Why isn't there peanut butter chewing gum?

Dunno - I know they don't have chocolate gum (at least *real* chocolate gum - not gum with chocolate flavoring) because of the cocoa butter not mixing well with the emulsifier. It's sort of the Holy Grail of gum makers to figure that out. At least that's the "official" story.

Possibly something similar is going on with peanut butter gum. I think gum and peanut butter are like matter and anti-matter. Or at least oil and water. They don't mix. So, better question: if they did make peanut butter gum, what would you use to get it out of your hair?

Spam. They use it to up link counts to get higher rankings on search engines.

Dewalt, don't get anything less than 18v.

I have a Makita that runs on a 7.2V battery. I'm pretty sure the voltage & amperage ratings on the drills ends up being a cost driver, so for around the house, not really high power applications, I think going with the smaller ones regardless of brand is what will save you the most money.

For $52 bucks, I would even try this 24v drill at Sam's.....if I knew anything about the 'Black Max' brand/label.

DeWalt's are good, but not exactly in the 'inexpensive' group.

And sometimes you get more than you expect.

It's so creepy, I know someone who's garage and part of their house burned down because of this.

I got one of those for Christmas last year. Heard about the recall right after. My husband turned it in for me and got a Makita 18V instead. I love it. It has a little light in the front.

This should do the trick for the routine stuff around the house...and power if I need it for bigger jobs:
