Hey Guys,
Fall is here and things have been going like gangbusters at Tool Box Buzz. Another new head to head is live with cordless cutoff saws being the belle of the ball this time. There are only 4 manufacturers making these right now so we were really able to go over them with a fine tooth comb. Check out all the action below.
Some of this month's additional content includes a How-To on rock solid half walls, winterizing the sprinkler system, and a few new tool reviews. And as always the YouTube videos are at the bottom.
Half walls are typically found in bathrooms, entryways, and around stairs. So how do you frame them so that they don't wiggle? Rob breaks down a couple of different methods so that your next build will be solid as a rock.
At our construction company, the landscape service we use has already come by to blow out our system. If you have a residential system, you don't need to hire someone to come a service it, Rob shows you how to take care of it yourself in time for winter.
MAKITA 18 Volt X2 (36V) 12 Inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Miter Saw Review
I remember when the 12" slider first came out. It was the end all be all of miter saws. Then things started going cordless and at the time I thought there was no way large tools would ever be without a cord. So does this Makita have enough snort to cut the cord for good on these beasts? Hit the link to find out.
What a time to be in construction. It was 5 years ago that we saw our first cordless cutoff saw (from Stihl). Now there's a total of 4 on the market. These cordless beauties are perfect for sizing up rebar and structural steel to making quick cuts in concrete and stone. We put the spurs to them to figure out who makes the best saw.

Check out our latest review of Metabo HPT's newest circ saw. It's part of their MultiVolt platform meaning it runs on 36V but can run off of a battery or AC adapter. It's a pretty ingenious system and this saw doesn't disappoint. Check out the link for all the details.
