Morning all
Looking at power tools at Home Depot. They have several brands and I curious as to what brand you folks have experience with.

Milwaukee.. but I also agree with mcapo.

I use them professionally. I am rough with them. I treat them as I would any other tool... they are worth every penny. So much so, I have 2 sets. One for my union job, and one for my side work.

Milwaukee all the way for me, but even they make different grade levels.
I can stand some of the lightweight stuff around home, but we have multiple 1/2” impacts, I buy the $300 sawzall and a $500 right angle drill for field work because it pays to spend that much, compared to breaking the lightweight stuff.
There’s a few better brands out there, kind of elite, but having all the same battery is huge.

ETA; seed corn companies used to give away “free” hats, this year we scored a Milwaukee 1” impact that connects to your phone to adjust torque levels. More power than the 1” air by quite a ways.

Definitely spend the money for the "fuel" linger lasting, more power, energy efficient. I have both m12 and m18. I even have the heated jacket. I might highly endorse Milwaukee

Looks like a must buy for you!

That is the one I fondled. Nice but need to hold off just a short while more. And I think I am leaning more towards a Massada, either semi-compact or compact if I can find a decent one once funds (and wife) are ready. But not ruling one out down the road. Maybe a full size Jericho in 45-now that would be a hoss!

Everything ready to go out tomorrow, much nicer than when I lived in the burbs.

A collection starts with one....

All three of the boys will be in the trees tomorrow. Hopefully, this is the year that my youngest son gets a deer with the "family first" deer rifle - a Rem 742 in 30-06. He would be the third generation to take a buck with that gun.

Best of luck to you!

It's an interesting pistol. He said several times "silver finish" .... honestly, I'm not sure what that means, B2V ..... it is plated, or has it been ceracoated at some point ?

Also, he went too fast for me, when speaking about the 'safety'. (of course, I use CC for everything). But is it a decocker, with a typical double action/single action pull .... or is it an actual 2-positon safety ?

These are my questions, if you feel like educating me.

That's a very cool scenario / family tradition, Bandit ! I, also, shall hope for his success.

I bet ... it will surely be nice for you to just walk-out your door ... and already BE in the great woods. Even with your fabulous firearm collection, LE, it's your large acreage that swells my heart with a bit of jealousy. My tiny 7ac. is fun, but your spread ..... my, oh my !

The finish is similar to the Tanfoglio ‘wonder finish’. Kind of a matte stainless finish.

The safety is like CZ DA/SA safeties and my Tanfoglio Witness. Can manually decock and carry hammer down with first shot DA (safety on or off) or condition one with safety on, hammer cocked and SA first trigger pull. Not sure why they did this as my understanding is all official Israeli forces, police, etc. carry with an empty chamber.

OK, very interesting. Thanks ! Like you, I think that the Massada that you first spotted was a more intriquing pistol ..... is it still available, by chance ?

There are 3 i know of, 2 compacts and 1 semi-compact. The semi-compact cosmetically appears to be the nicest, the 3 are within $50 of each other. Currently in negotiations with Mrs. B2V.
