Welcome Brian!! Glad to have you here.. post some pics of your bench if you get a chance. (Let us know if you need a tutorial on how to attach pictures)
When you say traditional building, do you mean with hand tools only??
Feel free to fire away the questions.. we're all here to help and learn from eachother!

Thanks John I appreciate that! How's about running a small paint gun on the compressor? I'm thinking for applying lacquer and stain to products? I watched Dave Reinhold run a framing gun on his! He wasn't speed nailing but it was doing a great job!
framing gun should be fine, you just cant go crazy like back nailing plywood super fast... i have used it for light framing as well as nailing of plywood and even roofing guns.. its just not the compressor you are gonna use if you were building an addition or roofing a house... thats when i roll out my gas wheelbarrow Rolair! that thing is a beast but its loud to listen to it all day...
as far as a paint gun, check the cfm rating of the guns your looking at... they can be all over the place. rolair lists the jc10 at 3.8cfm/40psi and 2.35cfm/90psi those numbers should tell you what tools you can and cant use with it

well i was talking to a dealer the other day and he said he should have the dual charger any day now, and the brushless circular saw and new impact driver by the end of febuary.. 5.0 batteries seem to be around as well as they just released a new brushless jig saw.
-
Dude. That is one nice looking pile of tools tight there!! I'm super excited for you!
The only thing I can comment on is the JC10 your gonna love that thing.. being in an indoor shop you will really appreciate how quiet it is..
don't expect to be running g a hvlp gun off it or high consumption air tools but for things like nail guns, blow guns, inflating tasks I don't thing there is a better compressor out there.
They had an issuextra with the drain plug when they first released.. it was a knurled brass screw plug and it was impossible to make it not leak. They sent replacement 1/4 turn valves with little black handles to anyone who needed it and I'm sure they stared using the new part on all the current production but just something to check... even if you have the old style and it leaks air, I found rolairs customer service to be among the best!!
Ooh, ps.. if you didn't know, like any compressor your gonna want to drain the tank often.. I usually leave the valve open during longer periods of no use. Condensation builds up in the tank and will prematurely rust it out
-
That's similar to my Carvex but I'm gonna get crazy and say makitas feature sounds a little nicer! On the Festool it is in soft start mode only until the first time you apply pressure to the blade.. it won't slow back down again until you turn it off.. there are times when I'm cutting in and out of a board and wish it would slow itself down between cuts without turning the tool off.
The noise and battery usage are bonuses to me but it is really about how much easier and cleaner you can start the cut that I love about it.
Now I want the dang Makita even more!!
-
See, I almost think that I would prefer a super small 12v scms over an 18v (unless the 18v was also suuuper small) for the very light duty and small jobs the saw would be as small and light as possible for all other jobs it probably makes sense to break out the corded saw
that way you have both ends of the spectrum covered
just a thought
-
What a good deal!! Nice score man
-
.......and between the 3 it appears the difference in quality is like splitting hairs so it makes sense to take the best value........
Couldn't agree more! Focus on the major differences (like 3 mode sds) and how much your getting for your money!
-
Phew!! You can have your man card back now!

