    I dunno. Last I've seen is buy one for a 100$, get another for another 100$ HD hasn't even tried to be competitive .

    Knipex locking pliers?

    They are not as good as the vice grips brand. I have both a Knipex and a Grip on: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UHUCAS/?tag=atomicindus08-20 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008U4M0LU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 The release on both will kill ya (or at least try its best to remove flesh)...

    Mower gas storage

    Your supply can should be stored in the most temperate location that you can come up with. Keep in mind that the container breathes. By me in our moist environment, people that deal with condensation issues in their fuel are the ones who keep the containers in small damp sheds or areas outside...

    Putting 1950's steel kitchen cabinets in the shop

    I sit here looking at my kraptastic Lowes cabinets that the previous owner installed and think your cabinets have great potential. It has been like a decade since I've been there, but the Kohler design center in Kohler, WI had this awesome display of Ferrari kitchen cabinets. Beautiful red metal...

    Fabricator 211i for less than $900

    Mine has worked out well, 4-5 years worth. The spool gun works well. I have the pedal and TIG set up too, but it doesn't get used much.

    Dry cut chop metal saw blade angle question

    Back it goes! The way this is assembled, I can't do a thing to change it. I just wanted an opinion that I wasn't being too finicky. It looks to be a nice enough saw otherwise. Thanks all.

    Dry cut chop metal saw blade angle question

    I wanted to bounce this off the board. I bought a 332814 (Rich Power) chop saw from Northern and noted that the blade isn't exactly perpendicular to the table. When I take a small square and measure up towards the arbor- it shows me that the blade is tilted inward by 3 mm or so. I'm on the fence...

    New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it?

    Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? Agree w/ 1233. I have bolts that I install on a regular basis that have an initial torque down value of 50-60#s. This is too slow, too weak in mode one to do anything even close. Both of the 2763s I had anyways...

    New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it?

    Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? A follow up to my last post. Last Thursday I returned the call to the MKE service center and he got an engineer from Brookfield on the phone and we discussed things such as torque and the varying factors that...

    TIG instead of MIG

    I found myself a few months ago really needing to upgrade my equipment. I had previously replaced my old Miller Thunderbolt that had a carrier problem with a CL stick that really was borderline safe. I also had a 110 V Miller mig that just didn't quite cut it. I've never TIG'd before but wanted...

    New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it?

    Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? Update from the MKE service center. They had left a message this afternoon regarding these impacts / mode 1 issue that I had. He said it is normal to be able to hold the socket because it is not under load. I see...

    New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it?

    Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? Received a new replacement tool from MKE after thinking it best to send the original to the repair center. New tool = SSDD. :( Wrote them this time for a new tool to be sent out and an RMA. We'll see. This...

    Battery powered grease guns...

    The M18 gun is a nice gun if you have the M18 tools. It is very powerful , but different to use than the Lincoln pneumatic in the respect that it sounds the same when running out of grease as it does full. So you don't have the rapid pumping at the end to know that you are out. I just got a...

    New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it?

    Re: New Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" impact. Anyone else get one and have problems with it? Glad I saw this thread. Mine worked like a champ on 2, but same no torque on 1. Mine will go to the service center Monday via FEX

    M18 Battery/ charger pack

    The 3.0s run my 2763. I think the biggest noticeable advantage would be on the things that really eat power. IE like the metal saw or grinder when you are really working it. Which I guess you could do w/ the impact if you were hammering on big ag equipment or trucks etc. I'm trying to decide if...
