Agreed. I think a good angle grinder should make it easy to dettach, reattach, and change the orientation of the guard without tools so you're not tempted to permanently dettach it the first time that it doesn't suit a particular task

I used one without a guard and the cut off wheel got pinched and when it jumped it nearly cut my thumb off! Two surgeries to try and fix the tendon, still have very little feeling in it so my advice is to make sure all guards are in place before using a tool. Oh yeah, I have been using tools for 40 years so I was plenty experienced with tools, but a freak accident can mess you up.

Good job. I have "every tool known to mankind" in my shop. But in my daily rental property management field work, I use the hell out of a Cordless Dremel, Cordless Saws-all, 3" cut off grinder, cordless sabre saw, one cordles drill set up for drill bits and contersinks, and one cordless drill set up for a 6" magnetic #2 phillips and a 7 1/4 Skill saw. I just found some really sharp stainless multi-tool blades on ebay; they really kick ass. If they hold up, I'll use the multi a lot more. I like the look of the Kobalt. I run into the need for matching 45's all the time. 90's are not that big a deal. - Also, I've started using 1/8" HHS drill bits in a dedicated 36,000 rpm cordless Dremel. Talk about fast pre\drilling holes. busing out deadbolt screws, pins, steel/aluminum pilot holes, and such. It's amazing. - I notice you don't have a magnet glued to the top of your drill to temp hold screws and bits. This trick has really helped me work faster. There's a Ferro /ceramic Magnet that is about 2" long and 1" wide. I get them at Lowe's. Cheers Handyman!

Happy Saturday Handyman. Millennials. The young husband. For the first time in my experience, the man of the house was not even mildly interested in what I was doing or why. He was too busy playing a computer game, and laughing hysterically,. Wifey wore the pants today, I had gone to their rental to re-set a leaking toilet base and install a new Disposal. - Both were unexpected trouble. Cast Iron Toilet flange was a good 5/8" above floor level and old disposal was a weird off brand, so my new Badger wouldn't match any of the drain plumbing. - Toilet. I tried the new Lowe's red Korky poly seal made for this elevated flange problem. I noted that it was not nearly as good as the green Home Depot Sani-Seal. I just didn't want to make an extra trip to Home Depot. But, it all worked out. Disposal. Fortunately, I barely did have adjustment parts on my service truck. I should have taken this in consideration when I first assessed the cracked housing, leaking, old disposal. Why is it so hard to notice everything?!?

I have the similar DW745, Only difference is only 20 inch rip. Now Dewalt seems to have made it only 8 1/4" blade. Don't think they still make the table top model in 10". Too bad. Sometimes I need the depth. Also shaft is too short for stacked dado. But all in all the best job site saw I have seen. Bought my son the Hitachi, now replaced with a Dewalt like mine. I too made a job site bench, table saw on the right end and miter box in the middle. Space on the left end for a router table function although I have not done that yet. Great channel keep it up.

Yes I agree. I have a Dewalt angle grinder and took the guard off for some reason, don't remember now. Was intending to put it back on right away. I had an all purpose cutting blade on there.

But I do find a hundred of uses for my grinder and would like to have more than one.

I love my ridgid r4512 table saw but I won't buy ridgid again after the circle jerk that was dealing with signing up for the lifetime service agreement. One of the things that i found to be the most useful was a Ripping blade. I originally bought a 50 something tooth blade and i was not happy with the performance of the saw before switching. Im in the process of going to run a 240v 20 amp line to it and switch it over. I recently bought a router to build some shelves and was super happy with all it can do. Though the sticker shock on bits is kind of the worst part. Unfortunately for sears but good for me they are leaving my area and i got a bit set dirt cheap. I will never use half these bits but it was a 32 piece set for about 40. Thanks for the content.

When I bought my first tools a few years ago for a rental I’m fixing up, I went to several stores to check out the tools in person. Some of the angle grinders, for example, were too fat around the barrel for my fairly small hands, or too heavy. In terms of overall size, weight and balance, I liked Makita the best, but that’s a totally personal consideration. I also bought cheap or used tools for cutting brick or other activities that might wreck my good tools. My only regret is the single bevel, non-sliding mitre saw. I wish I had spent more and gotten the sliding double-bevel.
