Carpenter with 30 yr of hand driving and using nailguns. Building inspector for the last 10 years. Hardly ever seen full head framers used around here. I used one one time for 1/2 day (loaner) and that was enough for me. Hit with hot plastic **** wasn't for me.

I'd say his use will be way more than a typical homeowner. For sure won't be buying anything craftsman.

He is not big on anything cordless/gas less except for a drill/driver and maybe a worklight. Looked at the ryobi stuff and it looks cheap made to me.

His current drill is not lit-ion

Yes, that's the one.

My dad spent his working life as a skilled union carpenter. So he is used to a certain level of quality and proformance in his tools. He still does a lot of cabinet building and projects. I think he is currently running a hitachi 12v. I have used it a few times and it doesn't compare to my...

Thinking of getting my dad a new cordless drill for father's day. In the past I've always bought contractor grade stuff. Not sure if he really needs that level or not. He does use it a few times a week. Any suggestions?

1/4 is hard to find.

Detroit? ....let's see.... I'm pretty sure one of these stores is coming soon. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Rf81HtlpKq8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It even doubles as a cooling rack for deer salami after it comes out of the smoker. Here it is with 60#'s hanging off it.

Here's my petty addition. Wasted space above my garage window. A 1x6 with a door stop added around it, added a couple of brackets, and nailed it to top of window casing. It holds a ton of stuff.

It's a Viega press system. Approved for concealed locations.

We call it a hose clamp on this side of the pond.

They make 0 start,-20 start, and -22 start. I don't use the 0 rated ones. Also, order a few extra ballasts. Reguardless of price, none of the elec ballast have a long life from what I have seen.

I've used the epoxy capsule type anchors a lot(Hammer Capsule). Never had a failure. Key is make sure the hole is preped correctly. Simpson has anything you need. Just choose a system that works and is at the price point you want. You can also order direct from them...

Spare parts should be part of the order negotiations. You don't need whole extra units....just boards and such. I have seen group buys on like equipment when they sent extra stuff like that with the order.

I'm pretty sure this will come in at a little less than 100 units. To those guys talking of picking up unit for a few guys in their area, you might consider fastenals shipping option.

Those are good hd fixtures. As others have said, get some cold weather t8 cold weather electronic ballasts. They come up cheap on ebay.
