Put wood on my deck with this - worked great. BUT now I need to remove a couple boards to replace them and i ma having all kinds of trouble getting the screws out.
I have a miniature & am thinking of getting a floor model & maybe a roof model. My central AC simply gets no air to my top floor-waste of money that was. I have 2 heat pumps that work fairly well as cooling units but I'm going to need more.
I used the Camo deck fastener on my back porch floor and steps. Very easy to use. After I was finished, my wife asked me when was I going to nail the boards down. Told her that they were already screwed down. She was so used to the old nails always coming up and possibly hurting the grandkids. I redid my porch over two and half years ago and not a single screw has ever come out or up. Made quick work of screwing the boards in place.
You say 2 years ago?still holds great?i feel like it would be inferior ta top screws?guess its just 2 new fer my taste,but ima give it a shot i spose....
has false lock and that’s how u get hurt. they changed it to a 2 sectional ladder to back away a defective ladder to hid from law suits. anyone get hurt i like to hear your story.
I like its weight. Not too heavy, not too light. The only thing I don't like about it is that the holes to vent the motor are not protected. I understand that the air can get in easily, but so are the tiny screws and debris. I had a near miss once. I had to duck tape it ever since and cut smaller holes myself.
Just got one for a deck build next week. Looking forward to it. I have the same drill press as you. Mine is an old one passed down to me from my Dad. Thought it was a lonley relic! Cheers!
I like what you showed and described about basic stair stringers. I have a couple of questions... 1. Is it important to factor in the tread nose? 2. When you mentioned the "front" of the stringer does that include the thickness dimension of the riser from the landing to the underside of the tread? 3. What hanger device did you use to attach the stringer to the rim joist? Thanks
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ru-vid.comUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ru-vid.comUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
Love this lawnmower ru-vid.comUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend although it has a smaller cut in the grass it's easy to maneuver and very lightweight, would highly recommend for somebody older that lives on their own and has to cut their lawn.
I'm used to larger, corded routers ru-vid.comUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ru-vid.comUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great ru-vid.comUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.
