  1. Not including boxes and assuming it was a straight run. Also assuming it was ten foot between straps. The minimum allowed by code. Around 30 to 35 holes. That's at the minimum. Unless they were two hole hangers. Then it was a minimum 60 to 70.
  2. Everyone knows tin beaters can't use power tools. That's why they get them cheap stuff. Im surprised you tar babies get good stuff. Hell y'all nasty critter make a dang sticky mess out of everything.
  3. The corded Milwaukee RA drills are beast! We would wedge a 2x4 between some angle iron and the drill when mounting reactor vessels. Then pull down on the 2x4 thus making a drill press. Worked like a charm for putting 5/8 in he's through 1in thick carbon steel. Cut drilling time by a third.
  4. I use my Milwaukee's for work. The Ryobi's are used as my home set and occasionly by my helper. I've invested too much cash in them to give them up now. I'm running 8 batteries, four charger, Two impacts, one drill, a sawzall, and a flashlight. Those are just the 18volt ones. I supply my helper with power tools until he can get his own. Anyway. For what they are. the Ryobis aren't bad. At least for a homeowner. I would never bring them on a industrial job. I think it would kill them. I ain't had that Ryobi set for long so MY batteries work great! At least when I use them.
  5. I must say I'm impressed with the 18volt Ryobi tools. The company I'm with now swears by them. All the journeymen are purchased a set for work and personal use. The price is around 120 for a set. That's about 35 dollars more than what I'm paying for 1 Milwaukee battery. So yeah the price is phenomenal. Power is more so than expected. I figured the battery would last a while. However the torque and power put out by these is awesome. Its right up there with my Mulwaukees in my opinion. The impact drives screws like a champ. Self tappers and wood screws. I haven't tried it on lag bolts yet. However I will before its all said and done. Drill punches holes like a champ. Even with a one inch uni bit through metal. As with all battery tools I wouldn't use a whole saw over 2in. unless on low torque and low speed. Still it runs small augers and butterfly bits good. The sawzall performs as well as most every other one I've ever used. Its got a variable speed trigger. Which is always a plus. Appearance. From a contractor stand point. They don't look anywhere near heavy duty. They definitely have that homeowner look to them. Weight is about as expected. A little lighter than the contractor grade tools. I would prefer them to have hooks or clips on them. It makes it nice having a way to chain them off to my belt and/or harness. They are durable though. We had one of their impacts drop 15 feet to the concrete the other day. No cracks or breaks still works fine. I would be scared to drop it from higher up than that. My Milwaukee impact cracked from 40 feet up. (A helper didn't chain it off to himself) I think that the ryobi would explode from that height. Anyway. The ergonomics leave something to be desired contractor wise. If you are not using it everyday or are wearing gloves it is unnoticeable. Even with the cheap look they are durable though. I'm extremely impressed with them. Conclusion. I'm very impressed with these tools. Homeowners should love these things. They have the power of contractor grade tools, yet are a quarter of the cost. The investment should not deter the average DIYer or contractor from purchasing. Ryobi has definitely stepped up their game on these. I wouldn't expect them to replace their corded counterparts, and they don't. For residential and light commercial work they can not be beat.for home projects and repairs nothing is going to be as economical as these are.
  6. BPS pro qualifier reel. Dang thing is still going after strong after 4 years. Abu Garcia Veritas rod and Abu Garcia C3 blue reel. This combo has absolutely astounded me. I'm pulling up 20+ pound stripe with this combo. Its been a champ through it all. Works good on green fish and stripe. Not even the first hick up out of it. I've had two baitcasters sh read on these massive lake dwellers. Not my ABU though. AZUMA crankbaits. These things flat out catch bass. Period. They cost as much as Lucky Crafts do. Extremely hard to find now. I think the company went out of business. Cause I can't find anything on them now. Bought out a local tackle shop that put them on clearance 5 months ago. Dropped 300 dollars to stock up on them. Non fishing related. PSE bows. There high end bows are awesome. Not the ready shoot 400 dollar all included bows. Quality is top notch on them. Wera tools. These German made hand tools are top end nice. I didn't expect much from them when I ordered a set. They are going strong five years later. I have reached all my klein and greenlee drivers with them now. New Klein Journeyman series lineman pliers. As in 2013 models. These bad boys cut stainless steel like its butter. I've worn out two 7 year old pairs and 4 pairs of knipex cutting SS TIG rods. These are not even phased though.
