Job site saw- do you need a job site saw or can you go bigger and more stationary? It's a good saw.
Jigsaw- they are awesome. Corded or cordless? My cordless is fantastic and a brushed mod at that.
Sanders- great Sanders you won't be disappointed.

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...

I'll buy a "rest of my life" saw next year before any mandates come to pass, but if I did care about this technology, I'd wait until his patent died because I know there are superior systems that will come.
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...

So now you clowns have me standing in my garage sniffing screwdriver handles.
Wait, we're all sitting in our recliners on our phones, you're in your garage sniffing screwdriver handles, and WE'RE the clowns? ?

Fuck Gass. Fuck the guy who wrote that article.
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.

could try some 34 grit haha
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.

I'm curious if they will make a mod to fit existing airstream batteries for the tool or if you will have to buy the batteries that come with this. I will say from personal experience, they make a wonderful sander. There were some bearing issues with the new limited sander they released earlier but mine has been trouble free. I also run the RO90DX.
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?

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

I hear Felder is nice.
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.

Makita seems to put out the best impact drivers regarding size and power. That old brushed Milwaukee looks huge!!
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...

I have built two different decks using the M18 fuel. One the first generation, the second being the one-key. I didn't have a problem with either one, as they both drove screws just fine for me.
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...

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

I have the right angle drill too. I know it's m12, but I don't think it's great, by any means.
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.

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