    Best Battery Powered Tools - what say Mud?

    I agree that the hilti tools are great, but we've had great experience with dewalt stuffs at work, there were two drills which were already old and beat when I started, 4+ years ago, and we've since bought three more, and with the new batteries, the old drills are still performing admirably...

    What tool when Cutting 1/16" Brushed Aluminum Laminated on wood?

    just use a carbide blade, installed normally on the skil saw, as mentioned above we cut aluminum extrusions with wood blades all the time, and there is no excessive wear on the blade, I would think that 1/16 with plywood would cut just about the same as plain plywood get a roll of 3" masking...

    yep, but do the pilot with a 3/16 bit, (the double ended ones work great) to save wear and tear on the step drill, cause they're pricey

    Air Tool Kits??
