And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I have a 110volt milwaukee bandsaw. the cordless saws work just as well, since the limiting factor is the strength of the cutting blade. put excessive pressure on the blade and it may break. so the battery versions have a place
This is all good untill you have to continually buy new batteries. I have both cordless and old school tools that work just fine. So, I have a few of each. Thank heaven, I have a tool shed with underground electric. Unless you have solar chargers, you will still need electricity to charge the batteries. As to the cost, they come with there own problem, as most new tools including the batteries are made in China. My concern in this post is very simple, "When will we be our on best producer in the U.S.A., of all things possible".
We use a saw like that often, not that silly battery powered thing though. Great for getting mangled shafts out of boats.

ReplyDeleteDon't have a place for that one, and I have a fair amount of tools. I did however just purchase a Bosch electric hand planer kit, and it rocks.
ReplyDeleteGettin ready to do that myself.
DeleteMillwrights used these sometimes at the mill I worked at.
ReplyDeleteI've seen plumber videos where they use them.

ReplyDeleteI have a Milwaukee 18 v for work. Handy to have to cut uni-strut and liquid-tite on small jobs
ReplyDeleteGot 2 battery- run Bosch tools- drill and saw. 3 batteries came w/them. They recharge quickly; have power enough; they're great!
ReplyDeleteGreat for cutting larger sizes of pipe or square tubing.
ReplyDeleteAlso works great for cutting steel cables, which nothing else does well nor quickly.
