I wish this were Reddit so I could upvote it. Not a lot to be said here, it's a solid idea that I might just go home and emulate.

So I recently got on board with the 20v Dewalt platform, and I'm having a blast. With that said, living in PA, it's getting kinda chilly here, and I know cold isn't the best for batteries, and I'd like to make mine last for as long as possible. What's the best way to store batteries? I'd rather...

I lit the everliving **** out of my two-car garage (>20,000 lumens and growing), but I keep a clone of the smaller folding rechargable HF light around for stuff I can't put in the garage/need to see something at a weird angle. It's this, but with different colored plastic -- Mine came from Aldi...

I haven't tried, by the time I figured out it was going to be an issue I was already on a roll and didn't want to stop haha. I may take a shot at cutting my own slot, or maybe even just drilling a hole in the top of the hole saw part so I can poke something through and beat the wooden munchkin...

HF Hole saw drill bit kit (the small/cheap one) got the job done, but I'm going to fail it anyway. I wasn't expecting miracles here, but I needed some decently large (~2") holes in a 1x6" piece of wood. Total of 13 holes, diminishing in size but the largest was a little under 2". Kits from...

I've got that Husky 52" bottom, been on the fence about a topper for a while but I'm a little restricted due to the way I set up my garage around it. How do you like the US General? I've been thinking about getting one of the smaller boxes as a replacement for my 26" Husky combo.

I would suggest trying to take advantage of the "Hassle Free" warranty at your local Lowe's, I had a return and took notice of a printed sign facing the register which strongly encouraged taking any Kobalt item and replacing it with a new one from stock, with no questions asked/no hassle. It...

Thanks guys! I'm looking at this kit, my main reason for wanting brushless wasn't so much power but rather removing a wear item (brushes) from the equation. I've never changed brushes on anything though, so it's possible I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.

I'm loving my new Dewalt hammer drill, and picked up an inexpensive drill/battery/charger kit (primarily for the 2x 1.5ah batteries) as well. Now I'm looking for a decent driver. I've got a project coming up that will likely utilize a ton of screws, Tapcon and deck screws primarily. I'd like to...

I think this is a combination of the perception of necessity, as well as the ability to break large costs down into smaller payments. My cell phone was roughly $700, but broken down I'm paying very little monthly, which makes it easy to swallow. When I'm done with the payments, I'll usually hold...

There's definitely a growing divide between the well-to-do and the poor, but I wouldn't say that we "waste" our money on everything else. I'm pretty firmly middle class, and I'm able to indulge a pretty wide array of hobbies. Places like Harbor Freight offer me an inexpensive way to get into a...

I have the Veepeak bluetooth from Amazon and use the Torque Pro app on Android, and have not had any issues. I keep it in the car for a convenient code scanner on the go, and can also read data from the ECU. To what extent do you need the functionality beyond a basic code scanner and the...

Mind if I ask why? My general usage case is screws into wood, or tapcons into block. Typically decking screws with a phillips head and a PH1/PH2 driver (depending), and for the tapcons, I use a 5/16" magnetic driver for the drill and simply run them in. I didn't have any issues with my little...

The wooden one on Amazon has great reviews, and seems like it could be a worthwhile investment -- with that said, I only need the tool hanging aspect, so my garage may go the cut PVC route that others have taken.

This is the big thing to watch out for! My best friend got a Dewalt DCD985 hammerdrill and I fell in love, so I went hunting for a kit to get me started. Well, all the kits offered a lower-end drill, typically paired with a driver (which I didn't care about, after all I've got a drill) and some...

I just got my Daytona long reach low profile last night, and did some preliminary testing. Movement on it seems good, nice and smooth. This thing is heavy though! It's definitely considerably heavier than my Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile, I don't think I'm going to be picking it up anytime soon...

Just got my gift card, not a ton of money but it's something. I never really looked at the prices as "markdowns" or sales, so I'm not super concerned about it, but with coupons I can finally pick up the jack I wanted for roughly a third of the price.

Still waiting on mine, but if it's shipped out by the 7th and I live just a state over in PA, I can't imagine it'll be too much longer. Hoping that it comes by the end of the month, I'd love to take advantage of the coupon on the long reach low profile Daytona jack. I had projected to get...

The Lowe's near me was closing, so I picked up a DCD996B hammerdrill for 20% off(!), and now I need some batteries. I have an 18v circular saw and two drills, so I intend to get the adapter kit with 2x2ah batteries and charger, what else should I pick up? Definitely thinking of getting the...

Is it possible that it's simply because of "close enough" sizes, i.e. where a 13mm can be used on a 1/2" fastener head? Or maybe I misunderstood the OP.
