LOL, but the lime green Ryobis are! HA HA HA

Not a “FAIL”, but my local Home Depot after the new year put the Milwaukee and Makita tools inside cages and metal bar barriers. It was wide open before where customers can just pick out the boxes you need. I wonder if they had many tool thefts?

But hey, if it’s Ryobi, no barrier needed. Why? Because it’s cheaper LOL?

the issue with renting a big space like that for a daily event is if it’s for a meeting or service, you need a lot of chairs and a podium, or a bunch of banquet tables. The renters would expect those to be furnished and no one would bring their own.

Would you use the space to store the lumber or to show the lumber?

What about political town hall meetings?

The old saying that if you hire someone to do a job, you can choose a good job, a fast job or a cheap job. But you can only choose two out of the three. If it’s good and fast it won’t be cheap, if it’s cheap and good, it won’t be fast,…[Read more]

Good luck Brian, hopefully they keep as many people as possible to continue operations. This pandemic impacts everywhere and everyone, and it seems the worst is about to be over with the vaccine being distributed gradually over the population. Perhaps the early retirement offers are actually one way for the company to reduce numbers so they…[Read more]

interesting.

actually I need to drill two hole into an exterior concrete driveway, about 4″ deep and 3/4″ in diameter, for the driveway gate’s drop down bars to lower into. Obviously they need to be straight. The drop down bars are 48″ long, mounted at waist height to the fence frame.

I will be using a SDS+ 3/4″ bit, I think 12″ long. I don’t…[Read more]

How did you do it on your charger did you drill two holes in the back or epoxied a stripe to it’s back?

Today I tried to organize my garage a bit better and mounted all my cordless battery chargers on the wall, except for the Bosch one.

I picked it up and do not see any slots or holes designed for wall mounting. It’s the BC1880 I don’t know if there are newer versions, what am I missing this charger cannot be mounted on the wall? Anyone knows?
