  1. Couldn't pass up the Acme 20% off. A bit intimidating, having never gone the spray finish route before. But I figure it's not rocket surgery, hehe. It's tiny!
  2. All I did was swap the euro cord out for a 2-pronger. It's 110 volt so no worries there, and since it has a universal motor, as opposed to an induction motor, the frequency difference doesn't really matter. I would have been all over the Festool, but really have my eyes on a domino for my first big green purchase, and felt I got a pretty screaming deal on the Bosch. Toolstop UK.
  3. Ah, gotcha. For me, I saved over $300 compared to a similar Festool setup that would have given me about a foot less in rail length. Cheers!
  4. Another great review guys! That would be mine, but I'm waiting for the BL1 coming to the US next summer. 3 modes, and 1062 ft/lbs!
  5. That's likely going to be my Festool purchase, Chris. Or possibly the 700 version.
  6. Simply because I have used it so much lately, and it has performed flawlessly. The Makita LS1016.
  7. I am quite impressed with my Dewalt 18v lineup, especially the brushless models. However, having also entered the Bosch 12v world, I find myself reaching for these little fellas more than the big boys. If it was me today, I'd be taking a hard look at the Makita tiny 18v tools. They look to be top of the heap at the moment, imo.
  8. I still haven't seen the Makita 2.5 ah 12v in the wild...
  9. I like the male Hershey's bars quite a lot, but probably would vote for a Payday.
  10. Have you actually used one? The coolest feature they have in common, in my opinion, is the 1400w motor with same no-load speeds. If you watch video reviews of both, you will see many more similarities than differences. I don't care about slightly slower blade change, the Bosch is very simple. Also don't care about the micro depth adjust, or scoring feature. Certainly not enough to justify the price premium. As it sits, for $300 less than I would have paid for the Festool setup, including longer rails that I feel have a superior build and connection system, I'm VERY impressed, honestly.
  11. Damn, that's some funny shit right there!
  12. Bosch was about same price as Makita. What you lose is warranty, if you are in NA. What you gain is a sweet machine, made by Mafell, German manufacturer of the undisputed king of tracksaws.
  13. Hey Taylor, did you get the Fuji? Looking at that one myself.
  14. Nice! Do we have any real-world experience with how this compares with the FlexVolt? Since I'm no longer going with either the FlexVolt recip or angle grinder, and either would require a new battery platform, just wondering what the consensus is.
  15. I'm torn between these two diagonal cutters; https://www.kctoolco.com/knipex-73-72-180-7-twinforce-diagonal-super-cutter-comfort-grip/ https://www.kctoolco.com/knipex-73-06-160-6-3-x-cut-diagonal-cutter-insulated/ Any thoughts/opinions? Aside from "Both!" ; ) @KC_Tool?
  16. Happy Thanksgiving gang! Hope nobody's eating tofurkey!
  17. This thing screams quality. And the LiHD batteries are the best out there, no question.
