thx! can never have to big of a table for a table saw!! yup miter saw drop... set up so i can keep the dewalt clips on the saw for the portable stand. this is the woodworking part of the shop over to the right is a small lacquer room.
That's a table saw!!
Like the bench I assume the drop is for a miter saw, very nice!

looks like you store your boat pretty high up too! And thats a Yamaha SRV?

lol. gotta get creative in a small space. found some wall space that wasn't being used so i built a rack to hang the small boat motors. that one is an 85 enticer but there is and 80 srv beside it though. lol.

Bite the bullet and get snap on or Mac. Snap ring pliers are one of those tools that will frustrate the crap out of you if you go cheap. If that snap ring slips off and goes shooting across the shop you'll be pissed!! Talk to your local dealer. They have some multi fit ones that aren't grossly expensive.

I HATE replaceable/exchangeable tip snap ring pliers. Buy dedicated, high quality sets: straight internal and external, 90 deg. Internal and external, long reach....you get the idea. I have thrown all those " combo" type sets in the trash years ago after so much frustration.

anything red with the name "hilti" on it

Funny I lent my Hilti drill out and buddy ran it right into the floor and buggered up the chuck...do you think I can get parts for that thing... I've called Hilti 9x... Fricken brutal I'm just about ready to pitch it threw the Hilti dealers window

But did love the drill before this gong show!

I agree some tools just aren't worth cheaping out on. Multimeters are another one. After cheapest, cheaper and cheap I finally broke down and bought a fluke

wow i can honestly say i have never had an issue with hilti repairing stuff or getting me parts. i used to be on the "they are over priced ban wagon" but i have had nothing but great luck with them and good service. their new cordless tools are leaps above the best, and there isn't a hammer drill on the market than can compare to theirs. jmo

may try calling the Edmonton locations for service or parts. they have been great to me
