    Very much so. There are times when working together with other trades is a benifit but for the most part its always been best to me to be in our own areas and out of each others way.

    I've experienced similar during my time in construction. I was taught by some good electricians during my apprenticeship who had no problem getting down in the hole with the helpers to get the job done so I became the same way once I was the one doing the teaching. Also been on the side of...

    Yes I had a coworker with full Milwaukee setup when I lived in Williamsburg 15ish years ago. The tools where amazing but he had to have twice as many batteries to make it through the day than I did with my Dewalt 18V stuff.

    Oh no doubt Milwaukee makes the best porta band ever. We had a dozen of them at my last job. Where I'm at now we have a couple including my favorite for little small jobs is the M12 cordless version. Rigid is what we have always used for any pipe threading needed. Never had much experience with...

    I've thought about getting one of the cheap harbor frieght porta-bands to make a bench top metal saw out of. Maybe it's the tradesman coming out in me but I'm a fan of the tri-vise as a stand.

    While it wont help if you just drop it one thing I did to keep my exacto knife from rolling off of the bench was to cut a piece of wire about an inch long and tape it to the end of the handle. Stops it from rolling.

    I got mine from a club member for free since it was to be my daughters primary trainer. It's a great flying airframe.

    I'm not sure what our club trainer has on it as I have never actually flown it. As for me the two trainers I have are and old great planes PT-40 that I got from a club member and restored. I have a Gforce 3542 on it running on 4S power. Actually run a pair of 4S 2200's in paralell only as I need...
