PVC shower pan liner from works well.

Anyone who's used one knows you roll it off in neutral so as not to consume battery life. And hey, a mini excavator might not be far off. DeWalt has a prototype 9 ton log splitter (still has hydraulics). EGO has a battery powered 52" zero turn mower that will cover 4 acres on a single charge...

You could dig a 8' x 10' x 18" spread footing in under 30 seconds with the cordless rotary.

Didn't say it was exclusively about signs, but that was the topic when cordless tools were brought up in the thread. My point was just that when it comes to sign installs, or removals, for that matter, cordless tools can basically hang with corded tools. There are obviously advantages and...

Well done

I think this just got sidetracked a bit. The discussion was about cordless tools and sign installations. Then it got turned into production work on trailers. Without any real details, I'm not going to argue whether or not cordless tools could work on redecking trailers, when they would be...

Once or twice what...? What's the problem exactly? What were you using a recip saw for at your shop?

I'm genuinely curious. What are these trailers for that you build? What are you using a drill for - are you driving self-drilling screws through lumber then through steel cross members?

Whether it's a hotel or not has nothing to do with requiring Braille. The Contractor will need code-compliant signs for his TCO and CO.

I'd use a cordless recip and a Diablo Steel Demon blade. It would blow through the stub pipe and the square tube like butter. No generator, no cords, no torches, no tanks.....a cordless recip and a blade.

If you're going to sell and/or install ADA signs and aren't using a consultant, etc., you need to familiarize yourself with the ADA, IBC and IFC requirements related to each specific sign type.The answer(s) are probably much more in depth than you're thinking. Stairway ID signs need to be...

I completely agree with your last paragraph. Every source of power (electric, gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, solar) has a downside and I don't think any human can accurately predict which is best long term. I try to do the best I can environmentally with what I have but there are still negative...

For my needs, I can't think of any install situation where I'd rather drag a cord around and have a generator running than having the portability of a cordless tool. They may be stronger, but if they are, it's marginal and corded tools are typically heavier and more cumbersome than cordless...

Ah....yeah, if you have employees, that could factor in to just staying with corded.

These things run forever on batteries. I've drilled a few hundred holes with just a couple of batteries. Cords are dead. Just invest in a few good batteries. I bought the small 20v one for more delicate materials like quartzite. There's also a 12v version which is slightly weaker that I'll...

Oh gees. I wouldn't dream of using that smaller one for any dirt work. The top two are meant for it though. I'd give you a good deal on one of the top two if interested. I would just need to figure out which one I want to part with.

Second one from the bottom is great for holes in concrete. How exactly are you using it to dig holes in dirt? With chisel bits or something? The top two are more meant for dirt work, light demo work, etc.

I use a cordless 1-9/16" rotary hammer with a Hilti clay spade bit (part number is pictured if interested). Works pretty well on the rocky stuff. Also have the 1-7/8" rotary hammer that I may switch to. Bought it for a project and wound up not needing it and haven't decided whether to keep it...

I have a potential install there and could use an extra hand if it pans out. PM me if interested.
