Nuts, I see that too.

What's odd is that if you change the .ca to .com, to show the Amazon listing for the same ASIN number, one goes to $325 USD, and the other $320 USD. Something seems fishy, but at the same time it also looks legit. It says "temporarily out of stock," but there are times when that turns into...

Looks the same to me too.

I think you made a good choice. If you were asking, I would have recommended the Bosch or Fein StarLock tools, which are kitted for $150-200. But for the money, the Dremel is good. There's also the MM40, which is a little less powerful than the MM45, which is only available at certain...

Loctite for small fasteners, 222MS, purple-color, has lower break-free strength. 243 is for "light oil contamination" and fasteners in same size range as 242. Red should be worth a try, just make sure you have a good straight hex key or driver should you need to break them free. I've removed...

Looking at a few older forum threads that a deep Google search can turn up, the consensus is that no, it's not a good idea, but I haven't heard or read about anyone trying. I'd say no, it's probably not a good idea. What's causing the small screws to come loose? Maybe there's something else...

It should; I don't see why not, but I couldn't guarantee it. The stuff McMaster carries has an acrylic-type adhesive. Theres's higher bond-strength stuff too, if necessary. The surface might need to be cleaned, maybe lightly sanded and then tack-clothed. Films and banding typically holds well...

Another option would be to have a smooth, straight, and rigid substrate material, such as aluminum, and apply adhesive-backed UMHW tape. The top surface is just as slick and low-friction as solid stock. If you get 1" x 1/4" wide stock, you might get pieces cut from sheet stock, with potentially...

Looks great! Is that paint or powdercoat?

I like Ikea butcher blocks, or at least I have, they change every now and then, but I don't have a clue as to where they're made or who makes them. Ikea does have some USA-made products, but I don't remember reading about where any of them (butcher blocks included) are sourced from. I don't...

Just one? It'd be a utility knife then, non-folding handle, retractable mechanism.

Are any other of their wrenches made in the USA?

I have always believed that to be a demand issue. If 20 hammer drill and impact combos are purchased for every 1 drill and impact combo, it's not going to be very cost-effective, and retailers might not care for the slow moving inventory. There's a slight price difference between drills and...

For what it's worth, I think they've been very aggressive with their pricing. An M18 Fuel Gen 3 hammer drill kit is $299. But so is the holiday season drill + impact combo kit and Packout tool box combo. Or, for other configurations, you buy a new tool and you get an extra battery. I don't...

Part of it is keeping on-par or ahead of the competition, part of it is a natural progression. Buy a phone this year, and next year's is going to be better. The same is true with cameras, computer processors, TVs, and so forth. Even cars. Yes, it hurts, but the way I rationalize it, I'd rather...

Retro 51?

Nite Ize conversion kits are still available. But, a quick search shows that new Maglite LED flashlights are brighter, and in some cases a lot brighter. You might just want to put the same money into a new flashlight.

I didn't notice that, but you're right! The speeds are similar but not exact. The 2902 is shorter in length. I really don't think that it's the same internally; enough time has passed that it probably wouldn't be cost-effective to still be producing the Gen 1 Fuel motor. There have been...

Also, the 2801 is "compact brushless," with 500 in-lbs max torque, and the 2902 is "brushless," with 725 in-lbs max torque. The "brushless" hammer drill is 1/2" longer, weighs 1/2 pound more, and comes with an aux handle.

I had a conversation with the cordless product manager at NPS18, discussing their choice of having a hammer drill and drill at the M18 Fuel level, a hammer drill only at the slightly lower brushless level, and a drill only at the compact brushless level. I mentioned not liking hammer drills in...
