Much complaining about nothing. Here’s the translation of what FakeNews.PickupTrucks.com is really trying to say:

Although some speaker emulators are separate units unto themselves, most contain some form of internal load box which functions much as that in the reamper above. This load box receives your amp’s full-power speaker output and taps it off to a line-level signal that feeds the speaker-emulation circuit. That’s where things can be done very differently: Some units use an analog filter network to simulate the sound of a speaker cabinet, while others carry advanced digital emulations derived either from complex reactive modeling (much like that used in modeling-amp technology), or from impulse responses (IRs) created by recording actual speaker cabinets. Note that these devices require an external power amp and speaker (such as a PA system) to reproduce the speaker-emulated signal.

Would depend on whether you wanted a power meter. But I’d think that if I was planning on getting a power meter in a few months time (or really, anytime soon), I’d just get it over with and start benefiting from the power meter.

This is classic, heavy-duty, large-workpiece welding and fabrication, and until recently the fabrication department had to deal with the classic large-part-fabrication problems, especially when it came to material handling and welding; three years ago, both created significant constraints.

I’m honestly 10x as interested in the mountain bike version, where I can still upgrade a non AXS Eagle bike to AXS for just a new derailleur and shift button. The road version just doesn’t offer a gearing combo that is an improvement over anything readily available, and the prices are eye watering.

Stores have been running online sales all weekend long, but the discounts should still be significant, making it the perfect time to shop for Christmas gifts.

In fact, the only thing I’d classify as an extreme oddity on this ride was this herd of bighorn rams grazing in suburbia on the grass of a hotel of some sort:

The 21.6 voltage has two players – the blade-left Hilti SCW 22-A, and the less conventional right-bladed Kobalt KCS 6524B-03 (technically listed as 24-volt Max).

User preferences vary, but I can appreciate both adjustment methods. I like the speed and convenience of tool-free adjustments for my small saws. For my big saws, I feel more confident securing the business end of these powerful tools down with a wrench. It’s not a deal breaker either way for the saws in our test. The best battery-powered chainsaw for you will be the one that instills a sense of both confidence and convenience.

The dry weight of saws in our best battery-powered chainsaw shootout range from 12.15 to 14.41 pounds. Experience shows that a saw’s weight is less important than proper balance overall as you only feel the weight when you are NOT cutting. But carrying around and positioning a heavy saw can certainly be more taxing over a long workday. The catch with these saws is that the batteries are a major part of the weight. So the stronger, longer-lasting saws with high-capacity battery packs that we prefer are among the heaviest, with the exception of the Kobalt with its longer bar and chain which make it the heaviest overall.

Mercedes typically shines under the bright lights of the big city., This year, however, I felt I’d seen everything. Not that the cars were tiresome (no chance of that), but few stood out among the sea of sexy cars and SUVs. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe was an exception.

Other Features: Plunge-cutting, fits Festool tracks and special miter guide rail (FSK 420) that sets for precision crosscuts or miter cuts up to a 60° angle to the left or right, vac dust port, battery gauge on tool.
