Ok here's one: What type of sensor does Metabo put in their dust extractor hose end that when connected to any brand cordless tool, will automatically turn on the extractor? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

This man, someone knows too much...... Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Of course I'm correct lol. It's a specialty tool but I've used it so I should know haha.. also the Zoomlock tool is made by Klauke in Germany, which is owned by Greenlee! .. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Oh and KNIPEX use M12 batteries lol Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Graco uses DeWalt Southwire uses Milwaukee Zoomlock by Parker uses Makita. It's a press tool for our refrigerant fittings. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

LOL from your 5X kit right?

@Conductor562 That is a very nice saw, my father in law has that and I've only used it once in awhile and cleaned up the cast top after it had accumulated some rust, but I find no real flaw in that saw

Seen those last weekend i was there, got me thinking... But i'll wait til maybe see how well received they are

Sedge is my favorite lol TOO BAD THEY COULDN'T MAKE THAT LIGHT CORDLESS EH?? I think they really could have had something there... But maybe I'm just caught up in the cordless mindset and people might LIKE it with a cord!! Also, i'm kicking myself for not going because it's literally 2.5 hours away from me!!! UGHH I should have paid more attention to these things... They have their dust collection on their cordless sanders on lockDOWN!!! ..

I like different! But speaking of Milwaukee tools, my hole hawg is acting up..... Uh oh.... Trigger has a dead spot.... But it's a painless warranty process like I've said before

Good info to know!!! On what impact are you experiencing this? Any other double ended bits you prefer?

A controlled environment is the worst at giving me a real world test and feel. That's what the tool is made for after all, real world use!! Like with Rob and the crew, give me input from their actual use on a job site as they were designed and forego the mock trials. I still think it's entertaining but it never convinces me one way or another which tool to purchase if I were in the market. That was a great way to put it Dwain, I do love hearing comparisons and features and the latest and greatest. I know you guys like your run time tests (or maybe not!!!) and maybe others do too. The thing I observed was a concentration into using the tool to drill, cut, grind, etc.... Whereas real world use doesn't give you 100% concentration on that tool, leading to different experiences with whoever is using it. And I love getting that input. Candid, spontaneous, solid info I don't know what Joe observed between the DeWalt and the Makita saws, nor do we know the exact circumstances of the two on Facebook. And yes, their views are just that based on their uses. Maybe we could get a better picture if we knew lumber type, moisture content, how many cuts were beveled, etc etc we could go on all day. I like the input of The end users of these items and make my decision based on that sometimes, but we don't regularly have input from these heavy users. Honestly I would love to see Dan and Eric ramp up their involvement into the fields that these tools are made for and get true unbiased input from them. It's cool they bring us the info, but I think they could do something unique by getting out there and allowing the pros to use them more. Like they do with Pat at the body shop etc... (Dwain and Mike, can you do a Oz version perhaps!!???) Although it's just the tool nuts that care as much as we do anyways lol... Although, I do have it easy when it comes to cordless tools. Who makes a cordless PVC shears and a PEX expander tool and a copper tubing cutter and a palm nailer and a lot of the tools for my trade? Easy decision there.....
