WTF?! is that an older generation jigsaw, or maybe uk only? that thing looks awesome! is it easy to use? i haven’t seen another one shaped that way.

jeffmcmillanMember since Jun 2015Jul 22, 2015 2:24 PM CT

Rees, does the stanley antivibration actually work or is it just another gimmick? It seems like anything but wood handles tries to vibrate your arm off, but I’ve heard good things about those.

krutonMember since Jun 2015Jul 22, 2015 8:28 PM CT

If it weren’t for the George Foreman I may have very well starved to death in college. That thing cooked more chicken, hot dogs and bologna than anything I habe ever seen before. Thanks George!

I have a george forman grill, hated it, still do. Sucker don’t make hamburgers that taste good, cleanup is only possible with a degreaser like 409. And I don’t like the smell that comes off of it when running. A outdoors charcoal grill is the only way to go IMO. 🙂

Lol yea I use spay 9. I hate that thing

Yes, but an impact gun is really a mechanics tool, mainly used to drive bolts/nuts on/off, and they can stand up to the torque of impacts. However, I would imagine that using an impact gun with a drive bit could possibly damae the screw head or break the screw in half. I am surprised to hear that you had no problems with it. 0.o

actually there are automotive impacts with 3/8″ and 1/2″ drives then the are 1/4″ hex that most are using with woodworking and then some….I know when I’m driving screws in wood the impact is my go to tool…..I find the drill just is not as fast I’m talking about the M18 fuel impact and hammer drill

My tools of the day today:

[External image (i437.photobucket.com), not copied]

Didn’t get any pictures on the job site, was so busy. Had to rip out an old and install an all new deck in a cuddy cabin not to mention work on the motor. Yeah I had to bust out the Chicago Electric oscillating tool, that thing hasn’t let me down yet and I’ve had it for about 2 years. I could tell today though that it’s on it’s last legs. So I am going to be in the market for a new one. Going to start looking hard between the Dewalt 20V, Makita 18V and the Milwaukee M12 oscillating tools.

BremonMember since Dec 2014Jul 26, 2015 10:22 PM CT

Why not M18 if you are looking at other manufacturers 18v lines?

Justin HernandezMember since Apr 2015Jul 26, 2015 11:58 PM CT

I feel that you don’t get much run time with a cordless but if you only use for a few mins a day then go with cordless if you need to use it over 30 mins a day I would go corded

I feel the same way. And def if the the material is more than 1 1/2 material. They eat through batteries. Prolly need a 5 or 6ah to get any good results out of cordless