M80, good catch on the xvj02! i have been wanting the barrel grip version of that to come to the states.. i wonder why it didnt come at the same time. hopefully they ill bring it.
-
Even the dude was nervous using it lol!
i know, looks that way doesnt it..
when he was ripping that 2x4 i was nervious for him!
looks like he has cut proof gloves of some sort on, id like to see how those survive against a table saw blade.. most likely they will just snag and pull his had harder into the blade. ouch
-
Welcome Matty,
That would be pretty slick... i doubt its in anyones cards in the near future but never say never... it would be cool to have a little 5.5" balde scms.. maybe dual 12v batteries? it would be perfect for quick little trim jobs, casings and base boards wouldnt require too much power and it would be so easy to move around and setup in small jobs. i would consider buying one for sure.
milwaukee is just releasing their fuel 12v circular saw which looks to be a big leap in the 12v circular saw world, so i would say its definitely doable
-
Wow thanks ner, good catch on that little piece of orange label. Yeah com b&d definitly not what it used to be.
Tool detective at your service! i like a little challenge like that.. that thing will most likely run forever!!
now, next order of business...... those pink socks and beaver pants !?!?!?!? hahahaha just busting on you man, its all good
-
Wow! thats quite the spread of tools!!! palm sanders to pipe threaders, geez you do a little of everything dont you!
what exactly is your line of work?
as im sure you noticed, all the pictures are flipped.. sometimes if your taking them straight from a mobile device they load weird.. maybe one of the moderators can flip them for you otherwise you can try loading them to your computer, clicking edit on your post, deleting the pictures and then reloading them from the computer.. wait and see if a moderator can help first though..
-
Nice setup you got there!! those demo hammers are nice!!! i have always wanted to get a big electric chipping hammer but can never pull the trigger.. i just dont do the work that would justify owning one.. very cool though

Welcome to TIA, glad to have you out from lurking in the shadows and posting! you will find that this is a great place with a lot of people willing to help each other out.
first off, for what you will be using these tools for, any single option you have above will provide you with PLENTY of runtime and power.. dont let the amount of batteries or brushless affect your decision.. brushless is the new "it" thing but in no way necessary. in some situations brushed motors can still be superior to brushless. also dont worry about tool life for brushelss vs brushed, im pretty confident that in your tool use life you will never have to change a set of brushes on any of these tools
I'll give you a disclaimer, i am partial to Makita cordless, i have owned their 18v live for about 6-7 years and have had excellent luck with them.. i use them professionally every day and still have all my original tools working just fine.
my honest opinion for you, all bias aside is to go with the Makita.. my runner up would be the milwaukee but i think you loose too much. i have never really considered bosch as a cordless brand i would invest in. not sure why.. the bosch option does seem to check off all your boxes though..
my reasoning for Makita; the xph07z is the baddest drill on the market at this point.. nothing comes close to this thing!! I really wouldnt worry about the difference between the xdt01 and xdt06 the 01 is lacking the "quick shift mode" which truly isnt necessary and you can achieve the same thing with knowing how to use your tools and trigger control, also the 01 has no battery gauge but it does have a low battery indicator. dont get too caught up on that either. it will start to warn you when the tool has 20% power remaining and if you want to check the batteries just click them into the drill.. it takes two seconds (thats what i do on occasion because many of my tools have no indicator) in a toolsofthetrade.net comparison they actually ranked the 01 higher than the 06, their test torque figures were higher for the 01 despite the manufacturers claims and in a 3.5" lag bolt speed test the 01 was only about 0.1 or 0.2 seconds slower than the 06 (i would call that identical for your or even anyone's needs)
the xrh05z will give you the power and runtime of a corded tool, definitely better than the Milwaukee 2612-21 it will not leave you wanting more.. i have the dual battery circular saw and it is seriously a corded tool replacement. in tests has shown faster cut times than the milwaukee fuel circular saws even though the makita is not brushless. the same may be true for the rotary hammers but im not positive
I think the makita x2 rotary tool in that kit comes with a tool bag. also i would use part of your remaining budget to jump on ebay and pick up another charger.. they can be had for like 30-40 bucks and then you can charge both batteries for the rotary hammer at the same time.. with this setup you will be able to drill holes non stop all day long!! you may be able to find the two extra 4.0 batteries on ebay for a little cheaper. seller "bishoptools" is a great reliable source on ebay who i have done a lot of makita business with, his prices are great.
good luck and let us know which way you go!

