(It's still early in the day so I might make another discovery or two - just be warned.)
My mother-in-laws (I'm not sure what the correct address is for a lesbian couple) got me a nice set of battery operated Skil tools as a house warming. A (surprisingly, full sized) circular saw, drill (with high-speed and high-torque setting), spotlight and jigsaw with two batteries. They also threw in a matching (but corded) sander. I'm not sure if I'll give up my manual tools yet (I love my crank drill and hand saw) but damn... I needed to cut a 4x4 in half (building a pallet to keep my comics off the floor) and that circular saw chewed through it. Never needed to hunt for an extension cord, worry about cutting through it or tripping over it and the thing seemed to have all the power it needed. I'm sure if I needed to use it for a long period of time that the battery would fade and annoy but for my purposes (odd jobs around the house) it's very, very nice. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:204853 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
