Not everything's a conspiracy, and not everyone is a shill. I have Milwaukee, Ryobi, Black & Decker, and Sun Joe(don't judge me, it was a gift from my dad who can't swing a hammer). And the Milwaukee and Ryobi are lifetime's ahead of the other two. Ryobi is great as a homeowner, and Milwaukee is even better. Having said that, looking at project farm videos, the average non-autist would never be able to tell a difference between the two. Sun Joe and Black & Decker clearly suck though.

Back to the topic, I fucking love this Hackzall. I've wanted a sawzall for awhile, but I just can't justify it because this has done everything I've ever needed it to do. And yes, I took a pic just for you >>2940987

>>2941187
>I fucking love this Hackzall
hands down the best one on the market based entirely on shape and power. i've cut cast iron plenty of times. you can flip the blade around for better ergonomics in some rare situations
you can also put hacksaw blades in them, which i think is cool. cut them to whatever size

anyway i love my electric sun joe pressure washer and the pole chainsaw hasn't let me down. i use them rarely as fuck tho, so i consider it a banger deal

if it isn't a daily tool taking abuse, ryobi is great most of the time. black and decker is just ass though.

got this along with the hammerdrill/driver in a packout case with two big batteries on clearance a long ass time ago, I think I paid like $200 or something.

with a set of socket adapters I have no idea how I ever worked on cars without it, I love my impact bros. I also have its bigger brother the 1/2" impact wrench but hardly use it because this thing somehow breaks off almost anything I can find.

Not bad, but I can't use it in drawers since the Mexicans that slap them together sink the screws in the corner so I just hit the reverse button all the time. The m12 drill is solid, though I dislike using it with hole saws. Best tool is the first two weeks on a brand new tape measure

The DCF891B 1/2" impact wrench has been a pleasure every time I used it.

I've had an M18 high torque impact driver and an M12 impact driver fail on me in the last 12 months. Both were within warranty, but it took weeks for them to get my replacements back. Never buying that shit again.

the GOAT hammer

So light, so wieldy. So whippy. I love to whip it out every chance I get, just like my bwc. Such perfect dimensions, the perfect claw. I don't like the waffle pattern in the striking head, i would prefer smooth, but it's not a problem

I don't know the difference between regular chuck drills and impact drivers. Thensmaller one is more powerful? Why not just always use that with a chuck insert?
>>
>>2942074
An electric impact driver will drill easy stuff like a 4mm hole in some MDF, but once it loads up it'll start hammering on whatever you're trying to drill because, surprise, it's a fucking impact driver. Trying to use it as a drill is how you snap or break shit.

A drill just drills.

Miller's Falls No. 734 3/4” Heavy Duty Drill.

Runs on DC or AC power at 110 volts. Will handle AC anywhere from 25 to 60 hertz. 3/4th inch chuck. 26 pounds in weight and 22 inches back to front. Kicks like a mule and will straighten out your twist drill bits before it stalls.

Since we're shilling milwaukee itt, their cordless skilsaw (the one with the lock, not a safety) is the only cordless I'd use over a corded saw. Expensive as shit for a cordless saw but after working for a company that had a couple I had to get my own.
>>
>>2942004
Is it hardened or can you just grind the head and polish it smooth?
Why do "pro" hammers have waffle pattern anyway?
>>
>>2942222
It helps keep the hammer from sliding off the nail head when you strike it.

What rpm does it run though? Bad thing about those big old drills is they still turn too fast to properly run a big hole saw at the correct sfm... And they're not variable speed.

What the fuck does that have to do with the hole saw turning too fast? I can hold it fine, Just you will burn up your holesaw teeth in steel when not turning at the proper speed dumbass.

Well, that company certainly has the "repeat buyer" market locked down.
>>
>>2943522
They're probably fine for when you need to do that 2-3 times a year.

They won't hold up to constant use.
>>
>>2943539
400 RPM. Never chucked up a hole saw in it. I have put a morse taper on it and had a 2 and a half inch twist drill bit in there.
>>
>>2943716
Nice. A lot of the big old drills have 600-750ish rpm speed and that's just too damn fast. I'd prefer to have one with around 200-250rpm and with variable speed would be awesome for ~4" hole saws in steel, but haven't really found anything like that yet... A lot of the big old air vane drills off e-bay don't list the rpm of the drill, but that's probably where I'll eventually find one.
>>
>>2943668
Ive only had it 6 months so no clue about long term durability, but the shartmart electric ratchet has been a trooper for me for a year now including using it to loosen some pretty tight bolts.
It does have a warranty, but even if i had to buy a new one every year I'd still be ahead.
The issue with the cheapies is usually shitty battery packs in my experience, and those are really cheap to replace.

I like the surge, it's my default 'bringing a tool with me' in a packout full of bits and driver ends and random sockets-commonly-used just bouncing about, lightweight and gets most random shit done.

>>2940987
I figure they'll all fuck me. I'm planning on ripping apart the housing on the ones that seem easy enough to reassemble and taking the lids off my packouts so I can blast them all with spraypaint to make them less Steal Me Red.

>>2941971
My fear of painting the tools themselves is about this part though: I have on a couple occasions walked into Homo Depot during the day with a broken M18 tool (blew out an m18 impact driver and I think the other was a light or something) and shown the customer service desk and they just let me go grab a new tool-only box off the shelf. I don't think they checked my Pro account or anything, if it's mid day and your clothes are covered in drywall mud and bullshit and you seem hurried they basically let you do anything. I get that they're a big box but they're the closest store to me so being on first name basis with the shift managers is comfy.
>>
>>2945573
It cuts well (5x4mm2 was easy), strips well (even stranded wire), grips well, crimps adequately and has long and narrow ends which lets you maneuver wires in the distribution box pretty well

And the best thing is that I don't have to switch tools, especially for the cutting-stripping-gripping combo

>Milwaukee M12 Fuel Impact Driver

I got one several years ago at a yard sale with charger & 2 batteries for $20. Ex-gf selling off abandoned ex-bf tools. It's great, so handy for removing deck screws. Bought new M12 drill motor, it 100% my go-to. Also bought set of Shockwave bits for $19.95 on Project Farm test results. Several years later, still using same set, no broken or worn out ones. Bought Aliexpress "6.0AH" M12 battery for $20 shipped. Don't know if actually 6.0AH but it lasts longer than job every time I used it.
>>
Most used hand tool in my tool wrap. More grip than needlenose, fits nearly as many places.
>>
>>2945650
>>2945561
I want these but for 50 europesos seems like knipex is trying to jew me. Also they got humbled pretty hard on project farm locking pliers testing.
Sure it was a stamped tool but it performed on par with chinkshit and the supposedly hardened teeth couldn't grip anything worth a shit, pretty disappointing and definitely not expected, maybe they should lay low with their social media shilling and go back to produce tools with autistic german quality control rather than employing darkies and turks on their factories.

As much as it pains me to say those usa made eagle grips were fucking outstanding.

Wanted to have sex with this long t-handle chain wrench I made today after it pulled a valve from a frost free hydrant off 4' down in a hole where I couldn't reach by hand unless I dug out a bunch more dirt... Normally they come out with the old hydrant, but this one rotted off right above the valve.

Already had the t-handle in my pile of shit, and the piece of old roller chain laying around. Longest part of the process was just freeing up the roller chain so it swiveled nicely again before welding it onto the t-handle...

Pic rel is business end of chain wrench and the rotted off piece of shit hydrant that caused this disaster...
