I haven't tried Milton, but can spit out some alternatives should you need them: What about (IR) ARO? I tend to like SMC. Automation Direct has some good ones too.

They've also stopped sending me good codes. It seems that once you start ordering, they dial back the promos. The best I've gotten has been 10% via email, or 15% of I browse around on a different computer or browser.

15 years later, anyone else remember this promo?

Source? $730M seems like a gross underestimate. SBD 2022 Revenue: $13.3 BILLION TTI 2022 Revenue: $16.9 BILLION Neither company breaks things down by brand in financial reporting. If $730M is an estimate, it's a very bad one; I'm sure Milwaukee contributes more than 4.5% towards TTI's total...

That's what he said. The same exec quoted USA vs import percentages to me when SBD relaunched the Craftsman brand years ago. I like to think they will continue to advocate for USA production. Am I convinced the company is moving in this direction? Not until actions demonstrate their intent.

It is not erroneous. I spoke to the President of Hand Tools this afternoon.

I thought you guys would want to know asap - Craftsman is discontinuing operations at the new Fort Worth Texas factory. From what I was told, tools produced there will be available at existing Craftsman distributors, but I don't have details beyond this. As I understand it, the factory isn't...

https://toolguyd.com/what-will-happen-to-pricing-of-tool-chests-cabinets-combos-and-mobile-workbenches/ Before rising material and freight costs, tariffs forced the redesign of a lot of mobile workbenches and tool cabinets. That's why it's hard to find 18" deep cabinets anymore, because brands...

I vaguely remember buying a set of the Craftsman CrossForce, only to return them due to chrome defects and poor surface finish. When I went to buy a replacement, all of the sets on the peg had similar issues. I don't know how long they were on the market for, but that could be why the Craftsman...

I agree! :giggle:

I thought you guys might appreciate this. =)

Some of the pricier drills have really good chucks that don't slip, and if you want you can swap in your own keyless (or keyed) chuck with some of them. I don't recall seeing any cordless drills with keyed chucks in recent years, aside from the mixers and heavy duty right angle stud/joist drills.

Yes. I use a standard bulb in one opener with no ill effects, and installed a Sylvania bulb to my new opener. I'll be putting one in the other opener when I get the chance. Some brands have compatibility charts, e.g...

If I'll be working in any capacity, no ring. I might eventually look into silicone options though.

I don't know what's going on with the OP's Lowe's store, but Lowe's has been refreshing their cordless displays, and now they're doing the same with Metabo HPT. As far as potential brand or charger shortages, a LOT of brands are having difficulty getting resupplies in a timely manner. I would...

5P71PB1 is also an option if you need more of the filters that come with the painting kit. Your shopping list gives you P95 or P100 for painting, or P100 for dust. If you want P95 for dust, you would need something like the 2071 or 2078 filters. You can use the 2071 with the organic vapor...

*This is not professional advise.* With that kit, you get the 6000-series face mask, 60001 cartridges, 501 retainers, and 5P71 filters. Source: 3m If you want to upgrade to P100 pre-filters, you can, but you need the P100 pre-filters (such as 2091) and a 502 adapter. This allows you to use the...

Thank you very much gayler! Everything is PERFECT! Happy New Year everyone!

One thing to keep in mind is that while XC batteries provide a power boost to some tools, this generally applies to drills but not impact drivers. I would expect for 2.0Ah, CP 3.0Ah, and XC 3.0Ah, XC 4.0Ah, and so forth to provide comparable power to your impact tool. Only runtime should be...
