Thanks for the video. Do you a link anywhere that I could get the same stones as you? I’ve just been using my worksharp field sharpener but feel like I need a larger stone (and finer grits) to get it to where I would like.

Definitely recommend getting new stones as you progress into sharpening. Unfortunately the stones I have are pretty spendy and don’t come back in stock often. Here’s the link though. www.triplebhandmade.com There are some other super vitrified diamond stones out there but similar pricing and availability issues. I’d recommend checking out some resin bonded diamond waterstones if you want an amazing stone that isn’t in the stratosphere of pricing. Naniwa makes the best but I strongly recommend the Venev ones from gritomatic! Links below. Cheers!

You’ll want to skip. The fact that their double sided kind of forces you into it anyway. If you could only have 2 being budget conscious I’d recommend the 240F and 800F. But odds are you’ll have to get the 240F/400F and the 800F/1200F combo stones. Honestly I love this progression so it’s a real nice setup!

I think it’s really about weight and packability. Biggest downside of battery nailers is the weight, so lots of overhead work would really make sense with the M12, assuming 1-1/2” works. Same goes for a tool that isn’t used everyday but here and there. A lot easier to bring it along or store in a modular tool box setup as a just in case option. I do think it’s a niche tool but I really wanted it so here we are!

100 for edc-no specific use-just incase. 180 for real tool-typical normal plier use-most 10” channel lock uses. 300 for the upper end of 10” channel lock uses and beyond. 125s are good for edc if you have a specific regular plier use but need them in your pocket… 150s are the upper end of an in pocket edc, but are a great tool belt or super lightweight tool bag option. I know 10” channel locks are a common tool, but I feel like the 180s are so close to that same capability, and once you’re in that 10” tool range the jump to 12” is not a big deal and you get way more capability. Larger than 300 you obviously have a very specific reason for it.

When I saw these at pipeline I really wanted one. Almost a year later there not anyplace local and I ask my milwaukee rep he's like I didn't know thoes existed or were comming out. I really appreciate the size at least on screen I use a ryobi hp brad nailer currently. Going into my general maintenance tote is a ammo can (door install trim ect.). Until now I had a ammo can with fuel osslating tool, fuel jigsaw and fuel circ saw. Size is a huge consideration and with this it may fit onto something small instead of a seprate bag. You get enough seprate bags now your at a ton of trips into a place. Or you get lazy and try to go without so avoid carrying stuff in. Thanks for the video.

I use a m12 fuel osslating tool and it's funny my guys shay it's mote powerful than the dewalt xrs we have now collecting dust. I have used the first and second gen m18 oss tool and first gen is a joke. The second gen seems to be decent alot of vibration compared to the m12. I suspect the m18 dosent chew through batteries as badly but I'll swap them out for the smaller size. The other day I had my m12 fuel osslating tool cut through a Honda cv axel with a diablo carbide blade took an entire 5ah ho battery bit did it. My vote is get the tool that's the form factor you want and not wish you did.

The trouble is the edge apex has an extremely small cross section. Does not take much to heat up less than a hairs width of steel and you can’t tell by touch because there isn’t enough thermal energy store to be felt by your fingers. If you can tell by touch, that edge is for sure toast. Not the whole blade though.

Pb swiss makes super short sets I use a 7 key set m 210 m1.5 through 6mm. Best of all its under 20 dollars. The sbld does hold a mountain of stuff. I got a surge and meter in the back with a magnetic 10in by 2in metal tray from the parts store. In that is my makita sockets all just in the back. Ideally a ossilating tool and surge would be great but that's too tight. I carry my osslating tool in a milwaukee 12in x 4in zip bag they sell at hd in a 3peice set with a 2.5ho and blades on a carabiner. I have about as many tools in it as you and it's hearty for sure. It's a lazy quick bag for me vs my tech pack that's 50lbs and I loaded out the sbld with extra tools around so my main bag dosent suffer. In the back flap I carry a Plano fishing organizer 5in by 10 with wagos wire nuts screws ect. The right pocket could be less open maybe not that big gaping space. I also on the back pocket put a ripnot stainless clip(search it) for my tape measure on the back expanding flap. It really does need a non intrusive tape measure clip option. Thanks for sharing looking forward to more loadouts.

But a hammer will easily slide into the large D-rings use for the shoulder strap if you’re only using the carry handle. You have about 10” of clearance before the handle hits the floor.
