![]() But the truth is I’d buy either one if the other weren’t available. I bought both as I thought it might make for an interesting comparison or editorial at the least. A few feet away they have Diablo 2-for-1 carbide-tipped reciprocating saw blades. Milwaukee 2-for-1 carbide-tipped reciprocating saw blades. I was at Home Depot the other day, and they have new promotional displays. Let’s say one bit lasts 10% longer, repeatedly. But to what end? I rarely see comparison testing that I’d trust. Longevity? Both Bosch and Milwaukee do extremely well. Our Ace Hardware stores stock a few, same or higher prices.ĭangerous failures? I’ve seen amateurs do poorly controlled failure testing without providing context. I hope that decent pricing and easier availability of Diablo blades improves online, since HD nearly locked it out in my area. ![]() I was encouraged to see that Milwaukee was going to start making some of this in the US again but in the end my dollar is going to the quality tool, usually, wherever it’s made or whatever brand is on it. Milwaukee hole saws are crap now, the regular twist drills are marginal and do not deserve their pricing, the recip blades are ok but not as good as others. Shifting over to Hilti as I replace bits because the Bosch ones, while still decent, are not what they used to be either. Snatched a set of the previous German-made masonry bits because the few I’ve tried of their current China masonry bits are just inferior. Over the last few years I have been disappointed with all of the Milwaukee accessories that I have used save for their screw bits. I was told that this store had the stock pulled and staged in the receiving department and he was unsure why or if it would end up on the pegs. A couple months ago I finally inquired with one store why the online stock levels that I could see (which apparently are not real and also not what the store employees see when they look at their devices). I have noticed that their Diablo recip blades have been in apparent dire straits for the last 4-5 months as well, and now I half suspect that maybe those will be going away, too. We have picks that are lightweight and easy to move around, aesthetically unobtrusive for a patio, great for cooking over, and the type you might expect to own for a lifetime.I was in two HD stores today and did notice the bits were pretty sparse. ![]() What distinguishes fire pits from one another is largely their looks, how easy they are to clean, and, to some extent, the available accessories.Īs a result, finding the right fire pit for you is a matter of personal choice, depending on your needs. That extra oxygen creates a secondary combustion of the fire’s off gassing, molecules which usually create smoke if they aren’t burned. In the end we chose two as our top picks: the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 for most people and small backyards, and the Tiki Fire Pit for people with larger yards or those who enjoy the more patio-inspired looks of the Tiki model.Īlthough we did choose two favorites, note that in our testing nearly all the smokeless-pit designs worked more or less the same: They each have two walls (kind of like an insulated thermos bottle), and they leverage the difference in air temperature between those walls to create extra airflow through holes in the walls of the firepit. We spent four months testing nine fire pits in Hawaii and California. Few things are as pleasurable as a toasty fire in the backyard on a chilly evening.īut if you find that the accompanying smoke dampens the pleasure, or if your neighbors live close by and prefer to keep their bedroom windows open to catch the cool air, you might consider using a so-called smokeless fire pit, which eliminates some (but not all) of your fire’s smoke and most of the ash.
