Earlier this year, we started a new project in the KMS Car Parts Shop. Its a 1952 Chevrolet Tin Woodie. We started out with a pretty solid little wagon…(before we sent it to the sand blaster) and then prepped it for metal work. As it turned out we needed to do a bit of metal repair to a few more areas than we had anticipated.
Here are a few pics to show you what we have done.

Are you in need of replacing that old drill with the batteries that no longer last more than 20 minutes before having to recharge? Maybe you have an old miter saw that you cannot cut a straight line anymore and you simply need to replace it. Are you tired of using that old router that keeps tripping your breaker?

DeWALT has recently introduced their new 12″ Double Bevel Sliding Compound Mitre Saw (DWS780). It seems to have some improvements over the earlier DeWALT DW718 model. Improved cutting capacity, from 6-1/2″ vertical capacity to 6-3/4″ with baseboard against fence. Crown molding vertically nested capacity has increased from 6-5/8″ to 7-1/2″. Their crown molding lying flat capacity has gone from 11-1/4″ to 13-3/4″ and they’ve improved their dust collection ability to be more than an afterthought.

Last week 20 KMS Tools employees went through the Festool 101 training with instructor Steve Bace. Let me tell you, this guy really knows his stuff. He has a history in the solid surface industry, so sanding is his specialty. In less than 5 minutes he took this old beat up cutting board and refinished it to look like new. It was very impressive to say the least.

Milwaukee came around several months ago with one of their red 12V 2331 heated jackets, and to be honest, I was very surprised at the quality and impressive control and level of heat provided with this jacket. Just recently Milwaukee released the same jacket in camouflage (2332) and black (2336). I’ve been told that the black will only be released into the Canadian market and are limited as they will only be available until later this year. All Jackets come in S, M, L, XL, XXL & XXXL. We will be stocking the red and camouflage version in a tool only (no battery or charger), and all three in the kit version with one 12V M12 battery and 30-minute charger.
Seriously, Festool is in fact giving away a free tool what looks like every month. Go to www.festoolsweepstakes.com and sign up. Last month they gave away a Festool DOMINO Joiner, and the month before a Festool TS 55 Track Saw, both of which I did not win. Hopefully one of you guys will bring a new Festool tool home in the coming months so you can find out why Festool is the top dog in power tools.
