I will be there. Had a good time last year.

I was listening to the fine home building podcast. All the guys from the magizine will be there for this to speak along with some of their brand ambassadors.

What’s the drop on the ProCore batteries? The slim pack looks real weird, is it the slim version of the Cores that we have right now?

The planer looks real interesting too…

The slim pack is 5 21700 cells wich should provide 3.5ah. Should be significantly smaller than the current 4ah fat pack with the same power. Thi…[Read more]

as for teh 12v planer im very skeptical about that… they need to run at high rpms to be efficient. a cordles colt would be better as their more commonly used

Older slotted screws are the only thing I save. Some people like that older look of slotted screws. They add a nice look especially if you are restoring something old.

Finally pulled the trigger on the 18v starlock omt. Also got the graco cordless ultra sprayer for an upcoming job. Then I went to Home Depot and picked up a Milwaukee rocket light that came with a free 5.0 battery for 199. I had a 100 dollar gift card that was burning a hole in my pocket that made it an awesome buy.

I am out of town doing a job. They added a few thing when we were already down here and I needed a router for like 100 ft of chanfer on some faux post so I did what any one would do and get a 570 dollar festool router.

Used my Bosch impact to finally put the top on the chest I made for my wife.

Just bought 2 so now I have a total of 3. Couldn’t pass up the 10 dollar deal they got right now. I might pick up some more.

Sure you can. You just can’t have any thing sticking up out of it.

That’s my problem I’m always over stuffing it with tools and materials so it’s hard to stack them .

I only have one tote so I keep it on top. I wouldn’t mind getting another one in the future though. But I can see how it could be a problem

Every one is getting those. It might be next for me.

On all of our jobs we take all the scrap out and use that money for lunches. Today scrap money bought us pizza it was a good day.

I just like the fact that it’s easily available from Home Depot. Only a couple places around here carry mirka stuff and they are out of the way otherwise I would get it more often. Where as Home Depot is always close.

Yeah I know thaws why I want to see what happens when a tick is in a busy city for a day.

A couple of days ago, I found a rental place that would rent me for $23/day the 6in SDS-MAX Floor Scrapper alone versus HD rental and other places that require me to rent the tool also, so now I’ve scratched that item off my list. That’s good, as I was really hesitant to part with 155K…

@jimdaddyo – I thought the same, and if budget is too tight, or you’re just starting out as a DIYer, a single drill is just fine. But I agree – having a dedicated driver is where it’s at for any project if you can…or more if you can swing it!

What is even better is having 2 drills and a driver. I keep a counter…

I am going to send one with my wife on Monday to work. She works downtown in Cincinnati. Lots of people there. Hopefully I can get a ping from the tick.

Congrats frank. I have heard that’s one of the best if not THE best worm drive out there.

Has anyone compared the core batteries to the regular Bosch 6.0 ?

For performance, should be identical to the core vs 4.0. The 6.0 is just extra 18650 cells wired in to get more total capacity.

No it’s the same number of cells just denser cells
