    im actually from yucca valley, so its a bit further then....but hey we live in the states....long distance driving is normal :D

    sometimes we combine the drive with a shopping tour to cabazon or ontorio mills

     

    no fee - no penalty, nothing...

    i was able to make some test cuts with the one they had on their saw at the show and i was amazed with how perpendicular the cut was.. not much deflection at all on straight cuts, definitely not as much as i expected...  i did get some deflection out of it while cutting a curve but i wasnt really taking my time either.

    yeah i can imagine that there is a deflection while doing a curve...but it also depends on what kinda saw you use.

    here is a picture of all my free goodies from the show (minus the prybar, that baby was already in my tool bag when i took this picture!!)

     

    the drill bits in the gray pack, to the left of the milwaukee stuff are a 4 pack of Bad dog multipurpose carbide bits.. im pretty excited to give these a try.. it was incredible what they put them through at the show and after talking with the guy long enough about them he threw me this pack to try out. https://www.baddogtools.com/tools/tools/multipurposedrillbits.html

     

    also if you can see to the right, on the festool shop apron, there is a super long jigsaw blade, its the 10" T1044DP  i never new they made a blade that long and one of the bosch guys was cool enough to toss me one of the blades they had for demo to try out  http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Accessories/Pages/BoschAccessoryDetail.aspx?pid=T1044DP#specs

     

    bunch of shirts, hats, a ton of loctite premium and powergrab and even vouchers to mail in for another free case of each of them!!  also a few of the lenox arc reciprocating saw blades..    overall i thought it was a pretty good haul :)

    im diggin it.. i have wanted a good stapler for a while now and when this one came out i knew i wanted it..   i have had a few of this style staplers in the past and they are still floating around somewhere but i never really liked them and one of them didnt take a standard t-50 staple that all my other hammer tackers and other staplers take which made it a pain to find staples for it..       I got to use this last wednesday installing a bunch of insulation for a customer and gotta say i was really digging it!    It worked very well

    is the trigger easy to use? my current one is so tough to use. does HD has this one in store?

    Nice score madman!  you will like the GRR-Ripper      did they happen to have a second one?  while not necessary, they work awesome in pairs.. this way you leap frog them along the cut and you never have to stop feeding the piece through the tool with helps eliminate blade marks.. 

    they had a 2nd one there
