I'll confess that I also have a pile of things that I keep adding to so I can make lamps...

Is 12" too long? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072J5RPG1/?tag=atomicindus08-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725ST2V2/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I've had good luck with the regular (2" and 3.5") ImpactX bits and (6") bit holder, these could work for you.

Pretty much anything Knipex makes, but the Pliers Wrench has been a game changer.

Can you post a pick of it out of the box? I was considering grabbing that same driver. Thanks Bill

The chuck on my Makita XPH07 has been great, holds strong, and to my eye has much less runout than my Milwaukee and Dewalt drills, though I don't use it in hammer mode at all.

I love all of my Chappell squares. If you don't need a full size framing square, one of their smaller cabinet makers squares may suit you. I always seem to keep my #34 Gauging Square within easy reach.

I keep a small and large Empire in my job boxes since it won't kill me if I break one or leave one behind; they work well. I also have several from the higher end brands. I have Lufkin and Brown and Sharpe sets that I got for reasonable prices on ebay, but my most prized set is a Starrett. Look...

Looks like I'm in for both of the Norseman deals! Probably some SK too...

Hopefully there will be a knurled option at some point, but these look good. Looking forward to trying them out.

I'm going to agree with Fedwrench, Proto has a reputation for good, durable tools, but when a company produces as many tools as they do, it seems plausible that a ratchet or two could be defective.

Doubt you find one that's still made in the USA, but as for Europe, this is probably as close as you'll get: https://www.kctoolco.com/hazet-2162-2-grease-gun/ Don't know if one made in Czech Rep. is worth 3-4 times what the most common Chinese/Indian models cost.

If you go with Milwaukee get the Fuel version. Much more power and still a good manageable size.

I have the R3 jig and one of the automatic clamps, I would consider that combo to be a very good, multipurpose setup. I just used mine for a quick face frame and 2 shaker style drawer fronts without getting my heavier machines setup.

They still make a version of that saw; they're a fixture for timber framing crews.

That, or keep an eye out on eBay. I've grabbed a couple parts for my Stanley/Bailey planes.

Zeke, I think Festool is the the only brand with their own hole drilling guide, but I believe Makita has a router adapter for their track saw/rail; if I remember correctly, it only works with a couple of their routers. P.S.: You and I have the same preference on routing dados for cabinets.

Maybe, but it's not available in the U.S. so I doubt they'd try to sell you on a table saw that isn't available to you and likely won't be in the future.

Doubt you'll ever see it stocked in stores as it would compete with their Carlyle line, but it would be nice to be able to warranty at another place.

I'll have to see if one of my old coworkers has the tech manuals we used to consult when determining what bolt to recommend for an application (we specialized in structural applications but also sold to general construction and industrial users); if I can track one down, I can give a true...
