    Well the mid torque kit from Home Depot arrived with a dead battery that won't charge. Any idea on how the process will work? I've contacted Milwaukee CS but no reply yet.

    Anyone build a 2x72 belt grinder?

    so does anyone have a HF Vulcan welder?

    Didn't people have to pay shipping to send back their defective AHP welders? Id rather buy a Vulcan that I can exchange for free than pay to send back a busted welder on my own dime.
