Home Improvement Today?

I have an older Makita that is darn good. Milwaukee and DeWalt make a good Recip saw too. If you only can have one def go corded.

 

thinking of going w/ the milwaukee for the 5yr warranty over the 1yr on makita, but the one that just broke on me was a milwaukee so i am bitter

 

how long have you had it? Usually they hold up pretty good.

 

I've had my Makitas for like 12 or 13 years

 

it's fairly new. less than 3 years

is it this one?

Nope , its an older model

I just looked but don't see it on their website

 

Want my cooked one for parts?

 

what model is it

 

That's one

 

I'm not a contractor, I got a Craftsman corded that I use for general home owner type stuff. I did widen a doorway (for French doors) cutting through plaster and latte. It got hot, but still runs great. Under $100 when I bought it.

 

I've burned through 2 cordless 20v dewalts lately but I'm thinking it's my guy who's running it....

 

For my around the house use I've got the Craftsman C3 recip saw. It's around 10 years old now and I finally upgraded to the lithium batteries. Only issue I've had is the blade release lever gets stuck closed sometimes.

For work a year ago I purchased a couple sets of Milwaukee cordless tools. So far so good and they get used pretty rough by multiple employees who may or may not know the proper tool care etiquette.

 

The transition from stairwell to drop ceiling was a joke so that got ripped out and cleaned up.

 

My 90% finished ensuite is now crammed full of furniture and bins of crap from our upstairs floor for our carpet install on Tuesday

Never move in before you're done they said , it'll be fine I said

 

Lol.

 

After 9 years of living here I finally have one of these:

About 3 hrs and $50 later I'm wondering why I didn't do this sooner lol

Here's what I did over the weekend. Was able to capture it with the GoPro.
