I'll agree with that Max..... tools are often listed as "dispensable" when
crews are involved. Private craftsmen will use the more expensive tools. For 99% of the amateur back-yard carpenters... a DeWalt or a Porter Cable is not only overkill but many tools have adjustments and features that will never be used by someone building a doghouse or bird feeder. Bob strikes me as the type of person to have a Hilti gun and no clue as to how to use it.... for the sole purpose to claim he has professional grade tools. Next he'll claim he only buys Milwaukee Tools! BTW: DeWalt has bought B&D. I go to their store and they have it divided up..... the orange B&Ds are on the right. The yellow DeWalts are on the left. I buy the Dewalt refurbished tools at half the price of a new model and buy all the bits and blades from the B&D side since they are interchangeable. I saw two router bit kits... both identical in size, shape and type of bits... one in a yellow case [DeWalt] was $80 and the one in the orange case [B&D] was $50. I asked the clerk what the difference was between the two.... he said the colour of the case and the price. Bob would have bought the yellow case.... I bought the orange one. ;-D CM "Maxprop" wrote in message | The group that just installed my new soffits and fascia all used Ryobis. I | asked the company owner about them.

If your duty cycle | is consumer, not professional, a B&D drill or whatever may last for decades. | If you use 'em everyday, all day, they won't hold up. | | Max | | | |

I've had a B&D professional grinder for 11 years and used it on boat tasks for 9 years. My Porta Cable sander is not only durable, it also does a better job than others I've used. The Makita is a film set standard for the setbuilders union and costs under 150.00. At such a small price why cheap out with a Ryobi? There's just no reason to not have the better tool when the cost is so small. As usual, you're not only wrong, but shown to be a cooked fish in the process! Enjoy your Walgreen Drill!!! Bwahahahahahaha! RB |

My sister in law is a set designer... she doesn't even own a power tool and has never used a Makita until she borrowed my brother's drill. Makita was the tool of choice years ago... there are better ones out there. | As usual, you're not only wrong, but shown to be a cooked fish in the process! | Enjoy your Walgreen Drill!!! Say What???

poor Mooron! The B&D grinder is used every year to buff hulls. It was a 250.00 unit back then! I've changed the brushes only twice. It's also worked great at splitting jammed thru-hulls. Forget it, Mooron. Some of us actually work on our boats and don't want cheap tools. RB |

That's an awesome statement from someone who can't tell a buffer from a
grinder and uses the grinder to "buff hulls"... Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!! Time to watch some more "Tool Time"! Dollars to doughnuts you'll be looking for a Binford Buffer!!!

grinder and uses the grinder to "buff hulls"... No yard on the planet uses a buffer on a hull, Mooron, at least not one I've ever seen. They use big grinders with polish wheels. Polishers don't get the job done, except maybe on a new hull that hardly has any oxidation. I have no doubt that you own a silly automotive polisher and some of that colored New-Wax! Bwahahahahahaaha! RB RB |

Man that statement really places you in the proper category of an idiot when it comes to tools. Tell us again what the RPM is of your "Professional Grade Grinder"..... then try and clue in as to why buffers might be different to grinders. Then try and think why they call it a grinder and not a buffer. Really Bob.... you're sounding dumber with each reply. Stop now before you've made a complete Idiot of yourself! CM |

They do the job just fine! A toy B&D won't do the job, but a professional polisher will do a 32 footer in an afternoon. My club has a proper polisher, and I can testify that it gets the job done in a fraction of the time. Regards Donal -- |

No they don't.

I was reminded of Tim, also. Bob the tool-man....woof woof.
Real men don't brag about their tools' names, maybe the stuff they built with them. So, tell us bob, what have you built? Scotty, Tools don't make the man, the man makes the tool. "Capt.
