Every CM power tool I've ever used has always been " not quite right".... the balance is bad or an adjustment is too course or the cord is too short....it's always something. Like others have said they will probably work OK if you want the tool for just one job or some other minimal issue...
I don't even understand the explanation. Does anyone know if this description jives with how Plombs were actually made?
PS - I agree that it is a weld job.
The cardboard box is tossed as fast as I can get it out the door. I am considering tossing all the plastic blow mold cases too. RE: the resale issue - I don't believe I have ever sold a tool.
Truer words were never spoken. Two years ago I replaced my mixed, mongrel screwdrivers with a complete set of PBSwiss and sure love them...just great screwdrivers. However, it was a real ordeal. I ordered from Count On Tools and it seemed like 40% of the items were "back-ordered". I don't get...
Re: Tools for salel, not selling? WTF. ?????
Agree with the other posters. My comments: (1) Price is crazy high (2) Needs to be broken out into logical lots (3) Some of those items should just be tossed.. old, non-SO screwdrivers, putty knives, etc are just junk (4) strip the paint (5) I see...
That I beam looks to be spanning about 16+ feet, so I would be mighty careful with the load I put on it. Also it is hard to stay near the sides... If you back a trailer in with a load you are almost certainly going to be at least 6 feet from a column due to the trailer width.
Agree 100%. I actively search for opportunities to break out my non-powered hand tools. Bit & Brace, Miller Falls #5 Egg beater drill, block plane, or (probably my favorite) the Yankee spiral screwdriver. Really enjoy working with all of the them.
I have no knowledge of the new box options available to a Europe-based buyer, but my gut tells me for $150 used is the way to go. Try ebay, estate sales, classified ads, garage sales, auctions etc..
I have the Bosch and am quite happy with it. Well made, flawless (so far) operation, rolls easily, saw can be taken off in a snap. If I had a complaint it would be that for $300+ there should be a devise for storing the saw cord plus maybe another 25' or 50' of extension cord.
1) Buy a PAIR of sawhorses from Lowes/HD etc. Always have a solid and stable platform for sawing. Don't ever saw using your foot or knee or anything else to support the lumber.
2) Both Bosch and Milwaukee make excellent circular saws. Personally, I use Milwaukee for the standard "sidewinder"...
My family has been in industrial construction for 3 generations . All our drills are Milwaukee. They are used exclusively by union carpenters, ironworkers, pipefitters and the like. We have been perfectly satisfied. Some have to be 40 years old and still run perfectly.
Use mine all the time. Great for drilling pilot holes etc. Own 4 of them: a Milller Falls #2, two Miller Falls #5, and a Miller Falls two speed breast drill.
Could be mistaken but I believe some of the Milwaukee batteries do have a 5 year warranty. The compact batteries are definately 2 years, but the larger/full may have a 5 year warranty. Like I said... I could be wrong, but its worth checking into.
