I started my business with Ryobi. First set was a DIY NiCad 4-5 piece set in the BIG gray case. Drill, recip, vac, light, circ saw, charger and two batteries. I ran that thing til every tool had no life left.
Don't you have the DeWalt track saw as well? I've been temped to pick up some Festool, but it's just too darn rich for my blood. I'm really liking the Domino though for mortise and tenons.
It's just different. Takes some getting used to. Honestly, when I first joined, I logged in and went to "Power Tools by Manufacturer" and didn't see DeWalt and thought "WHAT THE HELL?!" Then I realized DeWalt had its own section on the main forum page. It made me think it was somehow sponsored by DeWalt. Figured out things as I read later on.
Wow. Pretty neat. I'm not sure I'm sold 100% for stain grade projects, but it's a great idea in theory. Not sure how it would work with harder woods like oak or maple. He was using yellow pine which is soft and easier to manipulate. I may have to toy with a few scraps. Could be used to play some tricks on someone. Lol.
I know. I think he figured it out. He ordered some new bits. I think he was using high speed steel and MDF tears up steel bits. All the glue and binders is very tough material.
Seems like it. I always find it interesting that when I go to HD and see a Milwaukee truck in the parking lot, I've seen the rep in a Milwaukee shirt, resetting Ryobi or Ridged Displays. I know it's all TTi, but the DeWalt reps aren't messing with Stanley displays. Just seems off.
