I use a Stihl BR 800x. If battery power can match the performance I’ll gladly make the switch.

What keeps the metal track from moving around on the surface of the plywood/osb while making a cut? Is it clamped down or have some type of rubber bottom?

I just ordered this tool. I already own both 2.0 & 4.0 batteries, I actually prefer 12v tools when available. This will be my first cordless ratchet, hope its a useful tool and not just a gimmick tool that never gets used. I wish I would have had it last week installing step boards on...

Hope they offer a smoot jaw version. Would be nice for when working on brass fittings.

For a store brand tool, that you can just walk in purchase/exchange, & has good overall quality, it’s hard to beat the NAPA Carlyle IMO.

I buy most of my tools from my local Independent Makita dealer (also carries Estwing hand tools) He always meets & most of the time beats the box store & even beats the internet tool stores prices. Occasionally I will buy from Acme Tools & Ebay for odd items or vintage tools no longer in...

One more question about my new compressor. I plan to switch to Amsoil Synthetic oil in this compressor after the break in. Which Weight should I purchase? 1. ISO 46, SAE 20 Or 2. ISO 100, SAE 30/40

I ordered the 1/4 Rolair Noodle from Acme Tools, I think I will also order the 3/8 in the not too distant future. The thing about tools, is there is a place for both I guess. LOL.

Been a Dewalt guy for 20 years, recently switched to Makita and couldn't be happier. I find the Makita 18v & even their 12v tools to be more refined than the other brands. Their battery technology is better also IMO & the Makita chargers are the best in the business. I buy most of my...

Just ordered a small Homeowner use Air Compressor (Makita MAC700) 2.0 HP, 2.6 gallon tank capacity, max pressure 130psi This compressor will be used primarily for 3 things. 1. Inflation of tires 2. Running a small finish/trim nail gun 3. Blowing dust/dirt when cleaning tools, etc. I...

IMO I feel Makita makes the best 12v Tools. They seem to have the bestf power to size ratio not to mention they offer 4.0 amp hour batteries for their 12v tools, along with 1.5, & 2.0amp hour. I’ve recently been selling my Dewalt & making the jump to Makita, I also prefer how they do the 18v...

Just purchased the same identical model a couple of weeks ago. Haven’t got to use it yet , but it seems built well.

One last grinder newbie question, pardon my ignorance. I see some Discs/wheels listed as type 29 & some type 27. What does that refer to? Just want to make sure I order the correct wheel & discs that fit my tool before I place an order. Again sorry for all the pesky questions. Thanks...

Another question I have. The Makita Angle Grinder came with 2 disc, one thin cut off, and one grinding disc, both are 5" size. Most of the flap discs I am finding online are 4.5" size. Will the 4.5" size work on my particular tool? (Makita XAG11Z) Thanks for all the tips and advice.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up on the safety precautions. Will be sure to always wear gloves, eye protection, and Now that I've seen that photo, will wear my Safety shield. Thanks for the tips on blades also. When it comes to flap discs. Are these good for sharpening lawn blades?

Got myself a New Angle grinder (Makita Cordless/Brushless), Never owned one before. Need to stock up on some grinding wheels, and cut off discs. I see cut off discs listing sizes as 5" x 0.032" & 5" x 0.040" Is the 0.032 & 0.040 the thickness of the disc? If Yes, will the thicker...

Where have they all gone? Was looking on ACME tools and I only saw 3. Neither Dewalt, Milwaukee or even Porter Cable had one on the market. And the ones I did find, were not cheap. 1. Bosch - $329 2. Makita - $199 (This is the one I ended up ordering) 3. Festool - $430 The 1/4...
