Favorite power tool?

[DinkADunk]

Festool TDD12FX cordless drill and it's optional chucks. A great drill for getting into tight places with torque like a 15.6v system. Tied for second would be a Oneway 2436 Lathe, Minimax CU350 combination machine, or a Minimax MM-20 bandsaw; each has their own use and each are very pleasurable to use.

I like my Craftsman cordless. But I got a Porter Cable compressor and 3 nail gun kit recently. Can't wait to use it!

I also saw (no pun intended) a portable table saw with stand at Fleet for $100. Not too bad and very, very useful..

Only when its full of Beer

Have to many favorites, but I think my most versitile tool is my little Dremel. It has done jobs for me that no other tool made could even come close.

One shouldn't be surfing for funny posts on FM when you have a cold and laughing can start incessant coughing.

New favorite tool.....Hey, life changes.

Collins coping foot, if you do trim or crown and don't mind dedicating a Bosch jigsaw to it, you ARE missing out. Wish I would have bought it the first time I saw it, I would have saved myself a ton of time and wasted material.

I doesn't stay IN the shop but it helped me building the shop.

MY best tool:

Skidsteer loader.

I've had it for past 4 years and there isn't a day where I don't use it, I never knew how many things you can do with it and how much money it can save you, it pays by itself after a couple of years, in my case after 1 year.

If you live in the country and/or have acreage you've got to have one.

Val I've spent WAY too much time in mine the last few days. Really wishing I'd gone one size bigger!!!

[Valv]

You might want to consider that, I found out skidloaders don't depreciate much, and they don't have a "season" to buy or not, they are used all year around. You might be surprised you'll get same money you paid.

[Can'tFishEnuf]

DeWalt Bisquit Joiner. It's just a cool tool. However, I now fish too much to use it.

[eyewinder]

My wife sure likes to use the new Black & Decker rechargeable string-type weed trimmer that we just purchased. Hey, if she likes to use it, I plumb love it!

[papabear]

favorite power tool is my makita drill, light wieght, powerfull and has a light on it.

Favorite hand tool, bottle opener. It can turn screws, scrape paint, hammer, and pry open long necks when you are done with the wifes list.

[Kodiak]

cant live without my bosch compound miter slider love that thing!

[wayne123]

Mine would be the Vexilar. I would not fish without it unless I had a Marcum.

[MSRiverdog]

Makita 18V L-ion compact Drill and Driver kit.

My newest favorite tool I think, it's still in my testing stage, as of right now it gets an A+.

Put it on your Christmas list.

If you are really ready for a new one, check out the brand new Milwaukee 6538-21 Super Sawzall. If you are familiar with the previous Super Sawzalls, then you will love this one. 1 pound lighter than the previous and it has electronic feedback that increases power to the motor under load. This keeps your strokes per minute at the max and extremely fast cutting.

You will love it!!

Natebuddy, how did you hook up your right angle cordless drill to a auger for ice? did you use like a mora blade? also have you heard anything about that 4 1/2 cordless grinder for the V18? i seen that the one for V28 is out now...Thanks

[natebuddy]

I had an old lazer hand auger that I had my cousin (a machinest by trade) cut off the handle and machine it down to 1/2" and then he milled 3 sides of the cut piece so it wouldn't slip when I chucked it up in the 1/2" keyed chuck. As far as the V18 grinder, that is still up in the air. Haven't heard any dates for launches on the new tools. We are only told when it is due to launch within 3 months.

Plasma-cutter nothing like cutting through 1/4" metal like butter!

[NAMASafetyDirector]

Dewalt's 18v 1/2" cordless impact. We use them at work for just about everything and they are super handy around home in the shop as well. Skip the ratchet and get er' done!

[papabear]

My favorite power tool in working construction for 40 years as a plumber has to be the SAWZALL.Espically for remodeling.
