Tools

Most of the tools I work with down in the Cave are either hand held or battery operated. I like using DeWalt's 18 volt battery operated tools. They carry a long charge, and the 18 volts have plenty of power to drill all day long if need be, saw holes in walls, or cut sheet goods.

If I know that I am going to be cutting a lot of wood, I have an old Craftsman 10 inch chop saw that handles the cutting chores.

None of my battery operated tools seem to be affected by this, but the chop saw loses it's automatic brake after a while down there. I believe that is is due to the high moisture content because if I take it up top to dry out, the brake begins to work again.

When you are working 80 feet underground, you require tough tools to get the job done. DeWalt has done me proud down there and I plan on continuing using them down there.
