I have used gouge chisel for wood before to crave on concave surfaces, I have never used a concrete gouge before, I wonder if it can cut channels on solid concrete.

I have SDS grout kniives for different joint sizes. They look like this.

This is a Gouge Chisel, I have never used one, but wondering if it’s the same as the one in your set.

what is the bit on the far right that looks like a spagetti spoon for?

IRON MAN!

my reply with quotes got swallowed LOL.

Oh well @Boschmanbrian @MTRoads are correct the labels for 4 and 7 are reversed. So does it mean I am the first user who reads a manual? Who proofread manuals for Milwaukee?

So I was looking at the Milwaukee OMT user’s manual. Take a look and see if you can spot something interesting?

My order for the cordless M18 OMT arrived, with a free 2ah battery.

Ahhh the track saw. I would like one one of these days!

It is doubtful you will get a response before Oct 1. I bet they will just sit back and process every request after Oct 1 and by then it’s too late for you to redeem. You might be better off just redeem the bit and ask them to deduct whatever they want…[Read more]

The chemical that I have found to be useful in controlling termites (and carpenter ants) is fipronil. This is the active ingredient in the product Termidor which many termite companies use.

The reason it is not very effective in spray form is you really need a continuous barrier of this stuff soaked into the soil. Subterranean termites lives in…[Read more]

Moldings do help hide imperfection. But the moldings also encouraged sloppy work. To finish walls, floors and doors without moldings is much more difficult, which is the appeal…[Read more]

Wood is pretty expensive these days.

Thank you Bosch for providing an environment and platform for the information exchange and BTP2012 for doing everything to keep the site up and running. Much appreciated.

That’s what I’m thinking about

Just curious to know if anyone knows if it’s available

To me the workflow is to access the information on Bosch web site and the only issue is they are taking their time in fixing it. Like I said I know some people prefer to call in and talk to a real person, and some prefer to do it in a few clicks sitting home late at night. Just like there are people who still go to a post office to mail a paper…[Read more]
