I had an "aha" moment at work the other day when asked about blades for a worm drive circular saw. Most worm drive circular saws will have a diamond arbor instead of a round 5/8 arbor in a standard saw. Most manufacturers(at least the DeWalt blades I stock at work) have a 5/8 arbor, but with a diamond punched there, so that you can knock out the metal if you need to use it on a worm drive saw. That might be common knowledge for some, but it was one of those "how have I never known that?" moments for me.

I've got this old toolcase that I'm looking at taking all my tools out of and putting into one of my new cases. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the wrenches - it's a set of 14, half SAE, half metric. I wanted to get a little wrench roll or something, but all the ones I'm finding are way too big or meant more for other hand tools. I'm thinking I might just go buy some canvas/cordura zipper bags and say gently caress it. I can always use them somewhere else if I get more wrenches later/get another set... unless somebody has a suggestion of a better idea here?

When I have too many things for a peanut butter jar and not enough for a tool box, I get out the needle and thread and an old pair of jeans and DIY one of these: http://www.traditionalwoodworker.com/20-Pocket-Heavy-Denim-Roll-With-Pouch/productinfo/130-1120/ Skip all that zipper stuff and just tie it up after rolling it. Might hold you over until you have more tools or better storage.

That sounds like an easy and cool project but I kinda suck at sewing by hand. In related news, the HF air tool starter kit I bought is everything you would expect from Harbor Freight, the inflator has to be finessed at all odd angles until you find the sweet spot that puts air into the tire, and the top of the tire gauge snapped off by the time I got to the second wheel.  I pressed the head back on and I think it worked just fine but still. . .

I need a cordless drill. The more compact, the better. I'll be needing it for when we move in the summer time, like for quick furniture disassembles. I was leaning towards the Milwaukee M12 Fuel, but I'm open to other suggestions.

The Bosch is nice enough, but I'd way rather buy into Milwaukee's 12v line. Bosch's selection isn't anywhere near as extensive. I suppose that doesn't matter so much if you don't plan on getting other tools though. Having a cordless set in addition to a big corded drill doesn't seem too redundant. It's super handy to have a cordless drill for smaller stuff.

Yeah, I don't do much myself aside from basic auto repair and average homeowner repair/improvements, but even I've found usefulness in having both a corded 1/2" drill and a 12V compact drill/driver too.

The Bosch kit is a brushed drill, which is not particularly bad but overall everything is not as good a brushless drill. The M12 Fuel line is brushless, the motors are more efficient meaning more power and longer running time. You can get a Milwaukee M12 non-fuel kit for about $210 CDN. I don't know the prices of Bosch or Milwaukee brushless combo kits, but you can expect to pay significantly more. I don't have any experience with Bosch tools, but from my research (highly scientific youtube videos  ) I just felt that Milwaukee's features suited my needs better. A cordless drill/driver will not replace your corded hammer drill. If you think it will replace your Magnum, just lug the Magnum up to the top of a ladder a couple times after untangling the extension cord.Because of the price/power difference, I ultimately decided to go with a brushless impact driver and a brushed drill/driver. I don't want to pound into masonry very often so I doubt I will be missing out on not having a hammer drill. Not Wolverine fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Jan 19, 2015 |

melon cat posted:This is a really interesting concept, but I'm brand new to the idea of a right angle drills. Any potential drawbacks given its design? I've just never held one (or even used one ever). Their triggers are farther away from the chuck (to protect your fingers given how much closer the chuck is to the grip than on a standard drill), so that means that it's harder to maintain pressure on driving the bit forward as well as keeping it on center. That's why the heavier drills listed on that page come with handles near the head. Those ones are typically used by electricians and plumbers for drilling holes sideways in studs and joists during construction.

The main downside is it doesn't really drill, it does however drive better than y drill-driver I've used. That's the set I've been eyeing, you can even get a little tool belt holster for it which would be so handy. My current drill is a Bosch and it's been flawless. I also need a good corded drill for drilling thru studs/mixing joint compound/etc. I've been looking at this Hitachi and this Dewalt. Anyone got opinions on corded drills? Trip report: I mentioned picking up the Dewalt router set and it's been great. The D handle is especially nice, I was up on the roof flush trimming some sheathing and it worked flawlessly. The only thing I don't like is the single wrench system (you press a button to stop the spindle from turning); I'm used to Porter Cable with two wrenches which I found easier to get really tight using the scissor technique. Also, I got my track saw and holy poo poo this thing is amazing. I've been using it to cut sheathing and I can just put down the track and, bam, perfect cut. I don't even need clamps most of the time (too much sawdust makes it slippery tho'). The plunge action is especially helpful.

I'm getting married at the end of March and have been thinking about registering for some new/upgraded tools. I've registered for this new drill so far: http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Screwdriver/dp/B00FK8WQEA I currently rent a small apartment in NYC but will ultimately end up living in a house in the 'burbs within the next few years. For now, i'm looking for things like a good wrench/socket set, new screwdrivers etc - as I have limited space for now. I don't do a ton of handywork so I'm thinking a good set of basics that will last a lifetime and can be expanded upon sounds like a good plan. Any suggestions on sets, brands, etc?

I think I've been made fun of in this thread for it already, but I own one. I wouldn't use it for finish caulking, but it owns for when you just need to put down a shitload of construction adhesive. e: It's also good for caulking that you won't see, like when I put in new windows.

Hell yes it is (in the right situations). You can lay down a perfect bead and go way faster. Also, cold PL Premium is a major pain in the rear end the squeeze out. In fact, I was just doing that and it sucked. Same thing goes with battery powered grease guns. If you've got a machine to service every morning before use it's the difference between 5 minutes and 15 minutes.

for what it's worth, my fiancee is pretty laid back about this stuff, but my move was "I'm just thinking ahead to when we own a home and you want me to take care of stuff around the house." Having a good set of tools is probably just as important for making your house a home as having those loving placemats, right?

The key feature of stand mixers is planetary motion, so a drill press won't make a very good one. It's a task much better suited to a CNC mill. And the CNC mill can be adapted to many other baking tasks as well! Clearly one of the essential pieces of kitchen equipment.

Back before rural electrification, they sold home appliances that a housewife could power from her farmer husband's outdoor motor. Just hook up the washing machine to the motor, and there you go! Speaking as a cook, you want a stand mixer for exactly the same reason you want (say) a drill press. There's a big difference between mixing a cake for 3 minutes while holding a hand mixer and whipping egg whites for 5-8 minutes with a balloon whip on a stand mixer with planetary motion. And there's no such thing as a dough hook for a hand mixer; they just don't have enough power to be effective. I would never be without my faithful Kitchenaid, which we got (gulp) 34 years ago and is still doing the job splendidly. If your fiancee bakes at all, she has every good reason to want a stand mixer. And you can attach a meat grinder and make your own sausage! (Which I did once, 34 years ago, but whatever. :p )
