Picked up the 16" Knipex Cobra pliers to complete the set. From 4" to 22" in size.

Until they build a different size.

Finally broke down and got a new table saw with the heavier duty stand. I had to drill out the mounting holes on the table saw and put in longer 1/2" bolts that I had to mount it to the stand because DeWalt can't seem to get the small details right anymore. My dad's old tablesaw from the 80's just wasnt' cutting it anymore (pun intended). The cast iron base is warped and the fence isn't straight so it's no good for precision work.

Bought a similar one for my wood shop. The stand doesn't have the wheels, but mine permanently mounted anyway. It's a damn nivmce cutting saw for the $.

Anyone have / used an M18 circular saw? I am probably going to need to pick one up sooner than later.

I got one last year, only used a couple times, not enough use for a review.

The 10 year makita one I have has been through a lot, no complaints on it.

I have an M18 circular saw.. used it today to be honest. It's only a 6" blade though. Not Fuel. Works great for what I need.

Edit my bad.. 7".

The bigger blade size is more versatile. The only thing I don't like about these are it's a right hand window view, meaning you have to look over the side of the saw to see your cut if you're right handed.

The 6-1/2" might be better for lease use as it will be lighter and it's a left hand window view.

I had a small 6" bladed Dewalt that worked great, but it used the old style batteries and didn't last very long. But it was handy in a pinch.

Thanks for the additional info.

I finally got to use my new M12 23-gauge pin nailer this past weekend and man is that a great tool. It's lightweight, has a bright LED light and drives pins as well as a pneumatic version.

Spent a few hours at work cleaning and organizing my tool locker. In the process I found a drawer full of these Wera torque drivers in someone else’s locker while they were cleaning their locker. So I confiscated one. They’re a little big for their intended purpose here so it might find its way to my range bag at some point in the future.

they were 2 months back ordered but they came today. Still waiting on the SAE but the metric should get most of what I need done anyhow. Seem to be good quality, hopefully the ratcheting mechanism holds up.

Some days you're the bug and some days you're the windshield...I got a random fedex email saying a shipment from zoro heading my way. Almost a year ago I had ordered tekton long flex head ratcheting 6 point wrenches in both SAE and metric. The metric were delivered but the SAE was cancelled off my order due to being discountinued and they credited my account. Santa came early as I guess they must have found some in their inventory, delivered free of charge lol
