Someone else can chime in, but the dewalt tablesaw is pretty much the best contractor saw out there. The fence adjustment mechanism is awesome. Can take a dado too. Next step up would be the small sawstop IMO.

B-Nasty posted:What, exactly, are you spraying? A shitload of Bonide stuff. Most of it is organic, except for one or two things. In the next few weeks I’ll be spraying all of these several times...

Using a sprayer outside, you are mostly worried about breathing in droplets of the stuff. Unless you are using something super nasty, in which case you should not be asking random DIY fans on the internet for advice, the p100 is going to take care of you. Okay but which P100? There are like 10 different P100 things on that 3M list. Do I need the white-and-magenta one, the yellow-and-magenta one, the green-and-magenta one, the “olive”-and-magenta one, or the OTHER yellow-and-magenta one?

I always use the organic vapor/acid gas ones and they are probably overkill but they aren’t much more expensive and just as (un)comfortable as the others.

I recently lost access to a hammer drill and need to buy one for myself. The project at the moment is just drilling some 1/4" holes into brick, which I'm sure literally any hammer drill could accomplish, but I feel stupid spending $50-$100 on a basic corded hammer drill that would be good for this purpose only. For $70 I can get a no name 1.5" SDS drill with a case and a few bits. For $120 I can get a reburb Bosch 1" SDS-Plus Thoughts?

Methylethylaldehyde posted:Organic Vapor/P100 cart, should be magenta/black. Cool, thanks.  On another note, are any of these good sanders for a tight space (less than 4” wide)? https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Corner-Cat-Finish-Sander-Tool-Only-P401/206354299 https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-1...-P450/206955207 I want to get the Ryobi 6A corded 3”x18” belt sander and save some cash, but with all that tool bulk on the side it looks like it won’t fit in the space I need. I may have to grab a cordless one on eBay for cheaper than Home Depot.

I don't know what you're trying to do, but "belt sander" and "tight spaces" usually aren't in the same sentence. Belt sanders are for quickly removing lots of material when you can easily move them around.

And on closer inspection it looks like the cordless belt sander has the same size problem as the corded one, so yeah I guess you’re right. Corner cat sander it is then!

I'd probably go with the Bosch if my budget didn't allow for high end brand new. We've got a few Bosch rotary hammer drill s at work. They're quite good. Get some GOOD bits with it too. Don't cheap out on the bits or you'll probably regret it.

For $100, I'd recommend the Rockwell version. It's not a tool you're going to use every day, but when you use it, it is the EXACT tool you need.

Also, for plunge cutting with the oscillating multi-tool, the Bosch blades are worth the money, regardless the tool brand you buy.Rutibex posted:

Word of warning on this one, that there are two types of blade, quick change and.. not quick change, and some tools (mine for instance) can only take quick change blades. any tool that takes non-quick-change (full circle) can also take quick-change (partial circle), though. The Bosch ones I see around are the full-circle kind.

I have a Fein multimaster, and it is an amazing tool. Sure, you don't use it most days, but holy hell an oscillating multi-tool can get you out of a hell of a lot of jams, or do things that almost no other tool could do. Definitely worth having one in the arsenal.

Figured I'd share my experience with DeWalt's 3 year tool warranty. Second time dealing with them, first was a 20V battery that failed a while back, after about 1.5 years of use. Called, gave info off battery and told the CSR I had a receipt (I do, but they did not verify anything more than the serial off the pack). They sent me a new battery, and told me to recycle the old one. Fast forward to the end of this September, my 20V string trimmer purchased in late 2018 quit with no warning. I set up a return through their website and printed a free UPS shipping label. They did take a card # but told me it wouldn't be charged without calling me first (in the case that the tool was not warranty eligible due to abuse or whatever, then it's $55 to repair). I went ahead and bought a new string trimmer cause I figured it would take a while, and we're still mid-season here in The South. Last week I came home to a brand new string trimmer from DeWalt on my front porch. Not even two weeks turnaround, I shoulda held off on the new one.

Little bit of epoxy to fix a crack in a plastic handle retainer: And I've got another dumb german saw. And it's....blue?  Had no idea that was a thing. And yes, it's german not japanese. Looks like Makita bought Dolmar GmbH, the makers of the first chainsaw ever. This one appears to be late 90s and is old enough model that the molds say made in west germany. I sharpened the couple of chains I got with it and took it out for a test run. Cuts really nice. And more importantly it's an appropriately sized/weight limbing saw. Doing limbing work with the MS440 in the background is miserable - even with the "short" (25") bar on it. Best part, got it for $100.

Hi team, I'm looking for some recommmendations for the the AI: Secret Santa thread I'll be posting up in a couple of weeks. I'd like suggestions for quality/useful/fun tools etc that are commonly available around the $20US price range. This way I can provide a good list of sugesstions for people to make the chosing process a little easier. Have at it!

I am just an average homeowner looking for a level. Will I regret buying a 24 inch level instead of the 12? I know longer level will be more accurate, but is that too long to be useful in most situations? (hanging up shelves, pictures, etc etc etc)

I know longer level will be more accurate, but is that too long to be useful in most situations? (hanging up shelves, pictures, etc etc etc) IMO the only reason to go for a smaller level is so you can fit it in tighter spaces, e.g. within a doorway. So I'd say use that as your guide for your upper limit, and otherwise buy the biggest one you can reasonably afford. Very long levels get a bit awkward to hold steady with one hand, but I'm talking 6ft and usually you're using those vertically. I tend to use a 6-7ft level for vertical stuff, 3-4ft for most things, and ~1ft when the others are too big. (sorry I don't know what the actual numbers are)

A torpedo level might be more of what you're after. I use mine for most simple homeowner tasks. I also have a 36" level for more advanced stuff, but for pictures and stuff the torpedo does fine.
