Wow, I was only getting about 5 or 6 out of my Sears Craftsman (It was a gift from a past girlfriend...had to dump her for buying me bad tools.) The Craftsman drill works fine and too the sawzall, with good battery life. I must say though, there is no comparison to the quality in my Dewalt right angle drill......

Thanks....

IMO Craftsman sells very good hand tools but their power tools leave a lot to be desired.

No argument here on that one.... Their batteries overall life is very poor, no "snap" in the power department, and the ergonomics of the power tools just isn't there.....

I won a set of Kawasaki power tools at a Christmas party one time. They werent powerful enough, had miserable battery life, ergonomics were terrible and they werent heavy enough to use as boat anchors...utterly useless.

The rare Alaskan two-headed moose. Can you shoot it if one head is legal? Sorry the pic is a bit fuzzy.

Weather has arrived in S.E. Got around a foot of wet, heavy snow last night and early this a.m. More on the way. Calling for 18" totals. Wouldn't be so bad if it was powder, but this stuff is a bummer.
2 weeks 'till opening day. Count down.

we only got an inch or so, then it melted, then it froze. you can spin a brodie without trying right now. glad to be sitting here on the computer. we are supposed to get 6-10" tonight. looks like it might rain off next week though. its probably going to turn into a big [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] mess like usual

PLOW, PLOW, PLOW. More on the way. If this keeps up, I'll need a ladder to get up the snow/tide berm come Dec. 1.

we got lucky and only got about 2 inches last night. finally the weatherman was wrong in a good way. i need to replace the front differential on our fourwheeler before we can plow. i've never done it before and my dad is up on the slope so he can't help. i'm hoping i get it done before it really comes down.

Blizzard here most of the day but temps are still pretty good. No steel set yet due to wx and some truck issues. Should be good to go in a few days. No bears sighted last weekend despite covering a lot of miles. Will try again Saturday.
