The cartridges on the Reaxx are replaceable after two uses. This is a huge cost saving for an activation. I am hoping to get the saw stop cabinet saw but if Bosch makes a cabinet saw in there.

AEG does offer brushless tools though. I know it's coming from Ridgid but the AEG line has had them for some time. Two months ago Home Depit had a special on a Ridgid drill and it was the exact same basic 18v AEG tool. The motor housing was rounded and it looked "different" from most Ridgid tools, almost like a Ryobi in Orange.

And tool fights! Want to see these machines slamming up against the other big boys!

Awesome purchase dude. I've got a Bosch LDM and even at home and in the shop its proven to be very useful. Dead nuts accurate too. That's what we call a "smart" impulse buy!

Id start here..... http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ridgid-table-saw-parts-c-7929_8171.html Or better yet call Ridgid. Also, welcome to the forum sir!

I haven't used AEG but they are a TTI brand like Ridgid. AEG is not available here in the USA for whatever reason. At least not through regular roots anyways. From what I have seen AEG has a larger tool base than Ridgid does in the USA. Also, the lifetime service agreement isn't offered for their tools. If I had to guess because of availability and popularity in EU and elsewhere. http://www.aeg-powertools.eu/ Id also add I love AEG just because of their commercials. Honestly laughed my butt off when I saw this one and their impact driver commercial.. I saw these a few years ago and they still crack me up. The guy in the commercial is a pro arm wrestler and has a medical condition that makes him have the obvious deformity you'll see......

Hahahahaha awesome stuff Comp!

I always prefer the lingerie photo.....whoa....whoa....whoa....wait a second......tool pics! I prefer the tool pics!

I heard from a good friend that not your fathers root beer is dangerous! Like root beer, you just can't have one!

Turner, that is a question for warranty. From what I have seen that machine is covered for 3 years.

Hi Jeff! Welcome to the self proclaimed toolaholic self awareness and help forum where we strive to improve livelihood whilst offering advanced techniques in the stifling the never ending urge to buy buy buy!

Won't fit in any of the smaller ones. I don't know about the biggest one, obviously not flat as the foot print is the same. The framer is huge!

Hey snohiker! Welcome to the forum dude! As far as the shears???? K-W-C...........you out there man??? We gots a member looking for some Dewalt news!!!!!!!

Hey Logan! Awesome shop you got there and way to go on that Rotozip! Awesome multipurpose tool with a lot of really cool abilities!

I'm really curious as to where they'll go with this Jason. There are pros and cons but I think your right, especially when you read the patent.

Festool TS55REQ. The rest I'd do with hand planes and old school joinery (mortise and tenon). The other option is my OF1400 router. I could use bits for break down but the saw would be better!

What brand screwdrivers? I use Klein and Wera and they are fantastic.

It'll be really interesting to see how this works and what the exact methodology is but I am thinking smart power consumption? Batteries last longer, controls how much juice the tool receives so it does not damage itself etc. of course that can also cause problems when you need to power the tool through a particular job. Having the wherewithal to manually control a tool can be a good thing for a guy or gal who knows how to use it.

Thanks Illini and further if you got down this sheet it specifically states what tools! Read down to claim 7; 1. A method of implementing a universal protocol on a plurality of power tools, the plurality of power tools including a variety of power tool types, the method comprising: generating an interfacing module including universal core module for implementing the universal protocol, the universal core module being generic to the plurality of power tools and including a set of rules enabling interpretation and handling of communications that are in accordance with the universal protocol, and an interface module particular to each of the power tool types, the interface module configured to translate communications on route to the universal core module to the universal protocol and to translate communications output by the universal core module from the universal protocol to another protocol; receiving, by a memory of each of the plurality of power tools, the interfacing module; generating application software and parameters particular to each power tool; and using the interfacing module of each power tool to install on each power tool the application software and parameters particular to that power tool. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the interface module includes: physical interface software enabling translation of communications between the universal core module and external devices; and tool component interface software enabling translation of communications between the universal core module and internal components of the plurality of power tools. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein generating the physical interface software comprises determining physical interface components and associated protocols for each of the power tool types. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing, at a physical interface of a power tool of the plurality of power tools, commands according to the another protocol; translating, by the interface module of the power tool, the commands from the another protocol to the universal protocol to form translated commands; providing the translated commands to the universal core module; and executing, by the universal core module, the translated commands. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating an update for at least one of the application software and parameters for at least one power tool of the plurality of power tools; and installing the update on the at least one power tool of the plurality of power tools using the interfacing module. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising capturing and storing performance data in the memory of each power tool of the plurality of power tools, wherein the performance data includes motor usage data; and reading the performance data from the memory of each power tool using an external device communicating with the interfacing module via a physical interface of each power tool. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the variety of power tool types includes at least two of: a drill, a circular saw, a jig saw, a band saw, a reciprocating saw, a screw driver, a grinder, an impact wrench, a rotary hammer, and an impact driver. http://patents.com/us-9055033.html

I was thinking along that line too, especially with the wifi icon. If that's the case you have to wonder if the new tools coming out are going to come with wifi built in to them. I noticed the Fuel II Hammer is to be released in line a month so that could be the case.

Hi Logan, welcome to the forum!

Actually that is a great idea. Of course it would be hard to do as the tool may have been a loaner or the user just plain forgets but that's a heck of an idea.

I just saw this post on Stuart's site http://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-one-key-predictions/ I know there's some speculation and there has been a topic posted but what do you guys think this will be. The release is right around the corner. I posted this on Stuart's commentary and I will repeat I here, Chrisk1970 says July 15, 2015 at 10:38 am agreed, wifi but…maybe a new type of Cellular phone or Tablet specifically designed for the field. A device capable of serving a contractor in the field that can allow instant transfer of information to “the office”, design, layout, photograph, monitor etc. In my humble opinion. This device could be slaved to electronic devices similar to Ryobi’ new entry into digital work but with a broad based device made specifically for work site conditions. With Ryobi already offering a basic set of electronics this could have set the frame work for Milwaukee to really dominate an area that is being doctored to work via apps that sometimes hit the mark and sometimes don’t. So what do you guys think? There are clues out there and this is all I can think of.

First off welcome to the forum! Also....wicked nice TV stand dude! That is going to be a beast getting the garage! Congratulations on winning, that's a great feeling.

Well good for you NaluRash, that sounds like something to be proud of. Plus your part of the company history.
