Very similar in feel. Both are very cool to the touch and just fit the palm of your hand just so!!

I have a lot easier access to 18" pipe. I would have to pay for the 24" pipe. I was planning to cut it in half and weld in some plate so that it was oval shaved like so.

Not a bad idea at all.

Man I had a Dremel that my dad gave to me when I was about 8 or 9 years old to do something for Boy Scouts... pinewood derby car maybe? Anyhow it lasted until I was almost 30. I had it out in the shed and the moisture caused a bit to jam in the collet and I could not get it out. But the motor and everything else worked great. Anyhow, since that one seized up on me I've bought 3 more. A Dremel 9000 Advantage (like a rotozip) and an XPR 400. The Advantage broke the flex shaft in about 6 months and the standard flex shaft would not attach.. you had to spend 2x the money on the one for the Advantage. Well it was clunky so I just cut my losses and bought the XPR 400. It lasted a couple years and I was cutting the ends of my old AP bumper and it smoked it. My current one works (pretty sure its a 4000 as well) and it works good. Hopefully it will last. Maybe I should have bought the extended warranty.
Also got in a DeWalt laser level and a laser plumb as well for work. Should make my life so much easier.
Also ordered two 3" and two 6" Irwin "C" clamps. Much cheaper online than at home depot.
I finally broke down and got some magnetic trays after losing a cotter pin the last time I tore my truck apart. And thanks to using Rich stools, I'll be picking up a craftsman mechanic rolling stool today. Those chairs beat sitting on the tire to work

I have a couple of the magnetic trays and I do not know how I kept from losing so many bolts before I had them. They really should be on a top 10 list somewhere for shop tools.
Yeah I'm really paranoid about where I place my bolts and losing that cotter pin was nerve wracking bc if I lost that, what else did I lose? So I ordered an 11" and a 6" tray
Some good thinking in this thread...

Yeah sounds like you need to invest in some air tools Sean.
I have a bunch of air tools. But it was a small cut I was making.
. Anyhow.. It's on a shelf for small stuff now. .

I love those magnetic trays... Only downside is grinder shavings. Mine look like chia pets at times.

What's this about Rich pushing your stool in?
Knew that one was imminent when I read it...

Should've proof read.
I was actually dropping a stool as I typed that.

So you're saying there's a chance!
So my dad brings this over as a gift yesterday. It's an 18 volt cordless impact from Milwaukee tools. Have any of you ever used one?

Good deal. He said one of the two batteries is junk and I was just wondering if it was going to be worth finding and buying a new one. I have only had pneumatic impacts.
