Well yesterday morning I went out in the shop to use my new Chicago Electric jigsaw. It has a rotateing locking mechanism to hold the blades in. I couldn't get the blades to lock in. I tried both Dewalt and Lennox blades and none would lock. I filed the powder coat off the edges of one and it seamed to hold, but as soon as I started cutting the locking collar broke into 3 peices. GERRRRRRR. Well off to HF I go. Got there and explained my problem to checkout girl and she called over the manager. They wanted to know if I wanted another one, and I said yes, if it will lock the blade in place. I took a new blade with me. Manager pulled a new one out of a box and neither of us could get a blade to lock into the replacement either. Went back to the checkout and the girl credited me for the tool and the warranty policy that I bought. From there I went down the street to HD and checked out their selection of corded jigsaws. The Ryobies had rotary locks and wouldn't clamp a blade either. The Milwulkees and Dewalts with lever locks and they worked, but cost way more than I wanted to spend. They had a cheepy homeowner B&D that just looked flimsey, so I walked out of there and drove up to Lowes I looked at their selection and found a B&D comercial grade tool in the price range I wanted to pay, and it had a lever lock. Bought it with the extended Lowes warranty and came home. I put it rite to work, and am very pleased with how smooth it cut. I'm cutting out 4-3/8"D holes in 12g steel for Grote recessed lights. It cut the arcs without binding and jumping like my Craftsman was. Whew;;; wasted a day, but progressing forward again now. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
