Conductor562 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't wear a hard hat anymore, but if I did...A cordless helmet fan available in Japan. It can't be that much hotter over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'd also like to add that I can't say for sure none of these are available here, but I certainly haven't seen any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Anyone noticed any tools abroad they'd like to see here in the states?Yes, there is a bunch of tools I would love to have, a lot of them I just can't understande why they are not here.

PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't care who you are, the Makita cordless electric bicycle is just awesomeThat would be so cool to have if we could equip it as a kind of rolling toolbox, with a couple saddle bags and a decent top box, I could see myself cruising around some jobsites doing punch list type work. Then again, I could see that being an auxiliary vehicle to a larger work truck set up.I wish more mini trucks where accepted in our country, I would love to have one for aound town and larger jobsites, espeically the 4 wheel drive models, with AC off course, something lacking in most utility ATV that I would really apreciate working here in Florida with all our heat and humidity.There are a lot of compact tractors we don't get here either.

PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 This is cool...We can get a better stapler hereI would much rather have an 18v tool than a 3.6v tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Not sure I really need one, but I want one..That would be nice, a detail sander like Festools DX 93 E would be nice to have cordless as well, especially if it was 18/20v, even though it does cross over towards multi-tool territory.

PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 For your next job in an attic or crawl space. Or perhaps your next Tsunami crisis?I think I would prefer a radio with an area light rather than a flash light in 36v please, and while I'm dreaming, have it charge all the batteries.

PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I wish we could have Protool tools here. A whole line of premium tools we are denied.I really want to try a portable circular saw with a riving knife, if for nothing else, for the novelty factor. I have to wonder why they are mandatory some places and not commonly available here on anything other than a plunge saw.Flip and combo saws are some others that have been discussed here on the forum before that look very interesting. .There are a few radial arm saws I would like to get a look at, even though I don't think I would buy one with the excellent ones we have produced domestically from Northfield and the Original Saw company.

Conductor562 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Those mini trucks started popping up everywhere around here 3 or 4 years ago. Don't know where they went, but I haven't seen one for a year or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Those mini trucks started popping up everywhere around here 3 or 4 years ago. Don't know where they went, but I haven't seen one for a year or more.They can be a pain to get road legal in some places. Here in Florida they have to be restricted to 35 mph and run as a slow speed vehicle. Insurance is the same as a real truck. Some places are even harder to get them registered/insured, so I'm guessing they may have disappeared into the farms and or woods.Link to states laws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
