Trident167

I'm looking at possibly picking up a CT26 Dust extractor unit. Has anyone used one or any of the other models? Is it money well spent compared to the less costly shop vacuums around? Wanted to get actual user inputs before parting with all that money. Thanks.

Used them Last winter in very cold temps. They work, just charging them takes sooo long.

I seem to only like the higher speed setting. Speed two is easier on the screw but is so slow it drives me crazy. I think you're tight in terms of speed. It causes the bit to jump a lot more. The Makita is a bit more gentle though and feels more refined. I just picked up the same td148 "Black Ninja" from Japan. It's a really nice toy. http://instagify.com/media/1113353604240421486_1203397475 In this video you can see td148 in action next to the Milwaukee. Are you referring to the Shockwave bits? The screws are a lot inferior nowadays and that's a fact. I have noticed a huge difference over the last few years but that's for another thread. You will like it for sure. It's still a very strong impact driver and a workhorse at that.

I have owned this driver for over one year and love it. I think it's quite powerfull and fast. There aren't too many others that can compete in terms of speed and power. This brings me to my issue with this impact driver. The Milwaukkee seems to have a very hard impact system. Compared to the newer Makitas, it's very agressive on the screws. The Makita on the other hand is a lot more gentle on the impact. The Milwaukee requires a bit more force to keep the bits in the screw heads because it wants to bounce off. Anyone notice this compared to Makita or perhaps other impacts?
