Can someone with these 18V brushless tools, such as the circular saw for instance, comment on the grip. Any tool in that family is fine, if you've had it for a while. I'm ignorant to the Milwaukee line and am not sure how long these have been out. I was in HD, with my hand on my wallet to...

I just slipped in Milwaukee quick sand, 12V style. I just picked up the two tool, brushless impact and drill, with free third tool. Perhaps I made a mistake on the third tool, but with the 3/8" ratchet, angle drill, and 6AH battery to choose from, i thought hard about the ratchet. In the...

I have a full compliment of any tool I might need in Ryobi. All home use, not a professional. However, I've been getting sucked in to the Dewalt quicksand, simply with the 20V brushless Impact and drill. They were each $100, with 2 batteries and charger. Better deal than the two tool...

Hopefully I'm not breaking any forum rules. I'm looking for a drill press and found this converted Shop Smith. The guy needs it gone now! I just texted him and it's till available. Maybe you can grab it tomorrow. $100, with a box of accessories and it looks pretty clean. I know how he...

Almost two years ago, I went total Ryobi 18V. There were unique tools that I wanted and the prices on sale were too good to pass up. I haven't regretted it at all. I've always wanted to step up to Milwaukee or Dewalt, but just couldn't justify the cost for DIY purposes. I could buy Ryobi...

I go through phases, binges, and this week was one. I don't "need" anything really, but like to upgrade, etc., when items are on sale and am wondering what to keep. I'm posting two threads, the other Dewalt 20V tools. I picked up the Kobalt ratcheting wrenches at Lowes. These are NOT...

Is Shop Fox also Grizzly? I don't sand much, but is there any downside to Oscillating? The Shop Fox is $195 and 1/2HP. My budget is around $300, but that Baby press might suit my needs, but it's 1/3 HP. Just casual drilling and would like to run through 1/2" steel occasionally. Both DPs go...

Here we go, should I buy a new bench drill press? I know the older presses are better, but I'm getting tired looking. Offerup has some decent ones, but I also think there are more scammers on there than CL. CL has some. Here's what I'm wanting. - casual use, would like to drill through...

Have both, 4 ratchet set, with flex head, brand new in boxes. Can't decide whether to return one set or not. I'm no longer a mechanic, so casual home use and vehicle maintenance.

We have a couple mice in the wall. Fortunately, when I set the dollar store traps outside my house, at the corner of siding where I believe they are entering, I am catching mice and I believe they are from my house and not the yard. I believe they enter through the corner of siding, so I'll...

A relative has a construction business and we had him redo our bathrooms. I came to find out, one of his employees did the shower and it's not working out. The first issue, the grout on the inside corners began falling out, after only a few weeks. He said the employee didn't use the correct...

I went full Ryobi about a year ago. The water pump alone has bailed me out a few times and I'm happy with the set. I had bought several new chargers with it, so I have this P117 that I've used maybe 5 times. Today I recharged some nearly full batteries. It charged the first one fine. When I...

We are placing a 33k BTU wall/floor heater on our garage. Just trying to decide where to place it. Standard 2 car garage. 7.5 foot ceilings Heater won't be left unattended for more than few minutes and only activated by me. CO detectors in garage, basement, 1st and 2nd floor It has a...

We are relocating out shower. My question is, I"m told it's ok to leave the trap in beneath the floor and cement a cover over it. Do we need to remove the trap?

It was semi-emergency, because I'd been milking my 30 year old 3 ton York system and it was still chugging along, but it was get harder to convince the burners to fire and actually produce heat. We had other projects going, so I called our plumber. He had an opening the next day, so stock was...

We all know it's not a good idea to have a gas grill right next to the house, but my bother-in-law's neighbor's driveway is right next to the house. This morning, the neighbor's Jeep exploded and their house caught fire. My BIL helped the neighbor's wife and dogs out of the house. Not a total...

Anyone use the rubber rings, instead of the wax ring? Are they any good? Any brand better than another?

Sounds like a simple diagnosis, but if things were simple I'd actually have a life and not this friggin nightmare of a house. My downstairs powder room and upstairs master bathroom had Gerber toilets, with power flush units when we moved in 15 years ago. Long story short, they are Sloan and...

I have Gerber toilets in the house now and they have the Sloan Flushmaster. Long story short, over 300 tanks have exploded and 14 folks have been injured. It's getting so you can't go to the bathroom in peace :mad: Anyway, my Sloan units were recalled, so they sent me regulators. One works...

It might be too late to ask, but for the first time in my life a contractor has shown up and will take action within 24 hours! I have a crack on our poured foundation wall. House is nearly 30 years old and the crack has been there since we moved in, 15 years. Probably sold to us that way...
