I don't think so.
Quite a few things have been "leaked" and pretty much known as fact now. Also johnday On here has an inside source that has confirmed most of it too... sounds like it should be a pretty good bronc... now it won't make everyone but bringing back a classic from the grave will never win everyone over... too many opinions involved for that to happen lol.


Also interested to see the bronco videos from the Baja 1000

I really hope you are right. What I'm thinking is that they may add a Tesla looking suv and call it the bronco ev. I guess I should say that's what I'm more worried about.

i showed my wife the baja bronco preview and she is second guessing getting the explorer now. I told her I wouldnt be mad if she decided to go to a bronco when they come out but I would definitely be modifying it. Lol

My drill is a DCD777... a little higher end than I thought it was. I'm looking at a ROHM or Superior chuck to replace this POS. I have been watching a lot of videos, and apparently the new Milwaukee's are getting a lot of heat for shoddy chucks too. That ROHM is a German made chuck.... not sure about Superior, but they are both metal.

This is the chuck that is on it right now.... and this ad CLAIMS it is a Jacobs. I see zero indication that this is a Jacobs chuck, but IDK WTH.

EDIT: Amazon Answers pulls through.... The Superior is china made. No thanks!

I've read a few articles about the Mach-E (what I think it should have been called *without* the "Mustang" moniker), and am pretty impressed. "Top performance models of the Mustang Mach-E will achieve 0 to 60 mph in the mid-3-second range with an estimated 459 horsepower and 612 lb.-ft. of torque." Definitely Mustangesque performance, but they should leave that name for the cars. This is an SUV, and should have remained related but separate.

Ohio, I completely agree. It should have been allowed to stand on it's own rather than as a mustang. The numbers are impressive but it should have been named an explorer ST+ or escape ST+, the plus denotes it being electrically charged, but thats just my opinion.

I have a bit sharpener that is still in the package too, LOL. I have a crap load of black oxide bits that were my Grandfathers, or my FIL's (I got a lot from both). I got the sharpener for those bits to have a new life.
nice. i need to buy me some more small bits. a lot of them have broke. it sucks when im drilling a hole in metal, the bit gets caught and either snaps, drill twists your wrist or both.

Germany and Sweden should be good. I like the set up I have now, no chuck up-chuck problems lol. The Milwaukee's (3) , a 3/8 hammer drill, 1/2 HD and a 1/2 HS (Hole shooter) are indestructible. They are corded motors (only downfall) but have chucks. That said, I use the DeWalt/Makita combo most of the time. You would really like that combo white. I'd let you borrow it man, but I probably wouldn't get it back lol.

Anyway, the chucks covered in plastic don't seem to last or work good for long. It seems like all big name drills fell pray to crappy chucks at some point. Yea, you have to keep researching to find what you want I expect.

Did you fall asleep again?

So my laser printer decides to start doing this all of a sudden....



I ordered a new toner cart. I hope that's the problem. Won't know until I get it on Monday.

Yep... and another "not-so-great" night of sleep. Got woke up by an Amber Alert in the middle of the night too by my phone..... then 5 minutes later by my Wife's phone.

I've got the Makita chuck you posted in my Amazon cart. Probably add it to me Christmas list so the Wife has some stuff to buy me, LOL.

EDIT: Ohio, does that printer have a transfer ribbon? If so, chances are that will need replaced or carefully cleaned. I've had a defective cartridge lay big lines down before, but not a full sheet. My guess is you're going to be doing some cleaning.
