Milwaukee Tools

me too!
when it hit 99$ i was out of excuses to not buy it - it had been sitting in my cart for a week at that point

now you guys got me wanting that inflator - when it comes back in stock -

already had the weed/whacker, leaf blower and chainsaw - the chainsaw is my favorite thus far, perfect for thinning the woods around the house, before they get big/dead/expensive to remove

 

If you like packout stuff this is a good buy

I'm just now discovering the pack out stuff and must have it! Can anyone link me to a base plate I can attach to a spot in my truck for them to lock into?

 

Just search Packout mounting plate at Home Depot. Different choices for how you want them mounted and different sizes

 

Working on this deck this week. Got all the cedar decking on today. 18'x12'. Used my Fuel 6 1/2" circular saw with 5.0 Battery. 2 bars still remained at the end of the day. Cordless is the shit!

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

I might go broke this holiday season if I keep looking at more tools

 

this is the official mounting plate

but if you're looking for something more custom/hidden, there's these as well, just without the locking tab

at $30, that official plate has dropped in price. when it first came out, it was something like $50+, and was cheaper to buy the cheapest packout container and cut the lid off. it's what i did in my work truck.

Slightly off topic. I'm retiring my 25+ year old Delta 10" Jobsite Table Saw. Paid $99 way back. It's light (plastic base) and has cut material it has no business even attempting. The Fence sucks dog balls. It's fine for rough, not terribly precise work. I do have the Milwaukee 8 1/2" Fuel Table Saw and love it for light/finish work. I still wanted a corded jobsite table saw for larger projects, like the deck I'm working on. Was checking FB MP for used ones and found this Metabo 10" with stand for $300. Brand new. Seller was only 3 miles from me. SOLD! Guess I'm now a member of Team Green.

 

I got what looks like the same saw model (C10RJ) under the Hitachi brand in 2017 for around $400 -> $200 on sale with prime. Still running great but one observation: the printed ruler for the fence was in inches, but printed such that 5" was around 4.5". I am curious if Metabo fixed the sticker to be 1:1 scale lol?

 

I'll be sure to check and report back when I set it up. I generally don't rely on those built in measurement guides. Still use my tape measure.

 

Most of these new style tables saws allow some adjustment for dialing it in. I also don’t use it though still, because I butt up the work piece to the blade to make sure I’m where I want to be on the kerf in relation to my mark. It’s habitual.

 

The funny thing about the older Hitachi version was they printed the inch ruler at the wrong scale, so to fix it you had to peel it off. Kreg makes a replacement stick-on ruler that fits the same spot (that I never ordered, but should one day).

 

That rear handle circular saw with the SDS and two 6.0HO batteries

 

Got it all assembled. Measurements were spot on out of the box. Fence needed a slight adjustment on one end.

 

I bought this drill for my dad 20 years ago. He’s gone now and I didn’t want to throw it out. It has join the M18 master race
