Dang, I like that 3 piece kit... looking forward to reading tests on the new saw...

1. Just keeping my options open in case I need a jobsite saw down the road. 2. Barrel grip corded as of right now. I REALLY don't want to get into another battery platform right now. Three is enough. 3. I've had an ROS20. I really liked it. I'd buy another, and I'd like to get a 6" sander as well. But the siren song of Festool is also calling me...

Don't make me revisit my rant about L-boxxes... Bosch tools on my radar... miter saw routers worm drive circular saw (maybe) jobsite table saw (maybe) jigsaws sanders (maybe) I just noticed there's nothing there that's not at least a couple of years old...

What'cha thinking about getting, C-man? I am thinking about tricking out my grandfather's old Craftsman saw but after I buy an Incra fence system and miter, I'm getting, cost wise, to be into an old saw for a big chunk of a new one.

Ooh, they actually have an M12 1/2" ratchet? I always wanted the Euro M12 Fuel impact wrench...

Wait, we're all sitting in our recliners on our phones, you're in your garage sniffing screwdriver handles, and WE'RE the clowns? ?

It's NPR, dude. They don't really like capitalism or the free market. Someone might not think the correct socialist thoughts.

Most likely, if I buy any more grinders, they will be Metabo (the made in Germany ones). Probably not going to dive into their cordless stuff... I'm too invested in Milwaukee and Makita.

Buttload of 60 grit.

Yeah, I've been here three years and had never refinished it. I didn't go any finer than 80 grit, as I was getting it ready to sell (and it's a damn deck, it gets stuff dragged across it), but I wanted something a touch more aggressive to deal with slightly warped edges. 14' x 44' deck and I was feeling it in my poor old knees.

Do you still have the convertible 5"/6" Bosch? The reason I ask is I was sanding my deck and the 5" Milwaukee ROS I was using was just a smidge too big to not over lap a few of the boards, and was really itching to buy an RO90, but wonder with the smaller pad if that makes it less ideal for use as an everyday sander. I follow Festool on FB but missed this. I assume it will be an orbital sander VS random orbital, or did those mad German scientists come up with a convertible system?

Lofty goals, buddy!

Probably not going to assemble and finish (stain) my harebrained projects though. LOL

Holy schneikes! Those things better finish projects themselves!

No sweat, you mentioned Gen1 and Gen2 and figured you were talking about the normal impact driver.

I'm looking at picking up an 18v impact driver. Looking at this Makita or an M18 Surge. Im dubious whether (for my limited uses) the Green one is worth the extra dinero over the Red one... It is a sweet tool, though...

The Surge?

So I read somewhere about one of the other fluid impacts not really being good for building a deck. Would those who have one would you consider the M18 appropriate for deck building?

Man, I was hoping this thread would take off! I could totally nerd out on squares...

My use for a miter will be to just set it up in a shop and probably never move it, so the weight of the Bosch won't be a problem, so that's probably the way I'd go. Barring a lottery win, then I'll become a bigger Festool snob than ChrisK. LOL

Late to the party. I was a day late (and, of course, several dollars short) for the Delve speed square. I'm gonna pass on the MFT fastening set. We'll see what's next...

If you're like me it's not your memory, it's your selective listening. LOL

That surprises me that the Metabo would perform so poorly...

I haven't used mine enough to say.

I wouldn't say it sucks, but I bought a 3amp random orbit sander, and it doesn't really compare to the Bosch ROS20 I had stolen by my GF's loser kid. Vibrates more, less controllable, dust extraction isn't as good and the title box fills up fast. It soes remove material pretty well. It's not that it is useless, but i got the M12 right angle drill on an HD promo, but I don't really have a use for it.
