thats in the same building as SSl? Ill make a pass today..

as soon as you enter SSL, look left... can't miss them..

Got screws thanks guys..


So Im looking to aquire a new multimeter, to perform the basics and sand up to some abuse and came across this

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1260 ... 1&sLevel=0

A craftsman l# 82141. Worth the $25usd or so?

^those will work for everyday testing without a problem..

R&N Electronics on Cipero St has a few decent ones for a reasonable price.. i bought a simple digital one like what you posted for around $250.. it has all of the features plus selectable ranges, temperature measurement & a protective covering..

^^ You know me better than that, I dont need all that and my dad in the states right now so I just looking for something simple and effective....


Ill confirm with him to get that one for me, still not sure if it coming with the cables or not though..

it supposed to come with cables.. $25 US is a good price..

IIRC, you can get budget models of fluke in sears.

got this lil toy for my b-day



now i need to get some time to start some projects

^ that's a nice saw!

my old blade was quite dull (used it to cut down some coconut trees ) so i bought this one just recently.. and was abit surprised to see it's quite similar in design to the Bosch blade..



this blade has smaller teeth than the regular Black and Decker standard blades.. hopefully it should provide faster neater cuts..

boi Irwin Blades 4 it....

dat looking like ah carbide tipped

i use craftsman carbide tipped,ah lil expensive eh,but well worth it

^^ Makes no sence to use carbide tipped blades... What are the benefits vs costs?



Anyone ever had to calibrate a DMM? Cheap thing reading a little off I think, either that or Ive got a 15.6v fed amp..

gives me a smooth,clean cut,no chips ect

I seeing carbide and thinking something else, sry bout that.

lol, the blade 3stage has is carbide and so is the bosch

im using dewalt blade in my cicular saw - thin with alot of teeth & cuts with ease on my skill saw ...

so anyone ever had to calibrate their DMM?


My new one give me a reading of 3volts more than the previous one...Either one of the meters are wrong or I changed a fuse and got 15.xx with the music, ac and headlights on.

Try a new battery in the meter.

How that affects it? Im just asking...

IIRC the digital mutlimeters take their reference potential from the battery. So if that is off, the readings would be off. In my meter i used to get 17V when the batt was bad. I changed the batt and readings were normal.

i know the digital meters used for in car monitoring has an internal potentiometer that you can use to calibrate the meter.. i'm not sure if DMM will have that same ability..

If you get a Fluke meter then you can have it calibrated at Western Scientific. I don't know how much that costs though.

^^$25usd craftsman, I thought it would have been the basic thing I wanted but like cheap thing noo good..

Wait a minute, damn right, I took a ole battery from a next ole DMM that I thought was off and giving me off readings...Dude you rawk.. *runns off to get 9v*

Im looking for a magnetic bit holder and a couple basic inserts for it...


Anyone know where I can get one? With the sleeve would be appreciated..


something like this:

kurpal_v2, Does it have to be that long, or will a shorter one suffice?

I used the Dewalt mag. bit holder with the guide works great perfect length as well....

I told him about the Dewalt long time now, but he doh listen as usual.

Shorter is better and I took your advise pios..

Hey dudes, well my pricesmart mc culloch hammer drill finally gave out on me...think it's a trigger problem (might cost more to fix than it's worth)

Anyhow, i'm in the process of ordering a Bosch Hammer Drill...i need a hammer drill cuz i bore alot of holes in the walls home to mount speakers (and mammy cussin )

I used my previous hammer drill for screw driving also, do you all think i should buy a smaller drill also to use for driving?...or even those screwguns?...can someone tell me the difference between the two?

When i building something it's a kinda pain to keep switching from drill bit to screw bits...so i wanted a seperate dedicated drill/driver for putting down screws.

What ya'll recommend?
