The Tools Every Carpenter WANTS

[@MrBojem3a]

This thing is fantastic. kzbin.infoUgkx1McjgiqTNcTjrhvRvJWcrk5bzTeQW-Wn Easy to store in a bag in "screwdriver" position, not heavy but well built, and the location of the button makes it easy to screw or unscrew with one hand in either "gun" or "screwdriver" position. My only real complaint is there isn't a clip anywhere to store another bit, and the bit isn't a combo dual-ended bit either, so the flathead and P1/P0 philips bits we have to carry around invariably get misplaced.Note: Apparently Black + Decker changed this same Li2000 model from "Type 2" to "Type 3". This new "Type 3" appears to be slightly lighter, and the charging plug is now larger, with a little metal piece to keep it snug. I never noticed the "Type 2" version charger plug to not be perfectly snug, so not sure why this change was made - it does make it annoying that our shop now has 8 of these, and the new 3 have different charging plugs :/

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

I was thinking the same, that it’d be awesome for a mitre saw especially the ones that use 2 batteries at a time because if your setup for a full day you can have batteries on rotation but if your right next to a power point why not use the adapter. Genius product!

[@timwillmot4941]

it's awsome I now only have to by the one tool going forward and I can use it for both corded or cordless even for those tools that you think you would never use either way like once all my batteries were flat and I had afew more concrete fixings before leaving site. I thought damn now I have to wait for a battery then I realized I can just use the cord. and then there are tool like my tablesaw where I thought who needs a battery one but I got it anyway and when I was up at my mates farm doing work on our duck shooting mimi I pulled it out put the batt in and was ripping down wet roughsawn 10x2. no longer do I by corded tools

[@chrisestill8825]

@@SirGatras It only works for the 120v miter saw that uses 2 60v batteries. I can't believe they didn't make one for the table saw as well. My reciprocating saw needs it for doing demo work. Instead I had to buy a corded model as well.

I run the mafell KSS400 with small solid track i bought the flex frack which is fantastic for shortish cuts such as trimmed doors etc. Added Bosch solid trachs (same as mafell but cheaper ) and a 600mm short track makes this set up a complete system! Really hard to beat. Cross cut saw, standard circular saw, door trimmer long bevel cuts for closing stile on doors. And a panel saw add the bench dogs rail square and you've got a really good multi purpose plunge/circular/cross cut saw system. Love mine and it goes on every job! Mafell expensive but by far the best.

[@Momoka7]

3:00 I never ever in all my life got to a point, where I really NEED... a cable free tool. The thing that is ALWAYS there... is electricity. Yes we can make a argument about you not wanting to deal with cables... but it is not like there is no electricity available. I dislike battery driven power tools... they are usually not as strong, or long lasting then a plugged in one. Plus the batteries deteriorate and not provide as much running time as a new one, not to forget sooner or later all you can do with the battery is trash it and buy a new one.

[@MrTherbst]

You need to educate yourself.Some battery tools have MORE power than corded tools.

[@Momoka7]

@@MrTherbst But that "more power" is not because of the battery. It is because they use a different electrical motor and setup so it provides more power. You can take one of those "more power" battery driven tools and convert it to a corded one, not loosing any of that "more power" in the process. Just now you got rid of the aspect that holds it back... the battery.

[@ohshitjeffrey3741]

You still need to use modern battery powered tools, they are the future. And I have built houses off generators that are awful, loud and horrible for your tool life not to mention super expensive to buy and run. Cordless is the future of almost everything, and sooner than later if we support the tools now.

[@Momoka7]

@@ohshitjeffrey3741 Yeah Battery is the future, sure. At this point I am just curious for how long, since you can't recycle the batteries, they use up allot recourses to make and don't last forever. Not to mention that good batteries for your tools are far from cheap.

[@ohshitjeffrey3741]

@@Momoka7 I still have some of the first Lithium Ion batteries for my Bosch tools that still work fine after seven or eight years. They don’t just die as often as they used to. I’m just a fan and I make more money faster with them now. But I also have Porter Cable saws from the dark ages when they were made in Jackson, Tennessee and love the power and longevity so I do agree with you as well. Cheers

Scott thank you for the amazing videos. Humble suggestion, please could you do a video about the way you frame two rows of continuous nogs (is that a NZ code?). In Aus we do one staggered row. Interested to rear your thoughts. Have a great weekend!

[@defenda1]

Dwangs/nogs aren't required here for lateral bracing if you've got sheet material on either side of the wall, eg ply RAB on outside or Gib on the inside. A lot of people still put them in though and of course they're needed if you've got vertical cladding outside. That's probably why they're always continuous. Staggered blocking is quite common between joists and rafters but I haven't seen it in walls here. Older houses often have diagonal wall blocking though...

[@kadmow]

Aussie builders (back in the hand nailing days when wages were low and houses affordable) used to do the noggins in a straight row with skew nails (easier to "know" where they are later - for nailing into - if need be) then came softwood frames and nailguns - does everyone stagger their rows?? - ...

PSA: Those Micro-sized T-Lock boxes from Tanos? They're exactly what they look like, a nice joke to store your business cards in, but not really practical. Source: my shattered hopes to organize my bits with them. The closures are a problem. First of all, about 60% of the boxes don't have a reliable closure and are thus worthless. Even with those that do, you can't really stack them. Even the good closures are really easy to pop out to the front. Which is bad if you have a stack of boxes pushing against it from the back while handling the stack. That's bad even if they're empty, let alone if they're heavily loaded. But they're cheap, so it's not a problem to buy three in hopes to get one decent one. And if you happen to get a good one, it's also a decent alternative for an Altoids tin for some kind of pocket kit, provided you put a rubber band around it for safety.