  7. Sorry Glenn.
  8. That's my thought process on it as well. Very astute assumption by the way. I can definitely see them going hand in hand.
  9. That there is proof that political beliefs have no bearing on accurate representations of who or what a person(s) is/are. They are just labels of an ideology that someone follows. It has in "most" cases no bearing on religious beliefs or other ideas/beliefs. However, I pose this question. If an Anarchist is following a set of rules and is a member of a group of other Anarchist. Is that person still an Anarchist? Seeing as how anarchy is supposed to be no rules and no leaders.
  10. You assume wrong my friend. Not that its anybodys business, but I'm Catholic.
  11. I'm an anarchist. No political affiliations here. Just a idea that human nature will never allow to occur. Since people will ALWAYS at least follow some one. Chaos and disorder excite me.
  12. Yeah, but they do the job. Break them shoulders and bust them lungs. Shooting from my PSE at 70#s and 30in DL. They are dang near passing through the target block at 30 yards. 20 yards they are passing through.
  13. Just got two packs of Toxic's in today. These are some evil looking things. I'm gonna try one on the foam block when I get home. I believe these will do very bad things to the friendly furry forest creatures.
  14. Ain't getting me nowhere near public lands when the orange army hits the woods. That's about the time I either go fishing or head up to my buddies hunting club. Ain't no way, no how I'm going in the woods with all those trigger happy morons running around.
  15. That Doe would be on the table right now. Ain't no need to waste fresh deer.
  16. While hopping about on my archery forum the other day I stumbled upon this guy. I think he was using an alias though.
  17. I'm spying on "Them" and "They". Shhhh keep it on the lowdown. They have eyes and ears everywhere.
  18. Don't tick on my cloud. BR is nothing like facebook. BR is more used friendly.
  19. I have gone under cover to try an figure out what this whole Facebook thing is about. I refuse to use my real name cause I don't want random people harassing me to be their d**n friend. If i aint contacted you in the last 12 years. There is probably a reason for that. So I'm using the guise of my beloved fiest. Maybe I can get some insight into why people love this "social network" thing so much. I will report back with my findings.
  20. I like that riot pump. Very nice.
  21. Armchair legal advice is just one of the many services I offer. I'm also a armchair doctor, pharmacist, trainer, and all around guru of life in general.
  22. If you have to put 11 rounds into a intruder to end its life there is a problem. Most likely being a lack of training or a lack of marksmanship. Its one thing if you miss your mark. Its another to dump eleven rounds into a body laying on the floor. You can call it what you want. However if I dump 33 rounds from a glock or a hundred rounds from my AK into a body I'm gonna get charged with something. 'Honestly officer the first five hollow points blew his lungs and intrails out his back however I saw him twitch some more. So I figured I would turn him into a meat canoe just to be sure he was dead."You are correct, I have no responsibility to make sure the intruder is alive or dead. I also have no responsibility as per the castle doctrine to let him leave my house unless its in a body bag. By your logic I can dump three 33 round magazines into the intruder, 99 hollow points, and walk away like nothing ever happened. Ever heard of excessive use of force? Yup that still applies in your home. Hence why I can't drag the wounded intruder to a corner and execute him. Also, the second you pull the trigger on that firearm. That is intent. Be it self defense or not. That action classifies as intent. Will you be convicted of it? Probably not. However it can and does happen. I'm not trying to be combative. So please don't take it in that way. I reread and my post sounds kind of harsh. That's not the inflection I want it to have.
  23. Yeah I gave up on the chipmunks. I've taken up hog hunting now. More sporting to me than blasting the little fuzz balls.
