I was watching a video recently where the presenter had found patents that Milwaukee tools had filed showing some interesting potential developments like a Packout compressor….I’ll try to find it and post it somewhere in the forum (just because it’s pure speculation).

And I wonder what others have received recently

I redeemed for two pair of hinge mortise bits in late January. I received 3 of the 4 bits last week.
Didn’t even know they were on the way until the shipping company contacted me.

@bethepro

I received my box but was short on the items I requested….Can I get an update on the stock so that I can place another request?

This feels like deja vu in regards to a suspender question…..

Regardless….Tajima is a great brand, Milwaukee has a great aluminum body chalk line available, Irwins are affordable but work well.

What is your primary trade or requirement for a chalk line, @Olivert ?

I second (and third) the recommendations to get a proper foam installation gun. If you’re doing it often enough it’s a headache saver. Also, the tip about keeping the spray can of gun cleaner on hand is priceless.

There’s a couple that come to mind….
Try searching for Buckaroo Leatherworks and Akribis Leather. Both companies offer premium suspenders/braces that might offer what you’re looking for.

Tell me about it….the price of a workstaion is ridiculous.
I’m currently looking for one to run Chief Architect on and I’m getting sticker shock every time.

The page has been restored on mobile as well, using Chrome.

Appears to be fixed now while viewing with my version of Firefox.
The new post reply toolbar looks promising.

My Collins miter clamps arrived today. I didn’t order the pliers with them, so I’ll have to go out and get a pair.

Not sure why these posts need approval. I fixed them.

Picked up some Klein auto wire strippers and got my new BabeBot glue bottle in the mail.
Figured it was time to replace the old BabeBot….mainly because I let my glue harden up in it….
