Interesting, as I was planning on picking up a second ratchet (already have a non fuel) and if the non fuel is substantially smaller than the fuel I’ll pocket the savings then

Wasn’t there some thing with the fuel ratchets being inferior to the non fuel ones? Something about the torque cutouts?

Kind of difficult to find it in stores, as im in Australia. In the States for 9 days next fortnight though. I ended up ordering it from Acme Tools. They were decent with the stubby order, so hopefully will come through quickly for shipping to a mate in IL to bring down to the conference we are...

Ah, didnt see that in the cart. Frustratingly its now out of stock online again... anyone know if there are other retailers doing the same deal still?

Anyone know whether the bonus 5AH battery will still be going early in November at HD? This deal: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-4-1-2-in-5-in-Grinder-with-Paddle-Switch-with-Free-M18-5-0Ah-Battery-2780-20-48-11-1850/305907383 Debating...

Which store, ill come see you ;)

Lol, but no space to be able to actually work on the car ;) The back wall in that garage is actually a floating stud wall that is wedged and clamped in place. it isnt structural in any way. The next place is a full garage, so will be conducive to a better layout. Thinking about enclosing some...

Right, so all of this is about to be moved again, but here is where we got to: Moving to another place nearby with an almost identical garage (except this time i dont have to build a wall). Any suggestions on garage layout?

Being forced to move again (landlords selling our place), means I have to setup a new garage again. But this time i want to do some thinking about how it is laid out, rather than just shoving stuff in there. My current garage is pretty cramped at roughly 6x6m, and the new garage will be...

Ah darn. Anyone use the paddle switch one with fiddly stuff like tight radius exhaust and aluminium bends? I bought another paddle switch grinder but returned it as the switch was so far from the head that it made it hard to use.

Can someone confirm for me whether the M18 Fuel angle grinder currently on the extra 5Ah battery deal at Home Depot has a switch lock? Here in Australia its hard to get cordless ones with a switch lock, but that could be our OH&S silliness. Hoping that it is easy for some more delicate work...

From ACME? Mine was supposedly delivered to my dropbox last week, but no sign of it :(

How does the Tekton gear compare with the Sunex stuff, we don't get either brand here? Both seem to be a similar price point, and both tons cheaper than the equivalent here in Australia.

I wish I was metric only, have only one set of SAE stuff, and that is just because it came with the metric gear as a full set. Boy do I have a lot of Whitworth gear though. Rarely sees the light of day, but damned if I’m going to buy it all again if I ever get British-fever again.

Anyone use the Dymo Heatshrink in D1 cartridges with a Dymo Labelmanager PnP? The PnP takes D1 cartridges, and is USB powered, so makes life much easier when labelling heaps of stuff.

Anyone use their M18 portabandsaw for cutting 1.6mm stainless tubing? How does it go?

Yeah. Quite a few at my local Bunnings. If you are having no luck by November I’m happy to bring some over when I head stateside. (Or if you are happy to wait until then)

Any 3/8s shipping so far? Or just hte 1/2s?

Ah. Fair enough, wasn’t sure how the kits worked there. Over here some tool sellers will let you break up the kits or replace tools, and I saw people quoting their receipts which showed some refund amounts etc. Oh well, probably just get skin only or see what they are doing in November on deals.

Yeah, my Facebook is getting invaded by Atlas46 ads, and now im considering the normal Yorktown for exactly the same reason.
