  1. [mention=50861]rrich1[/mention] Didn't they have a stick pack 18v track saw? Festool also has a dual battery track saw that can run with either 1 or 2 batteries.

    They did have a stick style for a bit overseas. Every once in awhile one shows up on Ebay UK. I tried to get one a couple times but no one would ship it here.
  2. Man......who thunk Dewalt was a blue pill ?????



    Lol..maybe a little tmi...but yeah it would be cool. I signed up for the insights but have only got one poll that I didn't meet requirements for. Hoping it picks up soon...I like being in the loop.

  3. I like it for drywall work for sure. The pad protector is a must. I prefer Granat paper over it for wood sanding. Cost wise it is pretty close to Festool Granat I think.

  4. So this isn’t my idea. I have seen several guys add led tape light to their Planex. This makes great sense. Thanks to those guys for the original idea.

    I didn’t want the wire running all the way down the tubes and I didn’t want to tap into the power of the Planex at all and blow the warranty.

    I saw these led lights with USB ends on them. We have Bosch 12v batteries. I ordered an $8 light strip from Amazon and a Bosch 12v heated jacket holster. The holster puts out 5v 1amp through the USB port.

    It didn’t work right away. Not sure why. I think maybe something with the holster. It has an on button for the USB that you have to hold for 3 seconds. After fiddling with it for awhile it now works.

    I cleaned the area around the head with lacquer thinner. The strip stuck well. Then a little hot glue to hold the wire solid on the head.

    Right now just a zip tie holds the holster on the unit. You have to remove the holster to put the Planex back in the case so this seems to work. It lights up around the head nicely.

    Milwaukee has a similar holster for their 12v batts and Dewalt makes one for their 20v so this can be made to work with whatever battery platform you want. I like the smaller size and weight of the Bosch or Milwaukee.884f4f0b3085cbf3b48b29eaad357f09.jpg241dbc7216967d7475aefb80294916b4.jpgec8c563df117832bcb4bb35060500c4c.jpg9691fdc7c6cd4808b46ac7959f332b54.jpg

  5. It looks like they are using PPS liners too. How cool. This would be great for on site finishing or small jobs in the shop. I wonder if it can run a fine finish tip and push ProClassic trim paint...




    They have a model that can spray solvent based finishes too. I want to try one.
