Soo what allyuh get for the Christmas?? The electric impact wrench I was watching didn't go on sale

[Arcmanov]

Can anyone recommend a good cordless drill (available locally) that can be used for general 'around the house and car' work?

Also, a good, compatible attachment kit with hole saws included?

[Strugglerzinc]

See 3 posts up from LD&G. Sale done but anything from the Milwaukee M Fuel line is good.

Dont get trapped buying any NiCad tool in this day and age.

You can take a walk through the bosch and dewalt section at allied home centre amd see if u find something that suits your needs

[NR8]

Allied also has the hole saws, separate and in kits.

[Ted_v2]

What I love about them is that. Their prices are super cheap on some items and some are super expensive. Plenty good deals

[supercharged turbo]

What you find super expensive?

[Ted_v2]

Plenty odd stuff.

Can't recall.

[supercharged turbo]

So far everything i buy seems reasonable.Then again i only buy tools and that is where the deals are lol

[Ted_v2]

True lol.
Went to check out a simple mirror. The sales person said 2700$ .for a simple mirror with a frame with a decorative molding.
Plenty good deals there still.


I'm looking at buying a cutting torch soon.
Anyone have insite as to what to look for?

Should I piece together the kit. Meaning regs. Hoses and a tip?

Only once I saw a kit complete with everything but it was cheap Chinese stuff.

Looking at propane with oxygen.

[NR8]

From the name it sounds like a beast lol. Give some deets nah..source, power, price, etc

[pugboy]

Cheap refurb from ebay

Cuts rhs nice and clean

[X_Factor]

thats the best thing for RHS hands down....say goodbye chop saw, unless its thicker stuff

[NR8]

What was the cost to ship pugboy? Price looking good.

[X_Factor]

if you just using it strictly for rhs and thinner this will work pretty good in a regular circular saw

Any recommendations

[racedriverpro]

[pugboy]

[ADONI]

Wanted to buy this, but it out of stock now. Ah vex and it was cheaper than on Amazon listed price.
110 welder would only weld sheet metal, window profile and thin RHS.

If you're serious about Tig keep in mind that DC only TIG can't do aluminum. I was in the market for a Tig machine a couple months ago and bypassed the Everlast and other cheaper Chinese machines after reading alot of bad reviews on them, especially Everlast and Longevity machines. They also have very low duty cycles.

I ended up going with a HTP 221 with water cooler. This is a re-badged Stel 221. Italian made.

If your budget doesn't allow for that check out the Hobart EZ-TIG 165i

Very nice quality entry level machine, AC/DC TIG.
