Good point.......but I need another project like a hole in my head. I have a garage full of dirt bikes, quads, 3 wheelers and jet skis.... oh what the hell, I may look at it this weekend
Its supposed to look like a thiftside bed from the J trucks. And it's 1000% better looking than hillbilly homemade sister screwing trailer living flatbeds that are out there.
Anybody looking for a good cordless impact wrench, Amazon deals of the day includes the DEWALT DCF899P1, which is the 700/1200 ft/lb model, with bag, charger, and 5 amp hour battery for $249
If anyone's interested in some free Makita 9.6 volt stuff, let me know. I still have some drills, chargers, and even a few batteries that hold a charge. Those were the standard in the construction industry 25-30 years ago.
I bought a couple of knockoff 4.0 ah Makita from Amazon for less than the cost of one
genuine Makita. Less than a year, one won't charge, other is still good so not sure if it was worth it or not yet.
That's what I'm gonna buy instead of sctual Makita batteries. It's actually cheaper for me to buy a combo with 2 5aH, impact, drill and imoct driver for less than buying just the impact and the 2 batteries. New name brand batteries are stupid expensive

That's where I'm at. 3 or 4 years in, the originally three Makitas all still work and hold charge. But I wanted a couple more with the impact. I payed less for these two than I would have for one Makita brand name. Ask me in a year or two if it was worth it.
My knock off battery lasted one year. One of my original makita batteries is still alive after 6 years the other died after 4. I might pony up and get a makita 5ah
Amazon had some great deals on a couple of the dual 20v tool kits that included 2- 5ah batteries, and an additional 2- 5ah batteries. Unfortunately I already had the chain and circular saws, didn't need the leaf blower.
But sometimes it's worthwhile to look at kits where you can get an additional tool for not too much more than the cost of the batteries.
