| Adam |  Sawz-AllApril 9th, 2007 10:22 PM April 9, 2007 Sawz-All I had a great time during my one-week vacation. I needed to slightly widen a storage building's doorway to accommodate a Craftsman Lawn Tractor's mowing deck. Although the reciprocating saw I used was not a Craftsman tool, I find the 50th Anniversary edition Milwaukee Sawz-All very useful and tremendously productive. I do use two forms of Craftsman extension cords to convey power to the "corded" tool. One of the cords utilizes lit plugs. A lit plug on the end of a one-hundred foot cord is a very good thing. |

| Adam | Battery Powered Milwaukee April 17th, 2007 09:23 PM April 17, 2007 Battery Powered Milwaukee I know the battery powered tools are most likely from "over-there" now. But, I believe my corded Sawz-all is US Made. It uses the classic design pattern. One solid piece (non-articulated), no orbital action, 120 volts. Arr... arr... ARR! The 120 volt Craftsman recip saw at work is no slouch either. Q: How does one move a ping-pong table, slated for destruction, by one-self? A: Cut that bad-boy in pieces with a Craftsman recip saw! With the right blade, you can go through those metal and plastic sided tables, too. :) |
| Joe | No more April 18th, 2007 01:05 PM The Craftsman recip saws are Chinese paperweights now. I have one of the last USA made "900" Dewalt made Craftsmans. After that, all imports. |
| Adam | Lit Extension June 3rd, 2007 02:15 AM June 2, 2007 Lit Extension I found another "use" for the Craftsman lit extension cords. The circuit breaker equipped plug end, helps keep the main breaker from blowing - tripping (whatever). I sure wish I had thought of that the other day. A returned air compressor tripped a panel breaker, "somewhere" in the building. There are probably, easily, three-dozen circuit breaker boxes sprinkled through out the building. And, unlike at home, people get very upset by your "trying" to reset each breaker individually. I've already ruled out the "High-Voltage" panels. So, I'm down to under 15 breaker boxes now. I'm working on a little project, that I hope will catch on. It's called, "Let's label the circuit breakers". Catchy name, huh? I wonder what else is on that particular branch circuit? Mental Note: Check the sump pump power ASAP. And, wear the rubber boots, "Just-in-case". |
| Joe | Breakers June 4th, 2007 09:04 AM It always helps to have those breakers marked. You never know what's together on one circuit. Would you believe the doorbell and the circulator pump on my house? LOL. |
| Adam | Mapping June 4th, 2007 06:04 PM June 4, 2007 Mapping I got me an idea on how to Eye-dental-fy what breaker goes where. The store SELLS a tracer device that allows the user to trace a signal through the power lines, back to the breaker panel. Brilliant. I haven't Store-Used anything for weeks. The good news is, the sump pumps still have power. |
