#olfaallproteam #ambassador …The @olfacuts 45-C is perfect for cutting on finished surfaces. But what I like about this the attention to detail on the cutter head. An engraved dial on the cutter wheel gives 12 cutting portions. Each with a new full exposure. #olfacuts #madeinjapan #japanesesteel #rolledmaterialcutter #safetyblade (at Midtown Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B12mH8mgrBd/?igshid=1e52ggfcu3m3 ..read more

Kids in the shop, kids on garbage duty, me keeping my skin intact. These disposal pucks from @olfacuts are ideal for taking care of the still dangerous snapped off blades. #OLFAcuts #snapoffblades #safetyfirst #staysafe • . . . . . #intheshop #containment #renovate #remodel #renovation #homeimprovement #trim #millwork #tools #finishcarpenter #interior #finecarpen ..read more

#olfaallproteam #ambassador … I’ve been an #OLFAcuts user for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried other blades but they generally fall short. The new aluminum body MPX paired with the speed blades has been my go-to for daily tasks. And with the the selection of handles, blades, and specialty items I’m confident @olfacuts has a knife for your task. #handtools #boxcutter #razorknife #xactoknife #snapblade https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pyawog73T/?igshid=12hul2k8snutg ..read more

To put this clip in perspective, that a full depth cut though 5 sheets of 7/16” OSB first thing in the afternoon following a morning of deficiency framing. And I still finished the day on the same batteries. If your still on the fence, consider this me pushing you off. #notyourgrandpascordlesstools #cordlesstools #byroncutsthecord #noturningback #co ..read more

Putting my back framing kit together again. I had the same gear in the large packout box but I decided to go with the rolling base this time. Gives some extra room to fit a cordless framing nailer and it means less carrying. Thinking about getting some @kaizen_inserts tread sleds as this box will be seeing a lot of stairs. • In the box I’ve got: @boschtoolscanada Freak (IDH182B) and custom bit case (DDMS40) @makitatools 36V circular saw (XSR01) and 36V recip saw (XRJ06) @hilti line laser (PL-2) Along with spare blades and a half size packout organizer for my batteries. • Last thing t ..read more
