O'Malley power tools?

Agreed - in my case the Craftsman went for $10 at a garage sale when the Milwaukee showed up. Unbelievable the difference.

You're right. ISO certification just means everything is documented and is supposedly done the same way every single time.

This could mean they put together cheap low quality tools the same way every time.

Don't do that! Tomorrow there will be 3 more along with it.....

Life is far, far too short indeed to endure the shame of a cheesy jigsaw.

That was a 13 amp worm-drive Skilsaw, Chuck. Nothing cheesy bout dat, 'specially with the brand new carbide tipped blade onnit. The score - carbide 1, sheet metal 0.

In the jigsaw department, I did manage to bag a 50's era B&D saw at the local flea a little while back. Had to cough up eight bucks for it, the bastards. All aluminum case and everything working well. Geeze Keeter, these old powuh tools are kinda interesting.

Going outside this very second to cut, pack, ship, 'mano.

Take, for example, what I did today. I had to make fill blocks to frame out four window openings, out of small blocks of 2X6. Each block had stepped out notches in it. If the only kind of jigsaw that was available was the cheesy kind, I would have found some other way to do it because it would have taken forever and the cuts would have been all over the place. The Bosch was even good for ripping out long 3 ft sections.

Ooops, my bad.

Nice driveby. I paid full price for my jigsaur several years back. Got the Bosch 1587 and it has done everything I've asked of it. Of course it also sits on a shelf a good portion of the time.

Cool, thanks. So have you played around with the mesquite hunk I sent you yet?
