OK, found the leaked BF HD Milwaukee items. A few bundles. Mostly non fuel. Most is on pages 11 & 12. Nothing here for me, but maybe for you? https://blackfriday.com/ads/black-friday/home-depot

Black Friday is around the corner. Does Home Depot typically put some deals on Milwaukee for BF?

Fascinated with this find. Never seen anything like. Good find! I have a soft spot for those early "boxed pebble" Protos.

Thanks for the qualified recommendation. The item you mention has 15K reviews with 4.5 stars, so...can't be TOO bad, right?

My previous compressor is 27 years old and still going strong, so...yes, unless I abuse the thing. I have many 110V tools that have lasted several decades. BUT, perhaps the crappification of new products has proceeded apace, so we'll see. The real question is whether or not *I* will still be...

Dad's toolbox he made from a type case. Back when (pre 1960s?) printing still used moveable type, which was stored in cases like this.

Purchased a new Rigid 6-gal pancake compressor last month. Didn't notice until today it has a printed shelf life on it: "Remove Tank from Service in 2032." I bought a disposable compressor? What do you make of this?

There’s something to the “different sizes” theory; I just measured. I have two brands that are handy: Kobalt: .741 in height, 2.370 in length. Lenox Gold: .731 in height, 2.371 in length. Both shake, rattle and roll in any of the three Milwaukee Fastbacks I put them into. And the locking...

Well that's interesting. Thought ute blades were a standard. I need to go throw my calipers on a few. What brand are you using?

I'm not a big fan of the Milwaukees (own what, a half dozen or more?) because the blades do a hula dance in their holders once they've been used a few times. Then those tiny little bent springs that hold the blade will get clogged with dust, and out comes the blade. I'd pay $100 for a decent...

Gratuitous Ute ****...

I do, most days. A decent Spyderco is going to run you $150-$250. I love me some S110V steel, or Z-Wear, or S45V, or SPY27, or...I would love to get a Chaves but I understand that Spyderco is considering (no promise) a folding ute, and I like their design philosophy, so I want to see that play...

I like the blow molded cases for their protection, but I wish they'd let me put a 3.0 high output battery on, and still close the case! Sorry to hear about the theft. For my grinder I make do with one of those Milwaukee red and white canvas zip bags. At least they're labeled "Fuel" so...bragging...

Milwaukee: I need an 18v B-B gun. Pretty please?

I'm in near total agreement here. For me it would be a G-10 scale and a CBBL or Comp Lock, but I would buy the knife you specified above, for sure.

I have to agree with the general tone of the responses: The current folding utes are, on the whole, disappointing. I'm still looking for a good one. I THOUGHT I had found a good one with the Outdoor Edge, but if you cut deeply into something, whatever you're cutting will nudge the blade...

I'm in the middle of an online discussion with Spyderco (the knife company), where they are investigating the idea of making an upscale folding utility knife. What are the main improvements you'd like to see in a folding utility knife, compared to what you own now? I own a dozen folding...

Not really. My short pieces are assigned to other bins (not pictured) where they lie on their sides. But then I have the problem you mention; the stuff on top buries the items at the bottom.

Yes, though I could have done a better job by drilling a few holes into the cart and really anchoring the crates with bolts. As is, there is a strap holding the crates on. Now that you mention it, I'd better screw/glue/clamp something to either side of those front crates so they can't slide to...

Hi all, sorry I haven't checked in for awhile. I have discovered an option for the storage of long tools/materials that's working well for me and my small shop and I wanted to share. As you know, the fundamental rule to happiness in a small shop is "everything on wheels." These are 5 milk...
