Congrats Chase! Enjoy your new toy.

That's not even half of the story. After I was looking at that and had that in my cart I started to look at the other Milwaukee tools and got the Fuel Sawzall with 2 battery packs and charger.

I'm a sucker. It was a deal that I could not pass up. Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 1/4 in. Cordless Hex Impact Driver Kit with Free M18 Right Angle Drill $179.00

I could use a new right angle drill.

I have been using the Bosch JS572EBL Barrel grip and the Bosch JS57SEL Top handle and they have never let me down.

It depends on who much you are going to use it and is it worth the $350.00 for the saw and $200.00 for the accessories. I have a friend that is a cabinet marker and he has slowly changed all of his tools over to Festool. He uses his tools every day and he tells me they are well worth it to him but for someone like me the occasional user it is a hefty price to pay. I really like my Festool track saw. It glides and plunges as smooth as glass on the track but the cut is no better than my DeWalt that I had.

I really like the Tough box. They have been dropped down steps bounced around in the bed of the truck. Now the Tstak I just have the one I keep pins, key way pins and things like that and I would say that they are light duty.Not sure how they would handle a tumble down the steps

I used to have job boxes. I now have 6 of the DeWalt tough boxes. It is a lot easier for me to move these around. Dan eluded that Milwaukee will be coming out with some type of storage system. It will be interesting to see with what they come up with.

That is so great Conductor. You just gave your son a life time memory. The part about how mechanical a 4 year old can be will surprise you. I would show and teach my son about building, fishing, or whatever from the time he could ask and he still remembers things I have forgot. The day will come when Conductor Jr will say Hey dad remember when and your mind will go back to that day and put a smile on your face.

It really was a great time. I will be glad when they come back home in July. From the look of things everyone had some great scores.

You will love the T55 track saw. You will wonder how you ever did with out it.

I made out like a bandit. I got the Milwaukee 2797-22 M18 FUEL 18V Cordless Lithium-Ion 1/2 in. Drill Driver and Impact Driver Combo Kit and the Milwaukee 2630-20 18V Cordless M18 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw (Bare Tool). But the best gift this year was that my wife and myself where able too watch our 2 year grandson that is living in Nairobi, Kenya open his Christmas gifts via Skype.

You are one lucky man! Enjoy your new found wealth of tools.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New year !!

Looking good Conductor but, we all know that after the first project those tool all hung up nice & neat will be in a pile somewhere.

This is a nice saw. Last year I went to the Wood working show here in town and one of the speakers where talking on small shops. The speaker had been writing for fine woodworking for years and he could not say enough about this saw. Good luck and let us know how you like it.
