Default How Do You Make These Cuts In The Field...Or Don't You?

Not a job I would take, but if I did I'd setup a big wheel bench cart
with generator and tools to drag behind me.Â* Something with a work
surface, and some room for carting stock.Â* In that environment I'd
probably spring for a "quiet" rated generator as well.Â* Some might
suggest battery tools.Â* There are some awesome battery tools out there,
but there is just to much work there unless you buy a LOT of batteries
and chargers.


Indeed. When that was built, the battery-powered option wasn't nearly
what it is today...I had never had battery-powered circular saw; figured
that other than for just the lightest of work wouldn't be able to cut it
(so to speak ).

I was totally blown away with the 20V DeWalt line the contractors had
doing the house remodel...they're up to almost all framing work to the
point when Ace had recent sale I ponied up for the impact driver,
drill/driver and circ saw at $99/ea. Two had charger and 1/2 batteries,
the saw was bare but still end up w/ the three tools, two chargers and
three batteries for $300.


The nice thing is you are building the surface you need to make the cart
roll more easily.
