1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The new craftsman stuff is Stanley. So same as MAC and Dewalt.

 

I think bearings in mine might be going, it makes some interesting noises when it's spinning down. Those fine particles are hell on mechanical stuff.

 

You would hate working with me, not only do I only have a single grinder and a well practiced wheel switching ritual, I also only have one outlet in my garage.

 

Not exactly the same. I got to visit the Indiana dewalt plant and they legit make some tools here in the states, not just assemble Chinese parts

 

Probably same parts ones just made in China and the other here. Also isnt craftsman now doing that assembled in USA advertising too?

 

How do you get by? I have so many damn grinders I trip over them working on the same project haha. Gotta make yourself an outlet snake.

 

The Walmart look

 

Yea they are, but there's a big difference between "assembled" and "made" technically over 50% of the entire product has to manufactured stateside to legally put the built label on it and I've only read craftsman doing the assembled sticker

 

Hell, at work I like 2-3 drills for the same project. One for pre drill, one for the actual hole size, one for the tap if required.

 

I'm not sure how I do it. This guy runs my drill press, the chop saw, the grinder, the vacuum and the jigsaw. Pretty much every thing else is battery.

Welder has a cord too, but that one is dedicated to the welder.




That snake might be a good idea...

 

Eh, I dont buy their stuff unless its for work. Milwaukee tools are my big exception to trying to buy US made tools. Until somebody here makes something better I'll stick with the red.

 

I despise those stlye plugs for that reason. Always exposed wires eventually.

 

But they're so handy when you inevitably shorten the cord with the hedge trimmer.

 

I wanna play

 

Yeah I use a lot of them at work. But overtime people pulling them with the cord rips the wires out.

 

Made myself some killer elk burgers for dinner. I don't think I've ever had them turn out this good

 

I made all my elk, I need more

 

that covid cut by yours truly.

 

Doggo says thank you
Good work Daddy
