Re: Heads up on Ryobi drills and paint damage

I've got an older Ryobi 18 volt that isn't that bad but you have to make sure that the chuck is tight.

One thing about drilling into freshly painted sheet metal is that the filings from the drill get real hot and will burn into the pant and stick there. You want to be sure and cover the paint below where you are drilling.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
