

    No offense to you intended, but I think you need to do a LOT more research before buying/installing windows. Those are new construction windows like everyone said, but feel free to cut off the nailing flange if you cant use it as a new construction window. Then it becomes a replacement window...

    What's a decent framing nail gun?

    I have the Porter Cable FR350A, a good gun. Keep an eye out to what you're buying, clipped head nailers won't pass code in a lot of places. I decided to go air since most of the time it's there already for other reasons, and I don't need to charge a battery, and then buy fuel cells on top of...

    The drawers are very narrow on this, no depth at all, so I passed.

    SHOW OFF YOUR cordless impact wrenches

    Have th milwaukee 1/2 inch and have to say its done everything I've come across. Did the lift kit on my new gen tundra with that and one battery. I didn't know how much power the 3/8 had or I would buy it it just seems an in the middle size. I have the impact driver, but it doesn't impact the...

    ratchet wrench abuse?

    I guess you guys will never use it to its full potential. I have beaten mine with a hammer quite a few times and almost half the time use an impact behind it. To the idiot that said a ratcheting wrench doesn't make anything go faster is exactly why the old timers can't keep up. Open your minds...

    Milwaukee Impact Driver + 3 XC Batteries-$200

    The Fuel model would be $300 and still give you the same batteries. You can always buy the bare fuel impact which is around $110

    Milwaukee Impact Driver + 3 XC Batteries-$200

    EXCELLENT Deal. I would buy it if I didn't need another impact driver. Read the description, its 3 batteries, the picture only shows one, the impact driver, and the knuckle bit. The cheapest I saw for $200 was last BF with the impact, drill, and 2 skinny batteries with charger for $200. OR just...

    Zinc vs Stainless Anchors

    I assume snow also means salt with it. Your choice, stainless will rust in a hundred to 200 years, but zinc coated can rust in as little as 5-6 years depending on condition. It's just a coating remember that so tHe more scratches and abuse it gets the less likely it will hold up

    Best Miter Saw Stand

    Have the older msuv ridgid. It's nice with the extensions letting you cut 14 ft lengths easily. The newer ones are a tad nicer. Look on cl I found mine for 40 bucks. The bosch seems way nicer since its gravity rise but is pricey.

    ratchet wrench abuse?

    Why have a tool you're afraid of using. You wouldn't carry a gun if you're afraid of shooting it would you?

    ratchet wrench abuse?

    I think it's funny you guys will baby your USA made stuff so you don't get Chinese replacements, but the stuff you do with a Chinese replacement and then complain you wouldn't do with the u.s. use it whatever way you want it. I use mine with an impact on the other side quite frequently. As long...

    Wiss Snips at Lowes

    No the wiss are one step above cheap dollar store ones. Bought two and wore out in no time. Malcolm and Midwest are the brands to get, and make sure you get the offset ones so you're not fighting what you're cutting.
