wow NER. I think that's 56 systainers
-
I have to agree.
I have a dewalt 18v drill , impact, jig saw, sds, vac , angle grinder, 1st fix nail gun.
I will buy the dewalt multi tool , dry wall cut out tool, 2nd fix nail gun,
I am also going to buy the Makita. 36v circ saw, 36v sds, 18v planer, sander, 90 degree drill/impact,
probably a few more if I went looking at the catalogues
my aim is to be as close to cordless as possible .
the only tools I don't see my self buying are a chop saw, table saw, jackhammers etc.
although I think a good chop saw and table saw are possible, using 3 18v batteries to create 54v . I would like a table saw just for small cuts. make it the size of a dealt tough box
-
brilliant. cant wait . I like that you can take the collating attachment off and use it like a normal dry wall screw gun
-
what was the height chris

hi there
we have seen the rapid increase in AH ratings of batteries lately. 3 and 4 AH came fast but now 5AH is getting there. now there are talks of 6ah coming soon.
where will it end
obviously the higher the AH rating the better but do you think there will be a tipping point where its not worth having more AH s
my guess is around 6ah for normal use and 8 -10 or lawnmowers etc. that you don't have to carry the weight
where do you think that point it
-
that's pretty cool.
I wish other tool box manufacturers would incorporate things like this into their line up.
I would like to see festool, dewalt etc. put a chargers , radio, lights into their boxes
-
I have a Fein multi master . its great but a bit slow on drywall. and the blades are expensive (although I use older ones for drywall)
I use my dremel for taking a small bit off things here and there. often in metal.
I use my dremel for things my multimaster cant do
I would buy the rotozip but I would like a cordless version and to stay in the dewalt line or the Makita when I buy into it
-
hi there.
I am thinking about getting one of those dry wall cut out tools. like a rotozip . probable the dewalt or Makita cordless .
first of all are they worth it.
second can they be used with other cutters like the dremel.
occasionally I fix drywall damage. if it small I use a hole saw but if its bigger I have to cut it out with a jab saw etc.
some times I work for an electrician helping him 1st fix . I have to cut strips out of the drywall to drop wires down
some times I use my dremel (corded) to adjust door lock parts that are catching or tile that is overhanging the screw holes etc
would one of those dry wall tools work for jobs like this
thanks Alan

wow 6 ah
a blower is a great tool to have for clean up
-
I am assuming that is a collated drywall screw gun.
what is the second handle in front for
-
wait till all the festool guys show off theirs
-
first I heard of it too. I must try it
-
I think this tool is a bit like a multimaster.
you only really need it when you don't have it.
-
where are your 2 drawer boxes. im sure you could do with a few
nice colection
-
thank you very much .
very much appreciated.
video is a nice touch.
your video shows it one handed and it is able to drive a decent length screw
-
dam you. now I know I need one
99% of all my impact driving is 5 x 100mm screws or less .rarely some 150mm screws .
I would appreciate the time taken to measure.
have you sold any and received any feed back on it
-
how do you find it. is it too big for really small spaces. just guessing it looks around 80mm , the 90 degree impact looks more like 35mm
-
I have a trend snappy version of the 90 adapter/
its a great accessory to have but I find that its hard to keep on the screw correctly.. it wants to rotate too much. you also need three hands at times too. one for the drill , one for the adapter and one on the piece being screwed . an all in one drill would make that so much easier.
the problem I have is that the 90 degree drill is a lot bigger than the 90 degree impact. but you cant use normal drill bits in the impact.
does any one know of a review of the 90 degree impact
-
hi there
I am looking at getting the angled impact driver.
does anyone have one. what's it like
im not sure if I should get this or the normal angled drill.
I don't need to drive screws in tight spots all that often but when I do I really need to.
thanks alan
-
I have that saw.
its great.
I think you have a dude.
have you the blown on. that will help keep the dust away (from the blade anyway)
jig saws don't like straight edges . if you are cutting a straight line you will have to have the base at a slight angle left or right. just like a band saw.
try it free hand
what are you cutting
-
what kind of tools are you using.
you might get away with a small dc if you can use it beside the machine.
im a big fan of shop vacs. 90 % of my dc is through my festool ct22 on smaller tools.
only the planer and band saw get the larger dc
-
I would put it in a sealed room in the basement or else build a small house outside your home. then pipe in the dc from there
-
I get what your saying.
if you strip out all the electrical and plumbing and specialist tools from Milwaukee you are left with the same line up as dewalt and bosch etc. even bosh and dewalt have nail guns. although most of Milwaukee's are brushless/
as a carpenter I don't see any reason to change over to Milwaukee. but I see a need to buy into Makita because of the extra tools they offer
-
I think this is Milwaukee's down fall. they do great tools and all kinds of tools for the plumbers and sparkies. they have very little for the carpenter. they have the basic set up but all of that is covered by other manufacturers .
I have the dewalt line up and am going to buy into the Makita line up for their more unique tools.
I really like Milwaukee . their tools are great but the choice of tools ruled them out
