I’ve seen the Bosch Daredevil 12 Pc. Spade Bit Set for $9.97
and the 6pc for 4.97

Those are good prices. The price for them up here is pretty much double.

I shy away from spade bits. They just don’t last.

Freezing today, which is well below the normal for this time of year here.

Overall a good unit, but a few things to complain about.

Like what Alex?

the hose is garbage, no base with casters

Does it accomodate other standard Bosch hoses?

I have a lot of Festool and a few Bosch hoses. Hope…[Read more]

This seems like a ‘buyer beware’ item reading some of those reviews. Fifty percent satisfied is not strong endorsement when I always like to factor in that some or many reviewers in some cases are potentially shills or ghost writters. FWIW to ya Sami.

Just my PB360s today doing end of season teardown and such with our first snowfall coming at us. I was so not ready for this day.

Did you get any sheathing on the shed yet?

Yes I did today. Used my 18V impacts, my cordless Bosch jiggy and circ saw too.

The weather was cold but not too windy at all and I ended up working outside all afternoon. Colder temps starting tomorrow til next weekend though. Sigh!

Give us an idea of what I think is likely the ‘crazy’ shipping rates Dirty. Just curious.

How’s Amazon on it @dirtywhiteboy? I would think they’d be the most friendliest when it comes to that.

I’m gonna stop by Costco and get a tablet on big sale today.

What kind of table Dirty??

I got the SamSung Galaxy Tab A (8″). It’s my first Tablet and it looks like I’ll be learning how to use it for a while now. I think it was 130$

I have a similar older Samsung G4 tablet and my son has…[Read more]

Got going on the sheathing for my lean-to shed today. Roof sheathing is done and got some of the walls done. Not knowing whether I will get to actually shingling the roof this year, I at least ran some Tuck Tape along the seems between the ply sheets just to stop any wet laden snow up there from easily dribbling thru over the winter.

It was…[Read more]

Now that would be deceptive. Not to say a lot of ‘made in ….wherever’ is not necessarily true. You can import parts made all over the world and only do what is essentially only ass…[Read more]

That ‘list’ is likely different for all of us insofar as what shows up sequentially. I think Amazon will tailor it to your search history with them.

Paid $150 instead which I’m OK with for it. Promo isn’t supposed to start til tomorrow, but the promo code worked just fine today on it.

Cool, let me know what you think once you get it!

Sure. Charlie @cmeyer25 just got one a few weeks ago. Pretty sure he said he likes his.

No, but I do plan on getting one. Just waiting for some kind of deal. It does both wet and dry.

Lowes has it for $99 USD.

Up here it was $180 CAD or more last time I looked.

I was referring to the bare tool. Does your 180CAD include any…
