Used to take just over three months before they changed it a few years ago now.

Unless you submit some tool reviews – or other long form content. I know I’ve submitted my fair share of reviews and that has really helped in the piggy department.

Isn’t the 18 volt so much faster?

They are but I find the trade off between size and weight worth it even if it takes a second or two longer.

Exactly – the speed difference is so slight on smaller things that the weight difference is much more noticeable.

That’s mind boggling to me. I think the highest I ever got was in the mid 400k – but that’s only because it took them a longtime to take off the points for my multi-grip recip.

Is this a new thing? I haven’t ever heard of Grizzly having a cordless tool line before.

Those are some big point redemptions – makes sense you’d want to think about it a bit.

I finished the shed today – hung all the doors and got the thing buttoned up, just need to come back later this week to pick up the leftover scraps.

TOTD was easily my new Gecko siding clamps today

Oh man that looks really easy. Looks like hanging siding can really be a one man job.

Yeah, it was pretty nice, especially after the first and second row. I only had one side that was longer than 6’ though, so it wasn’t a huge project.

I used my CCS180 again today but this time it was to trim an old solid core door to use as one of the barn doors on the shed. The owners wanted something they had bought used, and I think they plan to paint them all with chalkboard paint.

I also used my ps42 and 32 a bunch – hanging a gutter, hanging the rails for the barn doors, and a few toilet…[Read more]

Looks to be coming along nicely and nice that the saw is keeping up with the work flow.

Totally. The saw didn’t have a problem at all, even when I gang cut four planks at once. But I think next time I side, I’ll opt for getting a siding blade for…[Read more]
