  1. Check out the Bahco 2448 it's rather a versatile chisel.
  2. I've noticed that an excellent blade could last up to 5 times longer vs a cheap blade. An excellent blade is not 5 times more expensive than a cheap blade. Sharpening would also mean than you have a blade being sharpened while you are using the other. Than implies a larger number if blades to allow this rotation.
  3. My 2 cents: - Pfeil chisels are very good and rather easy to sharpen. I'm not a huge fan of their handles though. - Veritas Butt chisels ( PM-V11 steel): pricey but not crazy pricey. Edge retention is stunning. Excellent quality value. Amazing wood handles. In a more "contractor" environment: the latest Hultafors chisels are built like a tank, razor sharp but probably not for delicate work. Hope this helps
  4. The true question is to know whether it's interesting in terms of cost. Sharpening would be good if you can sharpen the blade at least twice but I don't really know the average cost of a pro sharpening service
  5. Just pulled the trigger on a Festool Domino 500. Should receive it in a week or so. More about this little bad boy soon !!
  6. Thanks everyone, the Oil Impact version looks quite tempting too !
  7. I've been drooling over the Festool Syslite Duo but couldn't justify spending so much money on a tripod + light. This one looks very tempting. Any other happy users who bought it ?
  8. Thanks chaps. Will wait a bit to see if the need to invest in an impact is getting really obvious. Let's see how things go.
  9. Hi again, I can't find the Makita XDT08 or XDT09 in Europe. Can you please confirm that the equivalent seems to be the DTD146 ? Thanks !
  10. Thanks for your feedback. I'm guessing that having an impact driver would mean that keeping a regular power drill would be irrelevant ? Unless you can drill properly / at all with an impact driver ?
  11. Hey Jimbo, Thanks for that. Never been a big fan of Dewalt but I'll have a look at Milwaukee. Don't understand why there are soooo many models to choose from (speaking of Bosch and Makita)
  12. Hi guys, I haven't been on TIA lately (been super busy on several personal projects) so I'm back ! So far, I have only one powerdrill the Festool T15+3 and I have to say I've been super happy with it so far. It seems the Festool TI15 is discontinued...didn't lived up to its reputation ? Because of that, I'm considering either Makita (XDT08 or XDT09 ?) impact drills since it seems they are the king of impact drills at the moment but I still have a soft spot for Bosch impact drills too (I have a Bosch SDS rotary hammer I absolutely love). It is unlikely that I will use the wrench feature... but will mostly use the internal hexagon attachement. Here are a few things I would need your input on: - My Festool T15+3 drill is a 14V. Shall I stick to 14V as well for the impact ? I'm thinking the 18V would really be overkill (as we as I thought a 18V powerdrill would have been overkill for my needs). I love the compactness / weight of the 10V but I think the "oomph" of the 14V would come handy. - There are lots of features to look for. Besides weight and max torque, any particular spec I should look at ? - Impact drills can be (very) noisy. In your opinion, is it something to be taken into account ? Don't want to end up wearing ear plugs everytime I'm using it. Thanks everyone.
  13. Can't really understand why Bosch came up with 3 different Starlock systems. C'mon, they invented the SDS. They could have applied the same approach
  14. Ideally, the best would also to wear vibration dampening gloves. [emoji846] I have the Fein Supercut handle attached to my MultiMaster
  15. The benchmark would be : http://www.hammerusa.com/products/list/category/93b07c67e9242d14f8e153a5806fbdfb/region/us-us The A3 41a If not: http://www.holzkraft.de/download/kataloge/index.html http://www.holzkraft.de/produkte/holzkraft/hobelmaschinen/index.html
  16. Recent purchases : Fluke T90, Weidmuller stripping tool. Crimping plier is standing by. [emoji28]
  17. Hi Chris, Are you happy with you Dust Deputy / Festool Midi ?
  18. Sorry for the confusion guys but the 260€ trolley is from Tanos.
  19. @Yellow: [emoji6][emoji1][emoji23][emoji1][emoji23][emoji1][emoji23]
  20. @pennywise: I'm guessing that when you have $10000 worth of equipment , you can spent a few hundreds on a trolley but for this price I would expect the trolley to climb the stairs by itself [emoji123]
  21. I have the Festool trolley and one of the biggest drawback is that you can't fold it, and as it is, it can be quite cumbersome (and it is). I have to say that Festool guys should spend some time at Dewalt's R&D since Dewalt came up with something betterly designed and...did I say cheaper ?
  22. Hmmm...just noticed that my chinese Torx scredrivers are a bit odd: T10 blade tip is bigger than regular Festool T10 bits and T15 blade is smaller than Festool T15 bits. You've guessed it: my chinese T10 and T15 are identical ! I'm buying Wiha blades as we speak.
  23. @jasonc: this chest is a true masterpiece and...not for sale, yet ? [emoji56]
