Before Jet bought Powermatic, Powermatic was most definitely the better quality tool. However the Jet line has benefited substantially from the purchase.

Whether it was of a sexual nature, or just drewl from him constantly running at the mouth is uncertain.

I'm relatively certain the above mentioned stain on -=her=- bedspread was made by skylab.

I was not aware of the Ridgid lifetime battery warranty. My tool repairman told me to avoid all Ridgid cordless tools when they first came out. He said the batteries were blowing up, and very early in their life cycle. I imagine they've resolved this problem by now, and this may have something to do with the decision to offer this warranty. The only problem I see is that batteries change so frequently now, so availability might still be limited, once your drill gets a little old. Nice incentive at any rate.

Well if it makes you feel better, most of those nifty sounding features never get used anyway. I definitely adhere to the KISS principle when it comes to tools with moving parts. Nice damn saw Marc!

Yeah Nate, this combo was $199.00. The drill alone was $159.00, so the combo was a no brainer. There is a double life battery option available for $118.00, but it's twice the size of the stock battery, and the stock battery has a decent life. My 36v DeWalt batteries are like $150.00 ea., and my 24v Bosch are over a C-note. Sometimes it makes more sense financially to buy a whole new drill, although that's not a very Green alternative.

Kevin, can you offer different anodizing choices, and name it after a military aircraft? Milspec parts might be another good idea. Oh, and fatter wires for the bigger bass's to pass through.

Somebody needs to 'splain that one to me. It's over my head.

Quest for the holey Grado? This one could have Harrison Ford teaming up with Tom Hanks.

Well, are you trying to build suspense, or do we get to know what fucking saw it is you chose?

I've heard of it being done. If you're only planning on using speaker amps it's not a problem. Might effect resale a bit, but that too is really not a big issue.

Al, you may have a different kind of drilling and dark space in mind.

I concur. Add duct tape and a bottle of Chloroform, and you've got yourself a Reksy travel kit.

DSS - 200 CD Case - DSS200CD-SILVER - Buy.com Free shipping too. Just bought two.

Where ever did they source enough hot glue for the line arrays? Selling is so 2009. The new hip trend is to give them away. First dibs!

That's a lot of porn!

Happiest of happy Birthdays ol' chap. Have a steak and kidney pie and a pint on me, or something of the sort.

I just bought a new Porter Cable 18v Li-Ion set w/impact gun. The impact gun is really sweet for driving 3" or longer screws, but eats up battery life a lot quicker than the drill. Most of the new 18v Li-Ion drills are as lightweight now as the old 14.4v used to be. I too like the LED light for working in dark spaces.

Why not. I'll take your K1000 when you give up on headphones.

All in all it sounds like good news Nate. Glad to hear it.

I believe you're missing something there Sir. Perhaps the shovel cut it off.

Are you impugning my masculinity Sir?

Wish I were there to lend a hand. I actually love assembling tools. Can't wait to see the new place Marc!

The donkey show isn't all it's cracked up to be. I saw one in Matamoros when I was in college. I puked. Marc, nice saw buddy! I may end up farming out some re-saw work to you. Nate, nice saw as well. I'm as happy when my buddies buy tools, as I am when I buy them. Didn't see that one coming.

It might be a good idea to introduce yourself first. Read your welcome PM, it'll save you lots of grief.
