Hey everyone, I’m a trim carpenter in the US. I’ve always used Dewalt but my tools all got stolen recently and I’m currently using my beater/at-home Ridgid set while I decide on what my work set is going to be. I’ve settled on Makita and am wondering what you think the best options are for everything. I’m prioritizing lighter weight and don’t need just crazy power since I exclusively do trim. Currently looking to pick up a drill and impact, 6 1/2” circular saw and multi-tool. Will also want a random orbit and palm router soon.

Edit- meant to say random orbit sander and palm *router*.

Hey everybody, I’m a trim carpenter and I pretty exclusively wear double knees to work in. I wear a 30x34 so I’m really thin and B01s look crazy on me. I have a pair of Rugged Flex BN3334-M that are my absolute favorite pants; I wear them constantly because I much prefer the heavier canvas of them as compared to like the Rigby or something. The only problem is other pairs of them I’ve found haven’t felt nearly as heavy. Someone please help me lol

Hey everybody, like the title says I’m wanting to get into chainsaw milling and am looking for advice. I have 5 saws but only my 365 is close to capable of the job. I think ideally I’d like to get something like a 395 for a dedicated milling saw and use my 365 for felling. I’ll be cutting primarily pecan and mesquite.

Is anybody using the Oxy Finisher bags? Fixing to pull the trigger but just wanting some opinions. Specifically wondering about the front mounted metal hammer loop which worries me a bit.
