I got the two power stacks with free bare tool at Lowe's the other day, I was really short on DeWalt batteries and didn't need huge capacity ones so it seems to meet my needs so far.

The power stack has been great for me. I just did about 700' of base with the brad nailer and only had to charge it once, about 75% through the project. Small and light was perfect for that job.

Our family did a road trip and I brought it along in case I had to change a tire in the dark or some poo poo. Turns out, the whole town’s power went out for like 4 hours, so we used it as a light for our hotel room while we waited. Pretty sure it was included as a throw in for some big set of DeWalt tool starter pack that was on sale years ago and turns out it’s one of my most-used tools.

The brad nailer would be what you want for all of those, technically a brad nail is a finish nailer too but tools called "finish nailers" typically use 15ga or 16ga finish nails as opposed to 18ga brads. 15ga and 16g are typically used for trim on the exterior of a house whereas brads will be used for nearly everything inside.

I also like the DCE511 fan, the newer version (DCE512) doesn’t let you plug AC in, but that was pretty helpful this weekend with a sewer backup and having that fan blow for hours.

You use galvanized clip head or round head nails on exterior trim, etc. Rain, you know.

Never seen that before. lovely contractors have been gluing things that shouldn't be glued for as long as there have been adhesives. It's fast, the homeowner doesn't know and/or doesn't know why they should care, etc. It's yet another pitfall when hiring anyone to do work, you often don't know what you're going to get and on the timescales involved they're long gone by the time you remodel and find this or 4 years later when your full bathroom reno starts to fall apart......

Also, tool light gang, the Milwaukee M12 Rover Service and Repair Floodlight 2367-20 is pretty helpful. The light head swivels and the back is magnetic, plus it has a USB A port for charging stuff. Here affixed to the metal roof of the shed I’m assembling stuff in.

You don't have to use an actual construction adhesive like liquid nails either, brads + silicone sealant should hold in most cases and be relatively easy to remove. Speaking of weird uses for construction adhesive, windows, some, but not all, of my original windows in my 1980s house had construction adhesive used in addition to fasteners. To add to the weirdness it varied even within the same room, one window would be in with just fasteners + spray foam and a window right next to it would also have adhesive. Window installers had use recip saws and crowbars to remove those ones. Elem7 fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Feb 11, 2023 |

This convo reminded me of a builder (this is like 40-45 years ago) who used to demand his trim carpenters glue door trim, baseboard, everything as well as nailing it. And for some reason, I even remembered his name, even though I never met the guy. Conrad Case.

I dragged my ancient 6" Craftsman jointer out of its dust-collecting corner to joint some pine boards for some shelves I'm building. Before I started I cleaned and waxed the table surface and set the fence to 90*. The goal was to put a 90* non-crooked edge on one side so I could run them through the table saw and get straight boards of consistent width. It was dangerous, made an enormous mess and it honestly did a lovely job. And it was a slow process. The boards were long and pretty crooked to start with, so the jointer needed a ton of passes to get in the ballpark of having straight edges. So I quit and used my fancy new Makita cordless track saw. Holy poo poo that thing is nice. Perfect straight cuts at 90*, excellent dust collection, and the machine did its job in one pass per board without the feeling I was going to end the day without my fingertips. The only bummer was that the dust collection hose was pretty obtrusive. The ridges on it kept getting snagged on edges. Good thing the track saw does not mind at all if I release the trigger, back up, move the hose around, and then turn the saw back on to resume the cut. I have a lunchbox planer as well. If I make a sled for it I can joint board faces as well. The jointer is going up on FB Marketplace today. gently caress that huge, heavy, dangerous, one-trick pony. Now that I think of it, I could have been using a straight edge and my router to joint edges this whole time without the fancy track saw. The router does make a huge mess like the jointer.

Anyone have a recommendation for a hose without any ridges that's fairly flexible actually? I also find this incredibly annoying anytime I'm using my track saw or sander, as a result I often skip using a collector when doing small sanding jobs which I really shouldn't. I haven't had much luck searching on my own, the fabric covered Festool hoses look promising but I haven't seen them available to buy on their own for anything less than ridiculous prices.

You could try getting some hose sleeving for your current hoses, I'd be interested to see if that gives you any good results.

Looking at buying a laser level. Are the consumer units like ryobi, skill, green bosch worth buying? I also found someone locally wanting to sell a used unit like this for 130€, I don't know if this is a quality brand or not, gonna look into it now, but maybe someone recognizes it. https://hornbach.de/shop/Rotationslaser-Laserliner-selbstnivellierend-AutoSmart-Laser-100-Set/8637687/artikel.html This unit doesn't create a visible line (I guess?), but uses a receiver, I think I would prefer a visible line, but I am reading the units with receivers, which I gather are more old school have longer ranges.

His Divine Shadow posted:Looking at buying a laser level. Are the consumer units like ryobi, skill, green bosch worth buying? Different lasers are for different things. You need to be a lot more specific about what you're trying to do with one. The one you linked looks like a rotary laser. I have a large one that I use as a transit/for grading/leveling soil or laying out sites. I also have a green cross laser for building/finish work indoors. They are in no way interchangeable.

Yeah I don't know poo poo about lasers and the terminology, just googling a bit today increased my knowledge twofold or more from what it was when I posted that. I've worked with bubble levels and string levels before. Bubble levels work but I'd like to make my life easier. This is for foundation work, building & levelling concrete forms, I will need to do some concrete plinths foundations, grading and setting pavers. Stuff like that, outdoors and getting things level (or the right amount of slope), indoor work not so much.

I use a Bosch GRL1000: https://www.boschtools.com/us/en/boschtools-ocs/rotary-lasers-grl1000-20hvk-199723-p/ It's essentially the laser replacement for an old school transit and level stick.

I thought it was important to get the name brand laser level, and I have zero complaints w my Bosch 3 plane level (price notwithstanding) but an electrician I work with uses some no-name level he got off Amazon for like $60 bucks and loves it. I’d say look for one that’s rechargeable, at the least. Dealing w AAs or AAAs in this day and age is annoying
