Re: Festool Domino to focus on decking



I'm with Pabs, here. I think this system will result in premature failure of the decking boards. Sure, it looks nice, but there are better systems out there that provide the same effect without dramatically compromising the decking integrity.

Re: Torture Test: Recip Saw Blades



ditto on metal cutting performance

i hate crawling in to a crawlspace to cut out old cast iron drains enough as it is ...but then to have to keep switching to a fresh blade? ...ugh!

Angle grinders do work far better, but it's not always possible to get one into position.
