I really really hope the DeWalt DWS780 goes on sale somewhere for Father’s Day (or Prime Day), although I know it probably won’t. … but if by some miracle it does, then someone please post a link to it in this thread. I want one so bad. The normal price is $599 and I think the lowest I’ve seen outside an occasional eBay listing is like $521.

It's probably not most father's day deals are posted. And prime day is full of poo poo like save 20 cents on a lightbulb and fidget toy combo.

What’s a good paint sprayer for like a deck and shed? I use solid stain (aka paint) for the deck. Tired of hand brushing the deck and railing spindles. Even if it doesn’t last as long I’m willing to just do it more often.

I’ve got a Kobalt 21 inch 80v and couldn’t be happier with it. My lawn is tiny tho and even the 2 and 2.5 mah batteries that I have for it will mow it 4+ times.

Slugworth posted:Have they been posted already? Google just brings me to a home depot page saying "stay tuned for father's day sales" Maybe not all I assume that this close to fathers day you're not going to see much of a sale on anything anymore, you'll see maybe 1 more push of instore stuff this sunday. I highly doubt I.m.geis spesificly requested miter saw is hitting a sale. So the Vibe form the thread is. Ryobi, Kobalt, Ego are all decent mowers / ecosystems for outdoor power tools and one should pick whichever is available to them, and has the tools they want. For Ryobi.. is there a difference in the "normal" 40v vs the HP/High performance 40v. I think someone's trying to get me something for fathers day but I dunno if the brushless trimmer Which comes with HP battery I think (later attaching a tiller for smaller garden) should go brushless for the 70 dollar price increase. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Jun 8, 2021 |

Just received a Voltclaw tool which I saw on a YouTube video and immediately fell in love with. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but it feels great and will save me so many cuts and curses working with outlets and j boxes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G4CM96K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_4VXE52YV0DBZDXPJ73C0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have a VoltClaw Multi-Gauge in my bag. It's useful for working in boxes, and drat useful for when you have no choice but to do something live*, because some lazy installer couldn't put a disconnect on the panel. *Edit: 120v max, anything higher It gets shut off.

I don't know how much localization Home Depots website does but they don't even show the Ryobi days or other memorial day sales when I look. I had thought maybe they weren't doing it where I live, outside CONUS, but when I went to go pick up something I discovered big displays showing deals their website didn't show.

Well if anyone notices any sales having to do with Ryobi 40v batteries, I'd appreciate a heads up. New yard's too big for my Ryobi mower to finish in one charge, and those batteries are stupid expensive.

Regular latex paint will have to be thinned with these types.

I have a detached garage that's in terrible shape. I just got done tearing the interior down to the studs, including all of the ceiling panels that were hiding rat poop as though it had been blown in like insulation. Now I'm reckoning with the exterior, I'm thinking that since I'm gonna redo all the siding I'd to use it as an excuse to go all in on an air compressor. My garage is about 10x19, I'm never going to park a car in it and would like to turn it into a workshop. I'm going to be running a nail gun and I'd like to be able to run a paint sprayer to paint all the new siding, I'd also like to be able to run an impact wrench to work on my car. I just don't know a lot about air compressors, I've only ever used electric tools. I have some home depot gift cards and I'd like to be able to use them if I can. I've been looking at the following compressors: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-20-Gal-200-PSI-Oil-Free-Portable-Vertical-Electric-Air-Compressor-C202H/312074157 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-27-Gal-200-PSI-Oil-Free-Portable-Vertical-Electric-Air-Compressor-C271H/312074154 If I go with the cheaper one, am I going to regret it? Am I totally off base looking at electric compressors? Are either of these really enough to run a paint sprayer?

My garage is about 10x19, I'm never going to park a car in it and would like to turn it into a workshop. I'm phone posting from the pub so this might not be as comprehensive as if I were not on the piss and had an actual keyboard. Not 100@% sure about spray guns, but for impacts and air ratchets, 20 gallons is about the minimum tank size you want. This based on a bit of reading I did several years ago when my boss was considering a compressor for our shop at work. You should look at the cfm for the impact you have or are planning to buy and get a compressor that had a little bit more than that cfm wise. I'macts usually have two cfm ratings. One at like 40-50 psi and another about 90-100ish psi. Also, I've always heard that oil free compressors are inferior to oiled. But maybe That's in a professional setting where it's being used constantly.

For a single job like that I think you can get by, but it may be quicker to roller it on, if I'm being honest.

It's fine for the rest. Then buy an airless sprayer for the siding.

So, dumb question: can you use a paint brush for quite different things? Like, I'm going to be painting interior walls, but also want to stain a solid wood countertop to turn into a desk. As long as I clean the brush well, could I use it for all of these things?

Yeah just make sure you are not dipping the brush into your stain or paint can. Pour out what you plan to use into a separate container and you won't risk contaminating the entire supply.

Yeah, I'd just wipe the stain on with a rag. It's cheaper than a second brush, it doesn't risk cross contamination, and it works better for the purpose.
