Anyone seen this before? https://www.festoolproducts.com/accessories/aftermarket-accessories/vecturo-aftermarket-accessories/fein-35222952050-starlock-adapter-for-supercut-vecturo.html Looks handy I guess.

The DeWALT omt has rubber in the battery housing that helps.

New Festool stuff is coming in April. All ct vacs will be updated and support bluetooth and a new bluetooth remote start accessory. I wish the mixer was cordless haha.

Sometimes it does rule supreme but not all the big contenders were there like the normal Milwaukee impact or the TD171. Milwaukee is faster than DeWALT in lags but DeWALT is faster with smaller fasteners.

I would be very disappointed if I didn't get a systainer with my Festool tools. Do I wish they were tougher, sure but it is hard to complain when many other brand come with bags or blow mold cases.

I try to avoid corded but sometimes it is just not possible at the moment. 1/2 in collet router and 6 in Rotex style sander to name a few.

Well this escalated quickly at the start. Just gotta do an impact driver test when Makita comes out with a new model. which would probably be once every year or so haha.

@Eric - TIA I haven't used them but I'd like to try Bessey. The new ones seem like a nice upgrade. That wide jaw attachment is something I haven't seen before.

could do a "stuff we keep" thread for my work. It is quite an accomplishment for my boss to throw something away.

I'm gonna try and snag some Festool before March. New sander and new vac.

the radio

so assist mode and tek mode are gone?

may I ask what a BFH is?

I happened to find a retail site saying March 12 for the new 3 drawer tough system box. No date on the 2 drawer but I can hope it has the same or earlier date. It appeared to be a UK site so the release date may be different for North America. If it is even coming to North America. I haven't even seen any listings for them on the US sites.

Got some new info on this. Comes out in April and will retail for $199. Also has some kind of feature for heavier batteries when they are attached and you are carrying the charger like a "briefcase"

There is another one I seen that goes on a drill I believe. I don't see anything wrong with outlet cutters. If it makes an electricians job more efficient then why not right?

He mentions that he may look into selling the legs then you could build whatever top you want to fit to the legs.

Speed 1 is not for everyone. It has its place but could probably be improved. The delay has its place especially for delicate cabinet screws. A shorter delay would be alright. I feel like there could be more power to the motor before the impact mechanism activates. I'd like to see more specialty modes. A sheet metal mode is an obvious one but maybe it could be smart enough to turn off the motor when the screw is fully fastened. I'd like to see a quiet mode or maybe a screw driver mode that is max power no impacts.

I don't know what you are cutting but sounds like a job for a bandsaw?

40v mower, 17 in 40v trimmer, and 2x20v mower @Hugh Jass the van rack is in stock at CPO if you want it. Both the tall and short versions. Around $189.99 for the short rack and $249.99 for the tall rack.Says it ships monday

Andrew Klein designed a new workbench here it is.

a couple concrete tools, some ope, some Tough System/tstak stuff, and those shop benches are what I can think of.

@midogrumpy there has been rumors this won't come to North America. Got any insider info saying otherwise?
