Any early thoughts on Kregs new cutting systems? Looks pretty complete and well thought out design as I have found most of Kreg's products so far. A little pricey https://www.kregtool.com/store/c73/systems/p471/adaptive-cutting-system-master-kit/

Would the Kreg (or other) Precision miter gauge be helpful on a small portable table saw? My concern is it will be too bulky to be of practical use on a small table. Kreg KMS7102 Table Saw Precision Miter Gauge System This is my table which is fantastic for a portable Love to have a big...

Suggestions for small driver kit suitable for computer disassembly I think they are torx fasteners. I have plastic and metal prybars for separating case but seriously lacking in decent quality small drivers. Preferably something made with tool steel and not Chinese soft steel. Thank you in advance

Bought an LED outdoor flood light. Came with a mtg plate that fits on standard round junction boxes but the base of the fixture is 5 inches round, J-boxes are about 4-1/4" leaving too large a gap. So far not a lot of luck finding 5 inch round j-boxes. J-box needs to be surface mounted. Only...

Bought a few of their tools and very satisfied, good CS so far too. K5 pocket hole jig, 2 mobile work centers, saw guides and clamps. Everything is top notch, well thought out design and proved to be extremely useful with a recent project. I used two work centers with a 3/4 plywood sheet as a...

I'll ask the quick question first then elaborate further down. Can I use cheaper materials like pine (softwood) for hidden parts and hardwoods like red oak for visible parts? Pine for hidden sides, backs and top frame, kick panel etc. Will the different wood species work well structurally? I...

I have a Dewalt Lion multi-tool. I read some reviews and the Bosch OSC114C rates high but is discontinued from a 2014 review on toolguyd.com The Dewalt actually rated poorly. Amazon reviews of metal blades also seem to have a lot of negative reviews. I was also have trouble finding a reliable...

Can I run multiple boards through either simultaneously or with staggered time intervals (10 seconds'ish)? These will be 8 foot long and someone at the back end catching and stacking. I need to run through about 75 kiln dried 2x3x8' pine studs down to 1-1/4x2-1/4 with at least 4 passes for each...

I read reviews and all and feel that it's a good choice for me and price is reasonable. Funny thing is I cannot find anything about it on the Dewalt site. I type in model number and description and don't get any bench-top planers. Prominently displayed on Amazon/CPO Outlet etc Any idea why...

I am seeing lots of adds for accessories to attach to your phone to make a tool out of it. Seen bore-scopes, stud finders thermal imaging. My question is do any any of you find any accessories like that really useful in a professional or handyman environment? If so what are you using and what...

Background. Central MA, 24 x 30'ish, 2 story probably Gambrel style. Want reasonably high headroom so thinking 18-24" foundation wall. Most likely one 16' overhead door, 2 three foot entrance doors and couple windows, nothing exotic. I found what seems like a pretty good prefab outfit in PA and...

Which reciprocating multi tool would y'all recommend? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQH1K2Q/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HD4EQTG/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Other? Cost is a factor I have good results with Dewalt in general but the Rockwell "looks" to be better at a lower...

Using high quality tinted oil-based primer (already on). I never buy paint or stains from box stores, only where the pros go. My local True-Value sells a LOT to pros Paint dept manager at True-value recommended solid stain over the oil primer for prevention of peeling over what a paint product...

I am looking at framing nailers (my old box store Porter Cable is dying). The Bosch says it's a 20 degree strip nailer (plastic collated) but only see 21 degree nails available. Hitachi says 21 degree. Is this all just round off of the number or is the difference real? In some research reading...

Due to a change in plans I need to cut some porcelain tile in place for additional wall partitions or have to remove a lot of tiles. Tiles are on concrete. I have three likely tool candidates, a regular style 7-1/4" circular saw, a 7-1/4" worm drive circular saw and an angle grinder to choose...

Which one would be better quality? This one is an ATD with Flexilla hose http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009USFJ4U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 This one a Legacy product http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029XOV56/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Also looking at Reelcraft but I really like the idea of the Flexilla hose. I...

Hey folks, looking to make a purchase for a good Battery/Starting System/Charging system tester for home use. I have about 5 cars, a motorcycle and a lawn tractor to maintain. Expect to use this a couple times a year not heavy duty use like a shop and would like quick dependable and...

I have a small Smith and Wesson LED flashlight the uses three AAA batteries in a magazine. Metal case, O-ring sealed, well made little unit. I have replaced batteries a number of times before and NEVER had an issue. Even with el-cheapo batteries. Have had the flashlight for maybe 8-10 years...

I bought one used for a tile project with stand and an add on Dewalt blade. I think the saw did a very nice job cutting porcelain and ceramic floor tiles. This is not a professional quality saw but to buy one used in good condition is quite a bargain for a homeowner project. The clamping works...
