In less than a week from sending the email I got my forstner bit set. I am overjoyed. Thanks Bosch and BTP!

Congratz Jim. I think you just broke the post-Jim era record for quick redemption turnaround time. Double Congratz!

Rain….all day today….aaarrgh! 😬

On the packing slip it says “DO NOT PULL FROM STOCK, SEE BELINDA FOR TOOL”. What does it mean?

Simply that it’s Belinda’s turn to have the glory of wiping the tool up aga…[Read more]

Once you go cordless tough to go back. I have a bunch of corded tools as well that i keep hanging on to although I don’t know why.

And the blower was perfect for at the end of the day clean up of all that saw dust.

Anyone ever asked a client to point the blower at yourself and say “Blow me” to a female client?

That’s a good way to lose that client and any future ones as well.

Really? Maybe I should stop doing that. No wo…[Read more]

Wouldn’t mind some of those ‘Nail Strike’ bits. I can’t discern from even expanding your pic Sami, but are those ones in the multi-pack of them short shafts? I like those especially when drilling between joists.

Those look nice. What pound/force are they rated at Sami?

It was. Waking up this morning, it is raining cats and dogs here and my mouth is sore as heck from the root canal yesterday, but I’m gonna don my rainwear shortly and go check the canopy for any rain issues regardless.

Congratz there Jim!

You’re gonna really be impressed by them. They are excellent Forstner bits.

How many points is the smaller set? I may get one as generally I use mostly the smaller ones.

My TOTD was not really a tool, but a repair supply.

What a day. First it started sadly by being turned away at the Service Canada Passport office for a new passport for my 15 yo son because wifey forgot to sign her part on a stupid form. Sigh!

Then it was off to get a root canal for a molar that was really getting sore as heck this past week. It actually went pretty good. I didn’t hardly feel…[Read more]

So, just the same as at my Kapex station, my Glide on its T4B stand has the same issue with the FastCap three legged safety small stock holder not having a solid place to rest its single legged end on something firm, solid and that offers enough surface for varied small stock holding at all 3 of my miter saw setups.

Mine has ripped the heads off birds. She seems to like doing that. I was just surprised myself she could do it to a bunny close to the size of two fists.
