Re: Must Have Tool...
1. Impact driver--my life got so much happier when I got this!
2. GOOD circular saw--I suffered for 2 years with the POS that I had before, got a new milwaukee a couple of months ago and can't believe I didn't get it sooner 3. Wooster extra firm 2-1/2" angled brush, I can't seem to cut a straight line without it |

Re: Must Have Tool...
Ridgid was my second one. first was a 12v black and decker from lowes clearance for 22 bucks. I still own it and use it quite a bit. Ridgid has been rebuilt 2 times but still sounds like its dead and smells like crap and works like crap

Re: Must Have Tool...
I forgot about the impacts, they could be added to any of my lists.
Dewalt 18v and Bosch PS40. I just wish I had more drill bits with the 1/4" hex drive on them, cause that's the only time I use my cordless drill. |
