I think the K cars had that issue.

We have a lot of Dewalt stuff at work. I think the chuck in the new 20V is crap compared to older 18V drill. Don't know that either battery is better. Just got some new packs for the 18s and I think they last pretty good. I had similar experience with Ryobidrill from 3-4 years ago dropping bits at previous job.
I think some are 'made to order' under different part #s. Usually very minor changes from other tools. Just so it's harder to make direct comparison of features and cost.

Yeah. I’ve got 3 Ryobi drills, 2 early ones and one newer model , the first gen chucks suck, the new ones, their Plus brand/model, is completely different. Very similar to my Milwaukee
My dewalt drill is well used, chuck end of drill is starting to get loose. I may replace it,as i use it a lot. And i have 6 or 7 batteries. A tiny spring in my 1/4” impact driver broke, i got 4 replacements for $5.
Blasphemy to compare a Superior Dodge to a ford or GM of the same era.
Did you actually think anyone here would say "sure, the GM is a better car" Not a chance
I would love to find a good 80s Diplomat or Gran Fury, comfortable good riding cars with outstanding style.
I would like to find one too.
I am only looking for an honest answer. No matter who makes them, sooner or later a car manufacturer will come out with a car that is not as good as all the others were. This does not mean the manufacturer is stupid or evil, or dumb. It is just that people miss things in designing stuff, and things happen.
And, not being from the US, and therefor having limited experience with all the different American cars over the years I either have to pop the question, or I have to continue living in the darkness.
I am truly sorry you were so offended by my question.

Good story...

It sounded to me that I hit a nerve, and I am sorry about that.

They have to (now).
And also a part of big purchasers leveraging manufactures to make look a like versions with cheaper parts inside.
HD got caught and settled some civil lawsuits over that. IIRC they used the same model number but inside there was a HD stamp which gave it away when Joe Shmoe brought his dewalt drill in to the repair center. it was the business about the same model number that probably helped the class action be successful.

Just doing what I do
Well, I decided to fight the Black Friday crowds and go to HomeDepot and get the insulation panels for the garage windows. It wasn’t bad out there, just light traffic and normal volume of customers in the store. I left here, got the panels and was back home in 40 mins.
I spent the rest of the afternoon cutting and installing them. Three 4’x8’ R10 Owens Corning Foamular 250 panels cut to size and installed in about 2 hours. 54 sq. ft that was just R1 is now R11. It made an immediate difference. The garage temp went up more than 5* and more importantly, the temp 10” off the floor went up about 9*.
I installed them on the inside of the bamboo mini blinds so that from the outside it looks like it always did. They are completely removable and I should be able to use them for many years to come.
Right now it’s 37* outside, 12 mph NW wind blowing right at the garage and it’s 69* at my bench with the entire 2 car 9’ ceiling garage being heated with only an oil filled electric radiator at a 900w medium setting.

We have a steel garage door, and bought also at Home Depot the Owens Corning insulation mats. I don't remember the size, but something like yours. But we did it for the heat in the summer. The afternoon sun is shining on the door and the garage got roasting so we could not be there and the difference could be felt as we mounted them. Then the winter came, and we had the same difference, just the other way, the garage can be used in the winter too. So, this is really a pleasant thing to have.

My garage door is steel too. I double insulated it to R5 a few years ago for both Winter cold and Summer heat (sun shines on mine all day in Summer too). It made a huge difference. Now with the windows insulated too, it has as much of an effect as doing the garage door did.
David, when I look at the pictures you share of your garage, I am almost tempted to say you seem to like Mopar and Dodge.

It be a lot cooler if you did...
Well...new brake lines, wheel cylinders, and spring kit...all done, went and drove it around for about an hour. Came home and sold all the remaining parts I had left...then....ordered a new carb for it, the old one is like 4 different ones frankencarbed together...just can't get it dialed.
Backreading done. Howdy all.
The coffee that Hoppy gave me, from you, was excellent.
If you were to build a 1 car work space, due to limited space. What size would you make it so it would fit at least a B body and still have room to work around the front and sides?

That was the Medium Dark roast. I am glad you enjoyed it. That is part of the fun of doing the coffee.
