OnTrack is terrible, I've hated them for years. I had a delivery come for a tool/battery promo and I got the tool with no battery. HD chat resolved the issue but it had to be done during business hours. I told HD I have video of the delivery driver only dropping off 1 package and I was happy...

ACME Tools has a 15% off select Milwaukee tools going today/tomorrow. The code is 15SALE: https://www.acmetools.com/all/?pmid=26b057_milwaukee_15off Promo DOES include the new M18 larger job site fan. I know some people were looking for a deal on that thing. Not sure what else is part of the...

I love mine but they **** with the larger amp hour batteries. The low battery warning is at a percentage or something so it starts flashing with the 12.0 WAY sooner than it needs to. The 5.0 battery is what that light seems to be calibrated for. When it flashes using a 5.0 battery, it really...

The only thing about that kit is it requires a pressurized water source where as the Kobalt fan will just pump it out of a 5 gallon bucket. A M18 to Kobalt tool adapter is like 20 bux. I haven't tried it with a fan but I feel like this might be the easier route? The misting kit is cool though.

Lowes sells a Kobalt fan thats sits on top of a 5 gallon bucket that does water misting. Maybe get that plus an M18 adapter? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-7-in-3-Speed-Indoor-Outdoor-Misting-Stand-Fan/1003002600

I'm warranting a battery for the first time. The instructions say the battery needs to be in a sealed bag? Does anyone know what kind of bag? Can I use a ziplock or is there some special bag I need to use?

Mr. Subaru just posted a video of the new M18 "air" hammer. Looks like it hits pretty good according to him:

Freaked me out the first time I used a quick collet because none of my Milwaukee gear has one. I pressed the release and the bit shot off into a low earth orbit and I was like WTF? I think it was a friend's DeWalt? Anyway, I 100% get the frustration with 1 handed operation. When I'm...

Nice score on the free sawzall. It will probably actually do just fine, I just wouldn't run it with the 3.0 batteries. Probably want a 5.0 or larger for runtime. I have a Ryobi version that I used to cut some bushing cups on a control arm and those 3.0 batteries barely made it through 1.5...

Did you just use like say 1.5" or 2" long 3/8" lag bolts to mount the Branick the 2x6 boards? I probably was overthinking this, you guys are probably right, the amount of stress on the wall is probably not much more than the dead hanging weight of the unit even when using it.

Welp, my the hose on my 0880 vac finally broke today, but much like Madisynn with 2 Ns and a Y, its not where you'd think. Instead of breaking right next to where it goes into the body of the vac which has been deformed FOREVER or breaking right at the connection to the nozzle, it broke about...

OK so I did a little searching around and I also read the Branick manual for the 7200. The manual say use 3/8" bolts to mount the assembly. I have 2 questions. How long should the 3/8" lag bolts or carriage bolt be if I'm going to mount them into wood and how large of a piece of wood do I...

This is a bitchen idea, never would have thought of it.

Well I'll be damned, maybe unistrut is the way to go: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267224341480 Probably will cost more than I paid for the cabinet by the time I'm done with it but it will be super cool....

I was thinking of going vertical but did not think of pulleys and a counter weight. That's a good idea. I wonder if I could just put it on a track and I could push it straight up when I need it out of the way. I think I could dodge the ladder I have above if I built it right. Ya, I've burned...

I am dumb, upsetting means installing, not removing. This makes perfect sense now lol.

For rivets, wouldn't an air hammer be more likely to mar the surface you are working on than using a twist drill on the head? Maybe I'm just using it wrong or something, I've never had success with them. Not to be too skeptical but I'd wait to see what the TTC review looks like. It might be a...

An air hammer is a tool I just never learned to use. I've tried them out with no success, then again they weren't the best ones out there. I've always done the job other ways. People swear by them for bushing removal but I stick to a sawzall if I have to go that route to get a bushing out...

Is it actually an air hammer or a mechanical hammer that hits like an air hammer? This is an "air" hammer right?

Most of my wall space is used up. I do have another opportunity for reclaiming some space but it will involve a fair amount of effort in disposing of some old equipment that I'm not quite ready to get rid of just yet. The M18 stuff is there because that is where a gap happened to be, It will...
