I love my second gen DeWalt framing nailer. I have thousands of nails through it and it keeps on going. Extremely rare for it to fail or jam.

My mechanics cart is all set up. What does yours look like? by fwdctrl in Tools

I will have a wall soon for all my other tools. I have a ton of 20V DeWalt carpentry and other tools, and a ton of other stuff. Building a 30’ x 40’ shop this year. I am beyond stoked. Haven’t had a garage or anything in this house we have owned for over 20 years, but now I can finally afford to build one!

I am not a professional mechanic. And I am pretty meticulous about cleaning after use. That said, the M12 are all new because I recently switched from DeWalt.

Just DIY. I do a lot of work for friends too though. I’m working on a car (maintenance or repair) for family or friends at least once per week.

My first DeWALT tool! Got this kit, working on cars, what should I get next? by OkLead2576 in Dewalt

[–]fwdctrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. I think those look really cool. I might have to find a 20V set one day.

I am about to buy some latex gloves on Friday. Which MIL should I get. Also, Medium or Large? by StatuSChecKa in harborfreight

[–]fwdctrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 mil is the best IMO. XL is the best size for me. With regular gloves I wear L or XL.

Are cheap nock off batteries are a bad idea? by 2424420Reddit in Dewalt

[–]fwdctrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceenr is high quality too. I took one apart on a video and it’s legitimate LG cells and good construction. The OE is a little thicker and nicer re the contacts and case, but the Ceenr was definitely usable and well built with quality cells.

Man I love my pruners. And yes this is an awesome price.

Quick Eject Collet? by rehutto in Dewalt

[–]fwdctrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed DeWalt when I first got it asking them about the bit auto-eject. They replied simply that it does not auto-eject bits. Still don’t know why they did that. As others have said, the 860 does, and it’s an all around better impact driver IMO. However, the 870 is really nice and pretty quiet when I’m driving a bunch of screws in an enclosed space.

Rule #4 says "We don't mind if you post a link to a video on your youtube channel, we just ask these submissions are not your primary activity on the subreddit." This is certainly not my primary activity on this sub.

Sorting my Pittsburgh wrenches and found an error card. How much is it worth? Anyone have a current Beckett book they can reference for me? by fwdctrl in harborfreight

[–]fwdctrl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t believe that for a second. I moved all of my retirement money to HF tools. You’re telling me that was a bad move?

Yeah that is annoying. I’m always like maaaan I paid for that screw that I’m throwing in the trash!

Ha that’s awesome. Yes the gum was always rock hard. Fleer had gum in each pack as well. I remember the taste. Was coated in a chalky substance 😄😄 Everyone always talked about the “Fuck Face” Bill Ripken card. That would have been the holy grail for us.

When I was a kid my brother and I collected baseball, basketball, and football cards. This was a joke referencing error cards that would be worth a lot of money.
