NERemodeling

Regopit, I too would love to get my hands on that!! I have already emailed Milwaukee about brining it over. I suggest everyone who would like to see it doe the same!! I just sent it through their "contact" tab on their website, I think I selected "product inquiry" as question route. I'm all for festool and everything but I really cant wrap my head around being stuck with Centrotec bits.. and to be honest I don't think they have the nicest most innovative drills anyway.. but, the eccentric chuck is hands down sick!!

I think Festool is going to release the edgebander, some corded drills and the cordless track saw in the US. Possibly a table saw for the US market but that's a big maybe.. Sawstop will finally launch their portable job site table saw I'll guess that another company develops a similar skin sensing technology also (possibly festool) Makita will release a BL reciprocating saw in the US along with their BL jigsaw and 18v X2 string trimmer. All their current X2 tools will be slightly redesigned to do away with the need for an adapter. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 6ah won't be widespread.. we saw a big push to 5ah lately and I'm guessing manufacturers will ride that out for a while. Milwaukee will continue to fuelerize their line M12 and M18, I hope atleast for new M12 multitool and right angle drill/driver Maybe Milwaukee cordless nail guns? At least more manufacturers will introduce or expand their nail gun lines..

Whatever you do, dont let that one get away!!! she is a keeper!!

I would love to see a M12 Fuel OMT I have their current one already and it's great but a tad mode power, more run time, tool free blade change and possibly more aggressive blade strokee angle would be great!!

Haha, I can't help but perfectly relate to this!! Your need/want rings very true with me also, but you second comment is so 100% right on!! I don't know how many times I've told myself or my wife that if I just get this or that new tool I will be all set. Haha. That is NEVER the case Ahh... I love buying tools :)

Comp, I'm right there with you buddy! I assume many of us are!! I too have always loves tools and just making something with my hands. From being Lego obsessed as a young kid to now owning a remodeling company. When other kids on Christmas were getting new bikes or the latest game console, I was literally getting mechanic's tool chests, air compressors, angle grinders, and torque wrenches ( back in my high school days I was most into mechanics tools, welders, etc.now I'm much more construction/woodworking focused) There is something very satisfying about having not only the right tool for the job, or a tool for any job, but also the knowledge and ability to use them!!

That seriously made my day!! Hilarious!!!

Very nice!!

Chris, you really gotta do your best to get there this year. It's a great time! Both the festooned connect and the JLC show. Regopit, we gotta make sure we meet up this year! I hear connect is not gonna be in the same room anymore, maybe not even the same building! I think they over grew that room!!

Make sure you are getting your tax back. I'm pretty sure in CT, if you dont have a receipt or a way for them to find it like on a credit card, you do that get the tax back... you can probably give them the receipt and tell them you want store credit instead of money back to your credit card

Smart man!

No, but the green he saved sure is the best looking green!!

What Conductor said!! The XDT01Z is absolutely a better impact. Spend the few extra bucks, you'll be glad you did! Which way are you leaning for the free bare tool? Circular saw or rotary hammer?

I've only had one guy ask me, it was right in the checkout lane and he offered a similar situation to yours.. I don't think the discount was so good.. I declined just out of skepticism After, when I was checking out, the woman at the register told me that these guys steal stuff, return it for store credit and then sell the card for cash... I'm sure that is not always the case. that's a little sketchy in my book. I don't really want to endorse this guy's theft habits and or whatever other habits he needs the cash for!!

Jonesna8, I have owned makita lxt 18v tools for the last 7 or so years, I use them professionally every day and don't baby them yet all of my original tools are still working. The quality it top notch. over the years my collection has grown to over 20 tools and lights/radios and now 15 batteries. I have also never experienced any issues with the batteries (never lost one before many years of hard use which can be expected) Ironically, 6 months ago I may not have recommended Makita due only to the fact that they really weren't releasing new tools to update some of their aging models.. That has all changed now. Makita is back at it, completely revamping a solid chunk of their line and dominating!! If and when you pull the trigger on cordless tools, you won't be disappointed with Makita!!

Nice find!! I've been checking their new product page but never thought to look at the press releases looks like things are pushed about a month back from what I saw. The exciting news is the XDT09. I'm betting it's the DTD148!!!

Hey Chris, not trying get to talk you out of anything but this really is a sweet little multi tool.. I have 2 fein 250's and ever since I got this I use it 95% of the time.. it's nice not having to deal with a cord and usually multi tools are only for quick cuts... if your planning to remove all the grout from a bathroom then forget it, go corded.. also I'm not sure if you have other tools in the m12 line but it's a sweet line.. you might want to think twice before leaving it... Ps.. I don't think you included a price I your first post, not sure if that was intentional or not

That thing is nice, makes me wish I had more of a need!

Makita cordless is how I roll! got into Makita lxt about 7 years ago and stuck with them.

Lol. Who in the world put that video together!! Manufacturers should start including a copy of that with every table saw sold as a "proper use guide"

Once you get a taste you just want MORE MORE MORE!!!

Thank you! Without the bravery of the men and women serving today and generations before we would surely live in a different world. Your service is appreciated!!

Dwain and MIKE, you two are a couple of great guys for sure. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are very fortunate and glad to have you here contributing on TIA. Thanks guys, keep up the great reviews!!!

Sweet review! I'm really gonna have to grab a makita now!! I'm glad to see that it's favored by both of you. I loved the ending... Eric and ummmmmmm... hahahahaha! Nice one! it's cool that you were able to joke about that situation!!

Sweet deal! Now time for the unlucky part......... hanging, taping and sanding it!!!
