    When someone says brad nailer they are referring to the 18ga finish “brad” nails that it shoots. 18ga is the diameter of the nail shank. The lower the number, the larger the diameter

  • @EngineersPerspective701

    I haven’t measured it but by feel and eye there is average to slightly higher than average runout on my 3404. Tend not to notice it while working and it’s about equal to my DCD999. I wouldn’t let it stop you from buying it but I could see it being an issue for people that are accustomed to better. The M18 new compact drill driver 3601 and fuel hammer drill 2904 are slightly better. The dewalt DCD800 I have is noticeably better than all the above.

    I think its great advice to buy a chef knife that will not break your budget and that you are not scared to learn sharpening and maintenance. There is one thing I disagree. Ribbed honing rod create massive metal fatigue and reduce edge durability. With daily maintenance on ribbed steel usually people go back to stone after one week. I cook about once a week and a 56HRC knife lasts shaving sharp without any touch up for about 3 months. Cheap chinese VG 10 at 60 HRC lasted over 8 months shaving sharp without any touch up until I stopped counting swapped it for another knife. At home I just hone on a 3-6k splash and go stone. A few alternating strokes edge leading is enough to bring it back shaving sharp. If you want to use honing rods I think ceramic is the best option.

    I wouldn’t recommend an 18ga nailer for fencing. Ideally a thin galvanized ring shank framing nail or collated nail would be best. You can get galvanized 15ga nails but not sure on ring shank. This would be your best finish nailer option.

    S110V is hard to sharpen, then goes dull for the easiest of reasons, it has driven me mad. I had to put it away. Now I always pick up my CPMS45VN, a good knife blade I can trust. Here is a trick. DON'T USE STONES to finish the S110V, I use my jeans material which comes up sharp fast. Anyway, the point is this, the A110V is frustrating. Just my experience. I know nothing about knives, just my experience. SO bad: I live in China, and I really thought I had a fake. But it was not.

    I’ve used one once in a store on some carrots so limited experience. I will say LOVELY handle, good balance like the meridian. However there isn’t a “Stealth” version so it’s thicker (3mm vs. 2.4mm) spine and heavier making it a noticeably worse cutter. I think you’d be 100% happy with the Olivia especially if you appreciate the looks as I do but I’d recommend the meridian stealth overall for the better performance

    So what sort of BESS score is paper towel cutting sharp with a nice clean cut? I have the Worksharp Ken Onion edition with the Blade Grinding attachment, Leather belt and other belts from Red Label abrasives, though main ones I use are the Stiff belts, and I have now sharpened 2 separate knives in around 15 min for both knives and got them Hair popping sharp, and paper towels are fun to cut too! Just a very clean SHWING as it goes through and a very nice clean cut going all the way through lengthwise! I do use a piece of wood to take off the burr after my leather belt with blue compound from Red label abrasives, and then just lightly run it over the belt again. Main thing seems to be getting a good apex, then proper deburring, then that final step of making sure everything is lined up. I don't have a BESS machine or a microscope, but I have cut up sone stuff with the knives and they just as sharp as before. They also both shave with a very light pass on the arm. The knives used was Foxell knives Lynx series chef knife which has much better build quality, fit and finish, blade geometry, than more expensive knives I have found. The other one sharpened was Dakstrong's Spartan Ghost Series 8" chef knife. Another one I didn't sharpen but is a really nice knife is Vosteeds Stallion series 8" chef knife which feels more like a good custom knife than a stanard production knife and came with an edge that easily and cleanly slices paper towels and shaves arm hair even after use as well as a very well done primary bevels which get nice and thin behind the edge. Anyway as said, I am interested in what that BESS score might look like! Thanks in advance! I hope this helps, and feel free to ask questions. These knives I bought with my own money, and these are my observations from my use and close inspection of them. I also have no affilliations with them other than conversations with Dalstrong's customer sevice and Foxell knives cofounder John, both of which I had reached out to after making my observations and using them. Both have provided great service, and John is a genuinely friendly and open guy who is fun to talk too and is transparent on what goes into Foxells knives! Sincerely, JS

    Definitely recommend getting new stones as you progress into sharpening. Unfortunately the stones I have are pretty spendy and don’t come back in stock often. Here’s the link though. www.triplebhandmade.com There are some other super vitrified diamond stones out there but similar pricing and availability issues. I’d recommend checking out some resin bonded diamond waterstones if you want an amazing stone that isn’t in the stratosphere of pricing. Naniwa makes the best but I strongly recommend the Venev ones from gritomatic! Links below. Cheers!

    I think it’s really about weight and packability. Biggest downside of battery nailers is the weight, so lots of overhead work would really make sense with the M12, assuming 1-1/2” works. Same goes for a tool that isn’t used everyday but here and there. A lot easier to bring it along or store in a modular tool box setup as a just in case option.
