I'm into DIY projects by my parents, so basically its to paint metal windows and gates when I finish build them to get a little more of a professional look.
I saw the one in Pricemart, but the brand I not sure about.

cool.
those dont usually produce enough constant pressure for painting tho but i guess u wont care too much for little drips on a gate or window frame as opposed to a flat surface like a wall

didnt wanted to start a new thread....

Does anyone know where sells 4-ft LED Flourescent lights locally?

Anyone using those and have any feedback?

thanks

Sanctifier helped Noah build the ark with one of these so he knows what he's sayin..

Sorry Uncle sancti, I hadda laugh when ah see this.......

[Sanctifier]

^ ^ ^ No problem.

[shade360]

good deal after the 25$ discount....may cost less than 850 landed
studying to order it

anyone uses the 12v line?

reviews/opinions?

I have the Bosch driver/impact driver about 2 years now and can tell with utmost certainty you cant go wrong with their 12v line. These 2 guys are used more that any other tool i have. 10/10.

Regarding the 12v Hammer Drill/Driver, i opted for the Milwaukee cuz of the extra RPM and BPM over the Bosch, however since using it, the extra RPM, BPM may be negligible as they are very closely matched. Almost never take out the Milwaukee 9 Amp corded anymore. Another 10/10 in my book

The versatility and power-to-size of these units are amazing. Hope you decide to pull the trigger, you always be looking for an opportunity to whip out your tool, wont be disappointed.

Looking to get one of these 6 Gallon pancake air compressor.

Bhagwansingh sell out, even in the similar models as well. Due to the weight I don't think it will be feasible to skybox. Anywhere else I can get one?

A1 Tools in San Juan (638-1362) have the PC Pancake compressor for around $700-800, saw it there when i picked up my compressor.

Hope this info was helpful

Also known as most accident prone tool, just above table saws.
I still chicken to use my new brand dewalt table saw.

BTW pugboy blade guard kits are available for less than US $125 shipped (eBay) for increased user safety.

Wonder why they were phased out (All the "big name" brands stop making updated versions)... Anyone?

^ ^ ^ In addition to the Original Saw Co. it looks like DeWalt themselves are back in the game...

Link--> Dewalt Dw721Kn Radial Arm Saw 300 mm 2000 Watt.

That one's from the UK so it's 50 cycle. You need a 60 cycle unit, so look for an equivalent US model.
The point is that new units start at US $7,542.37 ---> UP!!! ...(+ SHIPPING!!!)
...while DIYers can get a perfectly good unit for much less than US $400 + shipping on eBay.
... and spare parts are still plentiful on eBay for most older models too.
Once you have the room for it, this is a "no brainer" decision IMHO.

My $0.02¢

[shade360]

All things considered, i ended up pulling the trigger with the Dewalt DWS780, for me it came down really to my lack of knowledge and hands-on experience using a Radial Arm Saw. Certain i would have been seriously more inclined to Radial Arm had i the exposure and didn't have to lug it around sometimes.

Sanctifier: Which brand of Radial Arm Saw you got, the Original Saw Co.?

I'm looking for a good 6-8" benchtop jointer btw, any ideas/recommendations?

[Xplode]

was watching a line of ODB II auto scanners online what the best to buy ,from expensive to cheap ones.

[Ted_v2]

I'm using a low end autel scanner and it's working excellent. From xtrail gt to b15 and even new model Hondas.

Post price how much you willing to spend

Original Saw Co.?... Nope, I can't afford an Original Saw or DeWalt for US $7,500 or more!
Especially when great eBay deals are available for less than US $400.

I inherited my ol' man's DeWalt 1030 when he passed away in 2010. Sample pix... Nope it's a lot worse than these!


It needs a complete restoration so I bought a lot of eBay spares...

'325' frame motor... Yolk... Bearings... Jig-saw attachment... etc. etc.

This 1956 MBF restoration is my motivation...


good 6-8" benchtop jointer... I don't know much about jointers, I'm afraid.
All I can do is suggest "pro brands" that I know like Delta or Walker Turner. I don't know if they have benchtop models.
These guys are some of the "pros". These reviews may help instead...

This ac pro with tool gauge to read your vehicle ac system , I'm able to get a lot to bring back Trini ,you can top up or re gas your system ,it seals leaks too is this a good investment ,saying a can will cost $240 TTD .

And yes I know about the ac gas license required have it already,the gauge and connector hose on top is reusable .

I passed by them (trincity branch) over the weekend.. didn't see much variety in the Grinders.

They had a few very large "professional" ones and one Dewalt for $500.00 - think it was 4 inch..
