    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    The rigid model that the surge is based off of suffered the same fate under AVE. Anytime you use hydraulics and you change the fluid you run the risk of not matching the properties correctly and changing the dynamics of the tool. Sean

    Welding helmet thoughts

    Something that may factor in is that the miller stuff is running a $50 rebate on helmets, and a $100 on gear. I filled out the forms yesterday and they appeared to stack when I looked at the confirmation stuff. I bought a digital infinity, a set of gloves and a spool of hobart wire for like...

    Its less about pulling away more about keeping it from kinking or pinching at the joint. The plate keeps the open section from crushing on the cut lines. Sean Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    rattle_snake's random shop projects v0.1

    That is the correct way to do miter joints per numerous structural manuals. It keeps the joint from stretching out when its loaded. I will try and find the reference manual I have that shows it. Basically you miter the tube like normal but between the two mitered tubes you put a flat plate...

    To add to that, you really need bigger batteries in it than the "Free" 2.0s. It will chew through those in less than 10ish minutes if you leave it hot and use it. Sean

    Porter Cable 20v Tools, Chargers, and Batteries

    Just got the last m18 tool to replace my faithful Porter Cable 20v Max set. These tools have served me well for the last few years but I managed to get a good deal on a few of the heavier duty m18 tools that Porter Cable does not make and ended up swapping over. I have the following tools...

    Just a heads up, the $159 fuel grinder with paddle switch shows up on the cpo 2 5.0 xc battery deal but is not picked up by the promo. I ended up calling them and they are supposed to be shipping the batteries along with the other things I ordered. Sean Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    2019 Lowe's deals/sales/clearance thread

    Just an FYI, that charcoal consistently has rocks/ chunks of clay in it. I have had 3ish bags and each time I have pulled some big lumps out of my grill. Realistically it probably doesn't matter but I wanted to mention it as I have not had the same experience with Royal Oak. Sean
