After I get back home!

Going to succumb to the stupid pricing of lumber....

 

the secret is to not wear any jimmies at all, can't rustle what's not there in the first place

Thats the one tool I think Ill stick to corded on. Cheap and they just flat out work better.

 

UPS guy didn't believe me that my 5 gallon bucket full of 3rd member was heavy and chuckled when I asked if he was sure that he wanted it on the counter. "yea, up here"

his older coworker went to pick it up and couldn't so he just said "65 pounds" and they both started laughing

 

With the exception of the Raider plate frame, this truck is fucking mint.

Love me a square body

 

You need to do a lot more cutting than I do, I remember your fence.

A 4AH battery will do way more cuts than I ever needed to in one sitting, and the M12 is stupid light.

If I were in your position, I'd definitely opt for a full size and go corded.

 

Its not the longevity Id be concerned with. My buddy comments about how my old skilsaw has way more power than his battery one. Chews through knotty big box lumber store boards with ease.

 

I think I bought a corded craftsman circ saw on sale for $50, I rarely build anything so I didn't want to pay more than I needed to for the DeWalt lol

 

$50 circ saw > $100+ cordless circ saw

Theres not much to these tools. No need to spend more than necessary.

 

No one said there was a Need to spend more

Just the same way we don't Need to mod our vehicles, etc. We just want to.

 

My point isnt about the money, its about paying more for a lesser quality tool. Why limit yourself to only cutting a few 2x4's at a time?

I couldnt care less what you do. Im just curious if the Milwaukee fanboy mindset has caused this decision or not lol.

 

Talking about need on a truck forum is funny

I don’t NEED a corded worm-drive skil-saw, but after using them professionally as a framer, I sure as hell want one!

 

Was put in charge of these 4 enlisted kids today to do equipment inventory. I say kids but I’m ~5 years older than them. Feels like a larger gap.

 

170+ cuts on 2x4, not sure I'll even come close to 20 at a time.

As for the 'Milwaukee mindset', it's the whole being on a battery platform I already own. There were maybe 3-4 instances per year that I wish I had a cordless circular saw, mainly out of convenience. If this serves that convenience even once, then I got the benefit I was seeking

 

Fuck, I may as well just give Zane those Icons I just got

Surely I don't need them.

 

Finally stopped raining!

 

I got pissed with cordless circ saws, never powerful enough and they don't last very long. $45 Ryobi plug in circ saw solved that, thing rips like my Dad's old worm drive skil-saw

 

Truck forum but it's all old people who leave everything stock and argue about floor mats and air fresheners

 

This actually sounds like the Buick forums