hand sanding?!?! Nothing sucks more than that..After today I'm going to bite the bullet. I'm going to start putting money aside for it. I'm doing a attic master suite. Bedroom, bath, office and my drywall guy called last night him and his son are sick and can not make today and the painter is coming Monday so, I was sanding all day. I don't care how well you seal things up that dust gets everywhere. Thanks for the info NER. also Festool will be putting out some info on this years Connect soon.
your gonna love the planex, it's one of those tools that it's hard not to get excited
Im already getting excited for connect/JLC me and my guy Ryan were just talking about it yesterday! Gonna be a good time, let's make sure we meet up.
The planex takes a little getting used to to dial it in nice.. start in an area that isn't so visible and with a grit much finer than you think you'll need. Youll need to mess with the tool speed, tool suction and vac suction and when you get it right things work amazingly.. check YouTube for setting recommendations and then fine tune from there to what works best for you.
I'd also recommend getting the soft interface pads for fine finish sanding

Google is so great!!;
1970's 1/2" drill Model No. 7250. 4.2 amps - 500 rpm - no load. They made a point of indicating it is "reversible" on the label. Made in Brockville,Ontario
---picture removed---The little scrap of orange label is what told me it was a black and decker... then it was just a matter of scrolling through google images..
Neat drill -
Lol!!! That shit's hilarious!!! Image if the chick ever stumbled across this post! Hahahaha

I know thats why I'm asking is it all that they say, and should I get the CT 36 AC? $1,800 is a big chunk of cash to drop on a sanding system.
I'm not sure if my humor came across but I wasnt questioning wether you wanted to know about it rather just jokingly warning you that as soon as I tell you how nice it is you are gonna be dropping some cash!!
I'll be honest, I dont do a ton of drywall work.. I had used a freinds porter cable on a few of my jobs and realized how useful it would be for me as a remodeler to own one... sand drywall seams or full skims, remove texture ceilings, prep painted walls, even light or small floor refinishing jobs..
I bought the Planex without the AC vac.. do you already have a CT vac? I have the ultimate dust deputy setup for my CT's which does a excellent job of separating the fine dust. If you arent going to use some sort of cyclone separator then I would say the AC is a must. Also if your gonna do a ton of drywall then you may want it anyway.. the drywall dust will eventually choke up the CT bags if used alone.
The planex is SICK compared to the porter cable.. the fact that it packs down into a maxi systainer, I love how it can be made shorter or longer, the ergonomics are amazing, the speed and suction adjustibility is great and the power is excelent.. I am no way an expert at using a drywall sander but my results with the planex were probably 3x nicer than with the porter cable.. the porter always left swirl marks and gouges etc., haven't experienced that yet with the festool.
If you dont need it right away check Craigslist and ebay.. it's one of those tools that not a ton of people buy so used tools sell for better prices. Plus if you find one that was only used for a few months then you can still rely on the remainder of the 3 year (excelent) warranty. I wouldn't worry about used, these things are built like a tank.
If your gonna go for one, let me know.. I'll let you know what I got for a sandpaper assortment (custom from Tom at tool home)
Bottom line, if you think you can use it even just a few times a year I think it's worth it just for the better quality your work will be, time savings and the convenience

Ok here we go. This house had knotty pine ceilings through the whole house but most of them had 50 layers of paint. The wife like that and thats why she had bought this house. So any time I do a reno I just replace it.
So the door field is just good old knotty pine from HD glued up. The rails and stiles are just common 1x pine with pocket screws and nailed to the knotty pine.
The pulleys are idler pulleys and have a center bearing so you can just bolt them on to the flat bar. For the door pull I just used a 2" forstner bit and took a 1/4" round over bit in the trim router. For the rail I just used 1/2 copper pipe for spacers and sleeves for to cover the mounting lags. I hope this helps
thanks for the info! again, great job...
:) 
not a tool but... umm... I'm not really sure what this is....

Do you tuck the frank in there too, or just the beans?
Anybody else thinking that this thing is gonna have negative long term effects... it's like having an elastic band around your nuts all day... that's gotta do something bad.
