No matter the color, we just need to feed the addiction. I'm pretty much a yellow fan but every so often I feel the need to cross over.
Yup I hear you man. I think we all got the case of "GAS" or "Gear Acquisition Syndrome"

I can't wait to get home and watch these vid's. I'll drop in again later. Peace out!

Me and Chris K converted Bigmikez over to the dark side Well I have went through 4 different power tool brands. First it was Ryobi as it was what I could afford but ran into limitations later on. Ryobi is changing that though with some crazy tools now though like cordless nailers and SDS drills. The big thing for me was the cordless circular saw was the worst thing ever. At least in my opinion. Then i went Ridgid found out they didn't have any tools really at that time to expand to at the time. Then it was Dewalt with the 20v right as the launched it and ran into the same problem lack of additional tools at the time. So after I saw Milwaukee introducing brushless tools I jumped over to big Red
Haha, That's pretty awesome that you guy's hooked up BigMikeZ with a battery and charger. Just goes to show how awesome the community is here. Like a lot of people, I got hooked into the DeWalt 20V Brushless line a long time ago. I love DeWalt, the tools have never failed me, but there hasn't been much innovation for a while. I started looking into purchasing some hand tools, and noticed that Milwaukee has got some great stuff. Then I looked into their power tools and the 7-1/2" cordless circular saw blew me away. The Milwaukee Fuel line of tools will allow people to "cut the cord" without sacrificing power. Pretty awesome stuff. I'm still a heavy corded power tool user though, the cord doesn't bother me too much. But as far as cordless tools and hand tools go, I think I'm gonna go to the darkside and join Big Red. For corded jobsite tools, I still love DeWalt. And for all the other stuff, I'll stay with Bosch until I can afford Festool, lol.

I currently do not own any Milwaukee tools but after doing a ton of research, I think it's time for me to hop on board. I think the FUEL line of tools have really grabbed at me. The amount of innovation they put into all of their tools are outstanding, constantly pushing the envelope. As I buy more and more Milwaukee tools, I'll post them here and give some thoughts.
I'm interested to hear what you all think of Milwaukee Tools. Have any of you made the shift or simply added these to your arsenal?

Nice setup Nalu and on top of that you are living and working in paradise. What island are you on.
Hey Regopit! I'm on Oahu. And by the way, Congrats on winning the Ultimate Tool Bag a while ago. I apologize if that was not you

Here's a link to a YouTube Video of the competition. Maybe I'll practice some and enter next year wearing a TIA shirt or hat, lol.

What u planing on getting Nalurash?
I don't think I'm gonna go this year. Hard to justify all my tool purchases with the wife, lol. To her it's just more of the same crap. Thing is, I never give her shit about all the shoes she has haha. But nothing is standing out to me in the ad this year anyway. I bought my Bosch 4100 Table Saw about 5 years back for $350 with the gravity rise stand. I think that was a steal.

Thanks guys and thanks for sharing the labels, Nalu.
Moze I watched a couple of your YouTube videos. I instantly took notice of the squeegee's you had in your ToughBox video. I gather that you work for a sign company?. I've been working for a sign company as well for the past 16 years. Cool seeing another sign guy. Take Care

Great line up Nalu.
Thank you MikeyB!

Every year Slim's Power Tools ( a local tool shop here in Hawaii ) put's on a competition. The winner gets a $2000 shopping spree. They also have some decent deals. If your in Hawaii and plan on going, I suggest getting there at 5 a.m. to get the door buster deals.
I attached a PDF for more info

Wow, that's an awesome attachment @NaluRash thanks for sharing it here!
Thank you ChrisK1970!

Haha Nordraw....That's true. Tool's are so expensive here, luckily Amazon still ships free. I've also had some luck with price matching Amazon prices with my local Home Depot to get better deals.

Welcome Ozintex!

Sweet! My two entries are in. Good luck to everyone! Hope someone from the TIA crew wins

Great stuff Moze. I actually happened upon your DeWalt TStak video after doing some research for myself. I really the setup you got there.
I just purchased a bunch of TStaks and made up some labels for them. I'll see if I can attach a PDF so you can print out the labels if you want.

Wow! Thank you all for the warm welcome and sage advice about guarding my wallet lol. Here's a tip I got from the guy's over at the FineWoodWorking Podcast "Send your tools to your workplace, your wife never needs to know" Haha. Again, thank you all. Take Care
-
Hope everyone is having a great day.
I love tools, can't afford them all though lol. Hopefully I'll get some good insight from you all and maybe even contribute some.
Thank you in advance for all the advice that I'm sure to get.
Aloha!

Regopit, it was great seeing you on YouTube. I was cracking up when they were talking about how young you are, haha. Working for a Gas Company in Hawaii is a pretty good deal. The large industrial companies are located on a part of Oahu that is isolated from the masses. That mean's no traffic going to or coming from work. It's not well known, but Oahu has the 1st or 2nd worst traffic in the nation. A few weeks ago, a machine broke down on the freeway, causing a huge traffic jam. It took me 5 hours to drive 23 miles.
