They can be useful off the bike too as a bungee replacement or when bikepacking for use with other equipment such as the Salsa Anything Cages.  

Most guitarists will already be familiar with this one. It’s perhaps the most obvious solution, and it has been with us the longest. A handful of inventive makers started putting master volume controls on their amps as early as the late ’60s, but this simple knob really came into its own with the Mesa/Boogie Mark I amps of the early ’70s, and then the Marshall Master Model amps—the 2203 and 2204 heads—of the mid-’70s. Soon, it was difficult to find a serious guitar amp that didn’t have a master volume there at the end of the control panel.

I ended up following drawn lines freehand, so I could push as hard and as fast as the saws would go while a helper recorded the times.

We’re disappointed that the company that gave the world the RamBox didn’t provide a special feature or two integrated into the Gladiator’s bed or hiding underneath. We’ve seen our share of air compressors, hidden storage bins, extra fuel tanks, and even outlets for 12-volt tools and kitchen appliances (ever had a blender on the trail or worksite?). A basic bed in a not-so-basic pickup doesn’t make much sense. How about a JeepBox?

Still, whether it’s a mechanical press brake or a state-of-the-art electric brake, how did these machines come to be called a press brake? To answer that question, we’ll need to delve into some etymology.

SawStop has an excellent stand and they’ve cleverly hidden the tool/miter/riving knife storage box under the side extension. Move the table extension and the box presents itself. Like DeWalt, two riving knives come with the saw—one with safety guards and one without. This keeps you from wondering how the pawls and guard go on the riving knife. Blade height fully adjusts with only one turn of the wheel. Not everyone was on board with this, citing less accuracy for dado and rabbet cuts. In the end, we showed we could be as accurate on the height as any of the other saws, so it’s a win.

Question: Why is a press brake called a press brake? Why not a sheet metal bender or a metal former? Does it have to do with the old flywheel on mechanical brakes? The flywheel had a brake, like that on a car, allowing me to stop the motion of the ram before the forming of the sheet or plate began, or to slow the ram’s speed during forming. A press brake amounted to a press with a brake on it. I’ve had the privilege of spending a few years with one, and for many years I thought that was why the machine’s name is what it is, but I’m not sure that’s correct. It certainly doesn’t sound right, considering the word “brake” has been used to describe sheet metal bending long before powered machines came along. And press break can’t be correct, because nothing is broken or shattered.

Rather than limit a vehicle by age please consider implementing emission testing as part of the annual inspection. Also actually measure the brake lining and tyre tread depth.

Charging times vary. Kobalt claims a 30 minute charge time for their compact 2.0 Ah pack, but Oregon says that their 4.0 Ah pack requires four hours in the charger. Ouch.

I’d add to the negatives unfortunately, the shock mounts are very low in the back and not protected, damaged easily off-road. The transmission pan is easily damaged and the truck won’t shift after that. The airbags deploy on simple terrain without reason. And man like you said the engines… The truck is NOT fun to drive.
