Post by: Brock Landers on February 24, 2025, 06:15:56 PM: I enjoy my DeWalt stuff but I do kind of wince at the prices when it's time to buy a new item. I kind of wish I had gone the Harbor Freight route years ago instead, like ss7 just said it's all the average homeowner needs.

They run deals all the time. I got $400 worth of batteries last month for $160.

Yup, I tend to watch what most people who actually need to use tools for their job and Milwaukee tends to lead that pack there. Though Milwaukee also make sure they are out there in the trades. So bit of a self fulfilling prophesy. I do like their stuff a lot.

Post by: highway61 on February 25, 2025, 11:00:46 AM: After the big snow storm in January, I bought a battery powered snow shovel for about $100. I used it for the 2 snow storms the last 2 weeks, and was pretty happy with it. I was able to shovel my drive way in maybe 1/3 the time it would normally take me.

A lot of dudes have heart attacks while shoveling snow, so hoping this will stop that. On the down side, it says it can only handles depths of up to 8 inches, so not really sure what happens if we get more snow that that.

If the snowfall is accumulating at 1 inch/hr then I would suggest you get out there and shovel every 8 hours. (Every 6 if you wanna be extra sure no heart attacks)
