speaking of tools, I just picked up a pneumatic die grinder and a carbide burr bit for doing some cylinder head port work.

my dad used to be a locksmith, and he would constantly have to use his corded milwakee to use the drill killer- hole saws. that thing still works flawlessly

24volt Craftsman cordless hasn't let me down yet

That things a beast and will drill through anything... only downfall is holding the dam thing up, as it feels like it weighs 15lbs. after 5 minutes of use (actually weighs about 7lbs, so still heavy)... but I got plenty of back ups around here
Corded sawzall and cordless
3) Circular saws and 1 cordless trim saw
4) drills in all
and who knows how many wire cutters/ strippers
You get the idea...
You can never have to many toys

LOL

My past two amps have smoked on me

I'm with ya on the Milwaukee products. I've never killed one before. Probably the best quailty for heavy duty use there is. There expensive, but like car audio you get what you pay for. But hey, IU'vew had that skil saw for about 10+ years, not a bad investment....

u killed a Milwaukee? thats pretty crazy! lol i love Milwaukee thats i i buy anymore. i have circ saw drill impact driver and flashlight from them and all work flawlessly! check eBay for some good deals i got the drill the impact and the light with 2 battery's and charger plus contractor bag for 80 bucks

sure its 14.4v but the Milwaukee 14.4v outperforms my craftsman 19.2 and my dads dewalt 18v

SPeaking of laser line saw... thats what my folks garage is for :happy055: . I went and got a circular saw(laser line). Damn those are nice. They live down the road so, as much as I wish I could buy a new set, funds are limited. I'm on disability, waiting on back surgery(sucks). I probably shouldn't even be toting around a 7.5ft3 box but hey.. priorities! Well I have all the pieces cut, except for the 2 ends(its gonna take another sheet of mdf) and marked for the recessed screwholes and all, now just have to assemble. Oh yeah and the minor inconvienience of doing a new head gasket.. sweet.

Amen to that. My dad's old Craftsman circular saw goes about 6 inches and then gets stuck. Neither of us can figure out why. I think the blade isn't tightening anymore (stripped bolt maybe) and it's moving just enough during the cut to where it just rubs the crap out of the wood.

The first time I used my dad's old Craftsman router, something shot out of the top and busted the lock for changing bits and undid like 4 wire nuts inside it. RIP on that one.

I'm going out this weekend to get a new circular saw and I'm also going to look for one of those combo packs with the circ saw/jigsaw because the base on dad's old Craftsman jigsaw doesn't stay in place anymore.

time for a laser line circular saw and jig saw, and a LiIon drill!
woo! new toys!
