Fabrication Memes

I have a Ryobi pin nailer and Brad nailer. I don’t recommend the Brad nailer if you are going through MDF trim thicker than 1/2” it won’t drive them all the way through. I bought a set of 7 DeWalt tools on a Black Friday sale a couple years back. Also came with the tough system rolling box. I have a complete set of the boxes and organizers and really like them… but I think Milwaukee’s boxes are better and have more options. I went back and forth as there was also a Milwaukee set on sale. If I had it to do over again I would probably go with the Milwaukee set.

I have already let the smoke out of my drill. I shouldn’t have used it with the hole saw… I was going to get out the corded drill but it was just to easy to grab the cordless. It was one 2” hole to many.

My dad has all makita and his cordless grinder is much better than mine but it is probably a step above mine too, but I am not sure. He buys all his tools a local tool store… none from box stores, so I think he generally gets the higher spec version than what you get at the box stores. My 1/2” impact is better than his but not as good as the Milwaukee.

I have a Milwaukee corded hammer drill I like. It’s not a Hilti but it’s a good tool.
