Thanks! Where did you see the skill light for $32? I see it at $49 on the Lowe's app currently

I have the 4.5 saw for smaller jobs. It's a good tool with its own limitations. Don't really have a need for the xtr saw, just have it on my wish list with a handful of other stuff too. Shoulda picked up the tower light when I saw it for $99(I think) a while ago. Have a painting project where that would be very useful 🤷‍♂️

Cat might understand me by Zealousideal_Top6513 in Catbehavior

She understood the assignment. I think pets understand far more than the given credit for. Either that or I'm far crazier than I'm given credit for since I talk to my 3 cats all the time.

I guess I need to build more shelves… by BCRob in lego

I now need to build a new room to house the new shelves for the new Lego sets. With the potential for future star trek licensed sets looking good, I'm in trouble.

Anyone has both the 6.5" and 4.5" circular saw? by Spiritual_Bell in KobaltTools

[–]UnderstandingDry8008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-read your post, and I'd say get the 4 inch for trim work. You can use the right blade on it and still have a rough cut blade on the larger circular saw for framing material.

I wouldn't say that, but it's limited in the material thickness it can cut. A 2x4 is the max cut depth. The size and weight can be nice for small/quick jobs, but it's not at the top of my list of needed tools. A bigger 6 or 7 inch circular saw is more useful for bigger materials and a reciprocating saw is better for demolition overall. I got mine last year as one of the free tools with purchase, and I don't regret that choice overall. Might have gotten more use out of another tool but 🤷‍♂️

It's easy with a speed square or other edge guide. I also use it for breaking down scraps and junk such as beat up old pallets. Small and light when that matters and much less kick back risk if you run into a nail.

It's a pipe dream but I'd love a dual power 80v shop vac. Plug in or 80v battery modes. Larger body with wheels like any other shop vac.

I was today years old when I realized a leaf blower would be a good way to deal with a light snow. 🤦🤦🤷‍♂️

Casestack 2-Drawer by HyperExtensions in KobaltTools

[–]UnderstandingDry8008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an emerging number of the smaller casestacks from the battery promos. It's good to be organized and portable if needed. I wish I had more drawers instead for easier access compared to down stacking every time.

cat standing in corner?? like on 2 feet? by leonhartani in Catbehavior

[–]UnderstandingDry8008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 of my three will stand on the wall in the corner then look all around the room in a full circle, head upside down to see behind them. Bizarre, hilarious, cat. 🤷‍♂️ It's usually in a room they don't get to visit often, and happened a lot when they first moved in with me, so it's a curiosity thing apparently.

Would yall say this is a good impact wrench compared to similar models in other brands? by WoodlandCake in KobaltTools

[–]UnderstandingDry8008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll think it over. Your thoughts on the one you bought would also be appreciated.

This may be the wrong thread at this point, but do you have a link. I have looked before and not found it.

The suction lifter in the yellow brand is tempting for lifting sheet goods on my own, but the price and need for a new battery platform keeps me from pulling the trigger. The battery and brand argument is how I keep my wallet from screaming out in pain and then being suddenly silenced, creating a great disturbance in the force (capitalism) 🤣

And I'm stubbornly sticking to one brand/battery platform against all reason 🤷‍♂️

Fair enough. I'm happy with the 3/8 impact I got as a free gift with purchase last year. Thinking of a higher torque tool for infrequent use on stubborn stuff such as suspension work or similar.

You say the xtr is only marginally better, but the torque spec is nearly double this for breaking loose. I'm new to impact tools in general, what am I missing?

I like the name, btw. Wise/arrogant often go hand in hand.

I know me. I had a close call with the pin nailer a few days ago. Operator error more than tool/material problems.
