Yeah you know it's gonna hurt. I had to crank hard on it to get some calipers broke loose that my MG725 wouldn't touch. Flexed enough and when it budged I was glad I had the comfort grip. Still needed some gloves feels like hitting concrete with a bat. But it did the job.
Sent from my...
Yeah times have changed, back then Porter Cable was top notch, now its some of the worst you can buy.
I bought a Hitachi compound miter, it was 200 something maybe IIRC. I hate wood with a passion so I only use it when forced to for working on my house. If I wouldve bought a HF unit though I...
Its almost dumb how nice Cobra's are. I can never take anyone serious who will still claim a Channel Lock is better even after they use a Cobra. Most people are honest at last and say they buy the Channel Lock just because its American. Stupid IMO, you buy tools to get your job done. My...
They are pretty popular around here but one of the main things I see with a lot of people who would be buying them is the Patriots. The slightly older generation that is still very patriotic and does believe in spending the money for good tools that will last but everything's gotta be made in...
Yes lots of grinders.

Thats just the compact size ones they give us the privelage of buying in the US, they keep all of the good ones over there. The German ones all have a torque limiting clutch, then theres...
That it is, grinders and rotary hammers are their bread and butter but everything they make in Germany is top notch. They do have chinese stuff you have to watch out for though.
Every grinder I ever see or touch just feels like it should be on a shelf at Toy's R Us after having Metabo now...
We used to use all DeWalt 18v on the farm. It was a great system and actually with as fast a technology moves, it was sufficient for a lot of years. We switched to it from Makita stuff nearly 10 years ago. A lot of our stuff was getting worn and lost with the DeWalt and I decided it was time to...
Just a program our dealer started to get more Ag marketshare in WI. The first year they had 100 units made up of 226B3, 252B3 and 262C2's. Those are gone and they now have the 226B3 still as well as the 242D and 262D on Ag Special. Lots of dairy farms in our area and Bobcat and JCB had some...
Taking it back today, flipped the cab up quick to take a peek. Looks a lot cleaner underneath there, with the HVAC sealed to the cab theres a lot more space in the belly. The new hydro tank location looks like it let them re position the manifolds and route the hoses a little neater and keep...
Cat likes to have their name on everything, they did the same with the Mitsubishis and the Perkins. They have never had an actual "Cat" motor in their SSL's. If you look hard enough you will find Kubota in a few spots. Its the newest version of the 3300 that the Bobcat's used to run, the bigger...
Got a chance to Demo a 262D for a few days, figured I would post some of the things I noticed with it now that I got a chance to actually see one in person and use it.
From looking at one from a distance, you notice the new boom design and rear end design but they do not appear to really be...
Back running on the tanker again now, didn't get a chance to ask them what was wrong with the DEF but they had it fixed fast. They also turned on my strobe lights since I wired them into the factory beacon wiring, but the tractor did not come from teh factory with beacons, thus the CAN system...
Opti Coat is working great. Washed it today and the road grime came off effortlessly on the coated panels and the water sheeted off leaving minimal beading behind and no sheet of ice like the uncoated panels that did not shed the water as easily.
Here's a beading picture.
Did have a minor...
