milwaukee m12 12-volt lithium ion hackzall cordless reciprocating saw Review

 Milwaukee hackzall review.  Aka little milwaukee sawzall that you can carry in your bag.  I got this from home depot on a black friday sale for $100 plus shipping.  With shipping it was ~ $110.  Came with a charger, 1 battery, a little bag and the tool itself.

I knew about this tool cuz another guy at work had it and I loved it.  Truthfully I think I should have opted for a more powerful battery (the milwaukee 2719). I have seen that get better reviews.  

Honestly this version I got is a piece of shit. The battery is horrendous and dies really fast. I could only make 4 cuts on a 1/4 inch rod before the battery died.  Had to make about 15 cuts and it took me 4 hours cuz I had to constantly recharge the battery.  

This thing is garbage and was a complete waste of money.  I use the bag for other tools.  So basically I paid $110 for a bag.  DO NOT BUY THIS.  

Home depot puts this onsale for the same price with the same bundle every black friday and memorial day( or labor day I mix these two up all the time).  DONT fall for it.  IT SUCKS!!!!!

If you want this spend the extra money on the 2719.  Or even just buy a real sawzall.  If you cheap out you will just end up spending more money in the long run getting another one.  

 I dont even know what to do with this thing cuz I dont want to use it cuz of the bad battery it is just taking up space in my closet.  

On scale of 1 to 10.  I give this a 2/10 just cuz the bag is awesome.  Otherwise fuck this thing.  The m12 is dog shit.  

samurai champloo anime review

This anime is pretty damn good.  I give it an 8/10.  It is about a girl who manipulates to ronin in assisting her in a search for a mysterious samurai who smells of sunflowers.  

The overall search for this man progresses very slowly.  The beginning of the show is mostly one shot episodes featuring the characters getting themselves into dangerous or humorous situations.  We get to know the characters.  The characters get to know each other making an enjoyable experience for the viewer.  The sword fights are really amazing and entertaining.  The main reason I watched this show is cuz I just finished watching kenshin not to long ago and had an urge to watch more samurai action.  

This show depicts a more darker tone on the way samurais acted back in those days.  Whether it is historically realistic or not Idk.  I dont research stuff like this do it yourself.  While the samurai atmosphere is dark in this show it is not too dark.  Blade of the immortal and the movie 13 assassins was too dark for me.  But the darkness of samurai champloo was just right.  

The artwork is great as well.  

There are drawbacks to this show.  The ending was a little depressing for me.  And tbh Idk if I would rewatch this show.  That is where it lost points on when I decided to give it a rating.  

If you want to see some awesome samurai action watch this show.  It is short only about 26 episodes and it is better then alot of other stuff out there today.

After War Gundam X review

This is a pretty good anime.  I am giving this a 7/10.  It was entertaining and has a lot of positive points but it also has its drawbacks.  Both of which will be touched on in this review.  


I finished this anime in its entirity.  It has a lot of good actions scenes.  I enjoyed the music in it as well.  The opening songs are fantastic and gave me goosebumps every episodes.  But the best feature of this anime is that the characters are all lovable and easy to care for.  This is the first show where I didnt completely hate even a single character.  Not all of them got their backstories fleshed but it doesnt matter to me I still like them.  Garod and Tiffa are fucking great and it is hard not to root for them to be together.  

There are drawbacks to this anime.  The artwork and animation are god awful ( I guess that is what you get for early to mid 90s).  It honestly looks like something from 1978.  The animation and artwork style look exactly like that of the show gatchaman.  The gundams look like poor mans versions of a few of them from gundam wing.

X and double X look like Gundam wing.  Royabea gundam looks like heavy arms. The older frost Brothers gundam looks like epyon.  I think Gundam X was before Gundam wing in terms of release dates.  

The story is a little weird i watched all the way through and still have a hard time describing what a newtype actually is.  

I enjoyed it a lot but I would not re-watch this.  It also takes a while to get hooked on this.  I was considering dropping this until about episode 12. That is when it starts to get interesting.  Only reason I even stuck around that long is cuz I read reviews that said this show as great.  

Overall it loses points for the aformentioned drawbacks and I would not re-watch it for these exact reasons.  But it is decent if you have nothing else to watch.
