    wow, sounds like my house... but my daughter is 4! we have a detached 2.5 car garage. i told my wife that i would make room in the garage during the winter so her car wouldn't get snowed on (really, it just made it easier to shovel the drive). when it starts to warm up, her car is back on the...

    hammer drill vs. impact

    I've seen a lot of pictures on here of people with ratcheting drills and no (noticeable) hammer drills. what is the difference between them? i see there are bits that are "impact ready", but none state "hammer drill ready" so i presume there is a noticeable difference between the purposes.
