Tool addiction

Tool addict here. Bought my first 12v drill about 5 years ago (yep!) and have been in love with ’em since.

Want to buy:

Deward Impact 20v

Milwaukee 3/8 cordless wrench (want this so bad!)

Harbor Freight Demo Hammer

Harbor Freight flux core 120v welder (for small repair jobs as the need may arise)

Welcome to the crew

Are you talking about the 3/8″ ratchet or impact wrench? I have the ratchet and I love it

It’s a great tool, it drives real nice, well balanced, good power to it

Welcome to the crew !!

I was looking for the Milwaukee Dremel, went to HD and Lowes, neither had it. They had the Dremel Dremel, but I’ve actually heard the Dremel brand Dremels don’t last long, I wanted Milwaukee.

Lowes does not carry any Milwaukee products anymore. The Milwaukee M12 rotary tool is ok its nothing amazing either.

Normally I don’t push Dremel, but, Dremel is actually quite good at the rotary tools.  It a fan of their other tools but the rotary tools are actually quite solid!

First off welcome to the crew, secondly I wouldn’t hesitate at all to get the Dremel rotary tool. Great little unit. I have the 4000 and couldn’t be happier.

I have an older dremel xpr 400? Think that’s the model and it’s about 12 years old and still runs fairly well, just needs some brushes but my m12 rotary is the go to

Welcome aboard, I’m not a tool addict I promise lol…

The dremel cordless is the only one I’ve heard of that doesn’t perform as well, other than that, good tools

The M12 rotary tool is probably the least impressive of all of my Milwaukee cordless tools – right there with the M12 ratchets and both of the original LED flashlights – but does work fine.

Wow… I love that little thing, definitely has performed well in everything I’ve asked if it all the way from cutting heads to sanding to grinder discs

One thing about cordless tools: it pays to wait. Much like Smartphones or the tech sector they come out with better stuff all the time, and the stuff you really wanted just gets cheaper as time goes on.

 Ordered on Amazon, I’m a prime member, and the tool won’t get here until at least the 9th!

Got here and I love the tool btw. THe house has “resettled” and now the back porch door deadbolt is no longer sticking. Go figure. My wife thinks it was just the heat.Really strange.

Wait what happened?

.

I have experiences like that at my house because of the humidity, wood is always shifting slightly from humidity changes through the seasons

I love the M12 ratchet. My son drives a 2003 VW Beetle and the M12 makes it so much easier to work on.

Deadbolt is no longer hard to latch into place. For a few weeks in July it was. Heat and humidity maybe?

I had the same issue at my house over the summer. Discovered that the guy who installed my back door only used 10 nails.

Heat and humidity can mess with wood pretty bad. Same thing if its too dry.
