Just a heads up for anyone with Black and Decker power tools. I found out that if one of the batteries on my 24v Firestorm B&D set goes bad and you try and charge it, it will kill the included charger. If you buy the same charger it will kill that one too. Make sure you buy a charger that has a bad battery detection. It's about $10 more but it will save you a lot of headache and frustration.

I meant to post this earlier. Lowes has the Porter Cable 3-Amp Oscillating Tool Kit for 1/2 off, only $49. It's a similar too to their $99 kit just with less added accessories. http://www.lowes.com/pd_591294-70-PCE606K_0__?productId=50158929&Ntt=ocsilating+tool&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Docsilating%2Btool&facetInfo= There was a coupon for $10 also but it looks like it's not working anymore. Today is the last day of the sale. I used it this weekend to trim some baseboards and it worked wonderfully.

stubblyhead posted:I don't have that set in particular, but I do have a similar DeWalt set. I always consider those to be consumables, particularly the Phillips bits. If you don't have anything at all I'd go ahead and get it, it looks like it's got a decent selection. Torx bits are a nice inclusion, that's one thing my set is missing that I wish it had. More drill bits is another, which this set seems to have covered also. Now that I think of it I have plenty of philips bits and need more drill bits and could use a couple spade bits. Maybe I'll grab that Craftsman set posted earlier.

It's time to look at upgrading my 12v Porter Cable drill/driver I bought about a decade ago and I'm looking at two kits from HD this Fathers Day. M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact Drill/Impact Combo Kit (2-Tool) W/ (2) 2.0Ah Batteries, Charger & Bag M12 FUEL 12-Volt Li-Ion Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit (2-Tool)w/ Free M12 3/8 in. Ratchet I like the size/weight of my current 12v set and have only run into a handful of situations where I had to pull out my corded drill. However, upgrading to the 18v sounds real tempting too. Anything else I should be looking at? I can probably go up to $300 if it's a good deal.

Harry Potter on Ice posted:fwiw I get a ton more use out of my 18v driver and that upgrade was much more noticeable than the drill which I use less. I felt like I needed to charge my makita 12v much more often than my dewalt 18v as well, If you plan on any medium/heavy use with the driver I'd go 18v Yeah, I figure if I was going to upgrade I would at least make it worth the money and do the 18v. This Rigid kit looks interesting too 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver 2-Tool Combo Kit with (2) 4.0Ah Batteries, Charger

Thanks for the recommendations everyone, I went to HD and picked up the Milwaukee m12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit that came with a 2.0mah and 4.0mah battery for $199 plus picked up an additional 6.0mah battery as the "free tool" included in the promo. Also for a heads up, the free tool in the promo has a return value of $60 printed on the receipt meaning if you don't need any of the free bonus tools you can return it after purchase and get the drill/driver kit for only $140

You can return the free tool for a specified value on the receipt and keep the Hackzall. Should being the price down to $110-130 depending on the free tool.

Is there a recommended budget/entry level table saw? I have an old Ryobi I bought >10 years ago and it's trashed so I'd like to get something a little better. I have a bunch of DIY home projects planned this year but after that it will only will get used maybe once or twice a year normally. Looking to keep it under $400 if possible.

I have an Milwaukee M12 Fuel circular saw but I'd like to get a bigger saw for larger jobs. I have an old Skil saw I used this weekend but it's, old, way off alignment and at some point I severed the cord pretty bad. I'm all in on M12 so if I got 18/20v I would be buying new ecosystem. There's a good deal on a Craftsman 20v Brushless model at Lowe's that comes with a free battery/charger, or should I be looking at corded instead like a good quality DeWalt or Skillsaw? The only thing that would nudge me toward the Craftsman is that I might want to upgrade my outdoor tools some point in the future and the Craftsman has many of the tools I would want.

tater_salad posted:I always recommend Ryobi for the average home user. The price is right and the list of tools is huge. for common tools (drills, impact drivers) they also have low mid and high end tools for what fits your need. Other than that you're looking at DeWalt Makita and Milwaukee, what color looks better. Lowe’s hasn’t killed off Kobalt quite yet but it’s definitely been deprecated since their Craftsman acquisition. If you’re married to buying from Lowe’s you should be able to find a Craftsman equivalent to nearly anything Ryobi has available.

Ego is top tier but Ryobi's offerings are perfectly serviceable for the average homeowner. Kobalt makes decent mowers although no one really talks about their other yard tools. Really depends on how much yard you need to take care of. Milwaukee (no mower) and DeWalt also make decent yard equipment if you're already in or want to join that ecosystem. edit: As far as battery powered tillers is seems to only be Kobalt that makes anything worth while so that might limit your options.

The most obvious difference between the 779 and 780 is the XPS shadow light which, as others note, you can add after the fact AS OF THIS WRITING. Dewalt has a habit of updating individual parts of a saw (you will see references to Type 1, Type 2, etc.), and from one sub-version to the next you could lose or gain features...it is even possible that one subtype might be upgradable and another is not. Case in point, the older non-sliding 12" dual bevel DW716 is upgradable and can have the XPS shadow light added to it....the latest DW716 cannot.

Is there some secret to storing my growing collection of hand tools that isn't "throw them in a box and hope you can ever find them again"? Otherwise I'm looking at Harbor Freight's tool chests because they seem way cheaper than other offerings, but it still seems like a lot of money to spend to store wrenches and pliers and screwdrivers. Tools chests are one of those "buy it once, own it for life" items and are therefore priced accordingly. Harbor Freight's offerings are a great value, you can't go wrong with them.
