Nice, thanks for the heads-up!

You're welcome, and thanks! Made it myself! I bought a Jet DC-1100VX-CK, although I haven't been able to use it as much as I'd like. That's not my ideal dust collector, but I figured it's a good start, and it works on a 15A outlet. Its power draw is rated at 11A. Bigger and better systems...

The largest Milwaukee set usually goes on sale during the winter holidays. Should cover all your bases and then some.

A separate 15A circuit at the least. If you have the option, 20A. You will NOT be able to run your saw and a dust collector on the same circuit.

They went from 10.8V to 12V Max back in mid-2011. Technically the 18V X2 tools are part of the LXT system, as they refer to it as LXT X2 on their website. I'm not sure users will want to pay a premium for X2 if the 40V Max tools offer more performance with less weight. So far they're saying...

We had one once, for a grad school apartment that had bad AC performance and no ability to add a window unit. It didn't cool things down very well at all. $500 on adjustable fans, or fans and a dehumidifer would have been a better buy.

I don't remember exactly, but I believe it has to do with the blade not retracting for the table saw part, or maybe the guarding. Basically, the saws fail some part of typical safety guidelines for table saws (or miter saws or both).

Safety regulations. Due to their inherent designs, they don't meet US safety guidelines.

Channellock Proto Klein You'll find that bigger brands don't make all their tools here. I try to keep a section on ToolGuyd with news or reviews on USA-made tools. https://toolguyd.com/category/made-in-usa/ I'm sure there others.

Peer review. When challenging/correcting inaccurate facts or contested opinions, evidence - either experiential or 3rd party source - should be used as support.

Craftsman has them in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes. https://toolguyd.com/new-craftsman-swivel-head-ratchets/ As you mentioned, Snap-on and Titan only have 1/4" and 3/8" as well. it's curious why none of the brands have all-metal ratchets in 1/2" sizing.

I've seen this before for specific 3M products. It could be more about pricing or a dealer arrangement with 3M. Other sites, such as MSC, don't have checkboxes or other purchasing requirements, but you also can't find that specific model on Home Depot or other consumer sites that carry 3M's...

Hold onto it for 3 months and stretch it out on promo deals? The Dewalt Xtreme 12V drills and driver kits dropped to $99 recently...

Shipping has been reasonable for me. I've heard you can request quotes, but I've never been shocked at shipping fees, even on 4' or 6' rods, 24" x 24" plastic sheets, and large stuff like that. There is a gotcha, although I don't know if it still applies. If you add something to your order and...

Never been more true. But I should also point out that it is incredibly time consuming to stop work to get "action" video. The ones that make it look easy are incredibly talented and/or hard-working. As far as good YouTubers go, I think Doresoom deserves some attention -...

I ordered a Woodpeckers setup and have been pretty happy with it, although at some point I want to update the base for better dust collection and storage.

+1 for Channellock/Irega. There are some other decent brands too, but Channellock's are my favorite.

Re: 2019 New Milwaukee Products! Slightly redesigned for added strength and mounting to vans and other mobile vehicles.

There are a couple of good ones, I like Uvex Flex-Seal best.
