I am partly making this to prevent me from derailing another topic… But since Dirty loves his jobmax, I figured it might be nice to have a dedicated topic for him to rant and rave about it 😛
Anyways, I am curious if anyone else has toyed with getting the setup or other systems comparable?
And Dirty – what do you find to be the greatest weakness(es) of the jobmax? Are any of the accessories NOT very good? Which are best?
John S
In the category of trying to combine more than one tool together, this caught my eye. One – for trying to combine an impact drill/driver with impact wrench. And two – panasonic… Don’t see many of their tools around, but I am pretty sure they make Hilti’s batteries… Or at least used to…
John S
I was researching oscillating multi-tools today and I read some real hit or miss reviews on the Jobmax. Most seem to hint that it works but its not as refined as a dedicated multi like the Fein or Bosch.
JohnS the weakness would be the fact that i need a tool to change the BurrrrrHead blades. That in itself is not really a big deal because I keep it right with blades and all that stuff lives in a med. size T-Boxx. The med. boxx has a tray on top I keep all the blades for the jigsaw, sanding pads for thr detail sanding head, driver bits ect.ect.ect.+ the allen tool for blade change.
Oh thanks for the thread JohnS

Dirty did you get all of that Jobmax in a huge kit or have you been adding on as you go?
I like the T box setup you have yourself into there.
Jason I started with a sale on HD.com for the 12volt driver and the JobMax, burrrr head and sanding head 2 batterys and charger for 129$ Like I’ve said before when the battery die I just return them to HD for a new one! I’ve had one JobMax tool go out and they exchanged it for a new one no questions asked! I now have 2 cordless ones and a corded one. Then I add on as I go.

That is pretty awesome service – surprisingly so… Ridgid scares me when it comes to getting replacements (batteries mostly), so that is good to hear.
And I just realized you use T-boxx for tough box… man, am I slow!

Sorry bout the T-Boxx John, I sometimes make up things as I go

I sometimes use A box. I get those out behind the liquor store. Some times I only have one box and forced to put my stuff in D box.

haha no no it works great! Shorthand is always helpful, so long as it is understood. And t-box makes total sense for dewalt tough boxes!

Speaking of short hand I bet it would be tough for a newbie to come onto the forum and try and understand some of our threads. I will try to make a an effort to clarify some of my terms here and there 🙂

Love that you are repping the Jobmax on your Profile pic Dirty. While at HD today I did play around with the Jobmax. It has a funky grip on it but I am guessing that’s to accommodate all the weird tools that go on it.

JohnS you’re not on my bad side..LOL It’s just you dislike for Ridgid
I have the same dislike for Ridgid tools It’s just some of them are winners! I have the same dis like for DeWalt tools, that being said I just bought a DW745 table saw. Go figure Lets see if I have any pics of DeWalt tools???
JohnS you’re a lot like me
ps can you see how much the smilies help this post??

Looks like you have plenty of tools Dirty 🙂 haha
Showing off your folding saw (Silky Gomboy) like that makes me wonder what you think of it? I have heard lots of great things about it, and I feel like the fact that it folds up for protecting both the blade and you is a great feature!
John S
Looks like Dirty needs some L-Boxxes for the back of his rig.
I know a guy that raves about the folding saw. He likes it a lot.
Sven? JohnS have you seen Sven around here before?
Well
Hope you will get some snacks and stay a while

Sven? JohnS have you seen Sven around here before?<br>
Well Hope you will get some snacks and stay a while Sven is a recent addition to the forum, but he is definitely of kin in terms of approving l-boxxes 😛 which is awesome!
Does anybody know if the jobmax has any recent developments in terms of new additions to the line? Or upgrades to the batteries, etc?
