Why can’t they make all the corded tool with a recessed male socket at the end of the tool, so you can unplug the tool right there. The cord then is just an accessory to be s…

What do you guys think about the price? MSRP 599 USD

That’s likely gonna be around $800 CAD up here in Canada. Sorry, to pricey for me. I doubt I’ll get one unless it was as a redemption and since Jim has gone, nothing has hit tha…

Little note for the non Canadians looking at the Fiskars on the Canadian tire website – nobody ever pays full price at Canadian Tire. About a quarter of the store goes on deep discount for a week a month. Basically, everything goes on sale at some point. If you can wait, you do.
And their store brands are often around 90%off so we laugh and wink…[Read more]

That’s way I went with a 16oz hammer. $25 on sale.

Are you over at the FOG forum too?

Still poke my nose in there once in a while. That forum has changed a lot in the last few years and while I still like all my many Festool tools I have, I’m not the…

I hear you there, 28K for a family of 4 + 13K deductible.

Government says it is un-affordable if it is more than 8% of your income. In our area you need to make 350K to have your h…

Now after that we can no longer send batteries in the US mail

Makes it a pain to buy tools from overseas that have batteries. Can’t do it have to buy bare tools only.

That’s true, it’s definitely changed the way we use to buy tools with batteries over the Internet.

Good choice, Greg, I still haven’t made any decisions on anything to save for. I guess I’m still waiting for new additions when or if they come.

I’m really enjoying this setup.
