The real frightening thing is that's not the only one available, which tells me there's a market for it.

What you do with that is put a spinning feed mechanism in the drill chuck and then have it automatically joint and rip your planks at the same time. It's actually safer than having the tools separate if you think about it.

I like that it has more than one way to catch onto something you're wearing or your hair and as rapidly as possible pull your hand or your forehead directly into a spinning blade.

I wonder if they all spin all the time or if there is a way to select. I hope they all spin, all the time.

I refuse to believe there's a way to spin those bits independently. Also--is that drill supposed to be a "lathe headstock"?

I don't recall seeing a jointer in a smopsmith. In any case, the ability to bore holes in your nuts while you remove digits from each hand with the jointer and table saw all at the same time is a real time saver.

I decided not to drive 40 minutes each yesterday to get that Delta table saw because my saw is "fine" and then today I had an irritating experience in the interaction between my saw's fence not being perfectly parallel to the blade and the riving knife. Feels bad.

Don't know why you're all freaking out about the safety of that tool, the guy is clearly wearing safety wool gloves. Those should get pulled right off his hand, winding themselves into the various spinning implements and gumming up the works nice and quick.

Are there any recommendations for one-handed reciprocating saws? My dad is the type of person who comes back from a day working construction to fix up his previously neglected farm and it seems really handy for stuff in more awkward locations or where you want to be able to stabilize stuff with your other hand. I found a review of a bunch that was aggregating opinions from various users on ergonomics and measuring the time it took to cut through various materials but it only had a few options. In particular I was looking at the Milwaukee M12 Fuel since a friend of mine has their impact driver and impact wrench and they work great, if that stubby impact wrench doesn’t get something loose odds are I need to grab the breaker bar. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Dec 19, 2021 |

The M12 Hackzall is pretty lovely. Not sure about the M12 FUEL. It's probably much better. I have the M18 FUEL and I have no need for a regular Sawzall anymore because it has cut through anything I've thrown at it with ease, including 2x and 4x lumber.

Does your dad already have rechargeable cordless tools? If so just get the one for that line.

He has so many different brands and I don't know why. Just off the top of my head from when I was working for him he had Bosch, Makita, and DeWalt cordless tools, but it has been long enough that I don't know what he currently has or what series they were if any of those tools didn't walk off at a job site. That was 10+ years ago too so I don't think the brushless lines were so much of a thing back then. E: I'll see if my mom knows, she does a lot of work around the house too. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Dec 19, 2021 |

I have the M12 non-Fuel Hackzall and it's fine for small jobs. I've used it for things like cutting pvc pipes and breaking down MDF stuff. I kinda wish I had the Fuel variant though. The M18 would likely handle way more stuff but for smaller jobs of lightweight material it's fine.

A one-handed sawzall is a great gift though. As long as you get one they have batteries for it'll get used. Whatever brand works for your dad, try to get a brushless one if you can. For anyone who might need to get gifts for someone far away, Home Depot has a "scheduled delivery" option where a delivery service will take the item from the closest Home Depot to a person's house. I live in Maryland and I bought my brother in Utah a Makita cordless work light. For $9 HD delivered it to his door. It was at his house 3 hours after I submitted the online order. This was yesterday, on the weekend before Christmas, the busiest shopping and shipping days of the year.

I decided to just ask him what brand he used, looks like he uses Milwaukee after all but he also mentioned that he doesn't have a cordless circular saw so I guess I'll get him one of those. What size blade should I be going with? I've never bought one, just used other people's. Looks like 7 1/4" is the standard size?

Looks like 7 1/4" is the standard size? 7 1/4" is great but (and granted I have other tools for dealing with sheets and dimensional lumber) I have made it a drat long time just using the little 6 1/2" that came with my batteries. I actually love the poo poo out of how light it is and how easily I can use it working vertically like on a wall or when I just need to make a quick recut on a rough milled board.

IMO the big thing that 7.25 has going for it blade availability. It’s the standard for corded saws so there’s just more blade options for 7.25 saws.
