You were riding today?!? Man, you got bigger ones than me!

So do the Olson twins.

So, tell us bob, what have you built?


More of a question of what I've rebuilt.

RB

Scotty, Tools don't make the man, the man makes the tool.

Unless of course he has no tools.


RB

$250 for a B&D............what a dummy!


Black and decker used to build large expensive tools, such as grinders and saws
in the 3-4 hundred dollar price range. Go ask mr. Ryobi.

Bwahahahaha!

RB

I'm gonna hold out for a professional grade B&D.

They don't make them anymore and you can't afford anything professional, unless
your wife gives you a discount.

Sheep to the slaugher, folks!

I buy the Dewalt refurbished tools at half the price of a new model

Same here. I bought a refurbished Dewalt RO sander about ten years ago.
Even after doing a complete bottom job on a previous ketch--sanding the gel
down to a very thin layer followed by epoxy barrier coats and
antifouling--it still runs fine. Recently I bought a Porter Cable
right-angle RO sander for the same job, upcoming on the current boat. It
theoretically should be quite a bit more durable, but I doubt if it will be
any better after the job is finished than the Dewalt.

Sorry, Mooron, I buy tools that last.

I bought a Ryobi 18V 1/2" drill, and it still is working perfectly after
several years of moderate use. But it's hard to argue with buying good
quality tools. I bought a Fein detail sander yesterday at a woodworking
show. It should last forever.

An eleven year old Black & Decker????? Bwahahahahahahahahhaaa

Hate to pop your balloon, Capt., but B&D did make some professional-grade
tools a while back. They weren't cheap, and they were top-notch. It's only
been within the past decade that B&D went the cheap consumer tool route.

....
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

I'm afraid the clerk is wrong. Dewalt still uses different motors from B&D
and
are rated for a longer lifespan.

Bingo. I just figured out how you post fifty or more times to this NG. You
don't read 'em. CM was talking about bits, not power tools. The cases were
the plastic boxes in which the bits came.

Max

What in the hell are you doing to your boats that you are wering out
drills?


Why are you spoiling the fun? A 20 dollar el-cheapo drill is all you need on a
boat. I use a 49.99 Black and Decker. It's been aboard Ghost and Alien for 4
years. That's more than enough for a boat drill.
But look how I made Mooron and the other pinheads jump and play!

Hooooh ahhhh!
