Hadn’t posted in a long time. I use 12v Bosch and m18 Milwaukee. I scored this bandsaw on eBay for $148 with the sales tax. It was the bare tool and an 2.5 amp hour battery and charger. I know the bare tool sold on Black Friday for $69. I really didn’t check out the flex closeouts at Lowe’s...

Going to make a raised bed from 4x4s. Ran into rock. Used my big makita hm1214c to break it up. Can the chisel be saved or is it toast? Also the 10 gauge extension cord (50ft) has minor twists in it. It was an Amazon warehouse deal. I think it’s ok. Opinions. The cordless m18 1 3/4 rotary worked...

I’m using a garden auger made my custom augers / and a makita right angle drill to make a 5.75 inch hole to add a deck post. Drill clutch engages when I hit a big rock. Bought a little Bosch dh107 demo hammer. Even using a 24 inch bull point it’s hard to get enough reach when 24 or more inches...

I googled ‘ does Bosch make a cordless ratchet” and found this. I have a bunch of Bosch 10,8/12 volt tools. Always hoped they’d come out with a 12 volt ratchet. In the meantime I use a 1/4 drive ingersol rand and a 1/2 drive aircat. Both pneumatic. I posted cause I never heard of Bosch making...

I should of known better when the 1st 12 inch jet parallel clamp was bowed from zoro. I bought 2 from eBay for 103.09 tax and shipping after I sent zoro one back . That’s slot for a 12. I liked the trigger on clamp. Easy to move on rail. I asked eBay seller only to ship them if they are...

Recently I bought a gedore insulated 17mm nut driver to have on hand in my Ryobi corded right angle drill. I hate using the open wrench that came with it to adjust head so I found a 17mm nut driver that’s way more convenient to use. I also got a wera t15 torx to use with my Festool OF 1010...

I decided to invest in some parallel clamps . I got the 31” Bessey revo at Rockler before Christmas with a 20% off coupon. It was $50.99 - 10.20. $40.79 out the door. The jet was bought from parts buddy on eBay with a 15% off coupon . $78.50 - $11.78 for a total of 66.72. I like the jet...

I ordered one of these on Amazon . 5 year warranty. How’s the build quality ? My 1976 skil 543 3/4 drill is a beast well made. I briefly owned a skil 3x18 Belt sander. Loud and ran rough. Took it back and bought a makita 3x18 belt sander . Skil was bought by Bosch and then was used as a...

Hi all, I got a rotex 90 3 1/2 inch random orbit sander with 2 modes aggressive sanding and fine sanding. Ali can be a detail sander. Bought to sand my deck and glider . In the glider the 3 1/2 pad works great on the slats. Almost took it back cause of a scuff ( thinking it might have been used)...

Hi all, back in June 2004 I bought this Bosch hand power plane. Used it to put a straight edge on lumber. I now use my router table with the offset shims as a joiner. Probably hasn’t been used since 2007. I remember the dust extraction was superb in it. Anyone else have a great tool that sits.

I bought a 1 inch roundover bit to enlarge the 3/4 roundovers on my deck stairs/railings. It barely fit the Bosch 1615 evs 2 5/8 opening( bit was 2 1/2). My table mounted Milwaukee 5625 only goes to 2 1/2 in base but 4 1/2 in table. Cmt said for router table use only. I was ok freehanding it. I...

Bought the entry level Festool vac. Almost bought the fein turbo II as it speced better. Then I read this : https://www.toolboxbuzz.com/head-to-head/best-dust-extractors-head-to-head/. I don’t need all the fancy bells and whistles. The ct 15 has the same power as the more expensive units. I...

My favorite power tool is the router. I have the Bosch 1617 kit, the Bosch 1618 Evs, the Bosch 1611 plunge router, Bosch 7 amp colt, and the Milwaukee 5625-20 in a benchdog table. I just think making profiles and hogging dadoes is fun. When I got my nos 1611 I put a 1 1/2 Freud straight bit in...

Hi all, I scored this router for about $200 with the shipping on eBay. The guy that sold it to me said it was given to him at a trade show. He put it away and never used it. It’s from the late 80s early 90s. Is their anything I need to do to it maintenance wise? I once scored a skil 543 NOS...

I have used made in Taiwan Napa pros for years . They were like $11 or $12 from cripe. I just got my Blackhawks in the mail today for $44.99. I figure a comparison is in order. They are same length and both have flank drive both ends. The Blackhawk is thinner on the open end.

Bought this westward set on eBay. Great price . $61.99. I have used 21,22 and 24mm. Why is a 25mm included. Why not a 19mm? A 27mm? Even a 30mm? https://www.ebay.com/itm/220920497805

Bought a greenlee for 7.99 free shipping eBay . https://www.ebay.com/itm/293431033276 Couldn’t resist . Didn’t really need it but got it. I compared to my Sk g pro. Sk g pro thinner wrench with thinner /smaller box end
