rule #1 of woodworking: One can never have too many clamps.

Should they go bluetooth route like Makita or go vibration route like Metabo?

I hear Felder is nice.

my 102 in rail and tough system wall rack kit came today. The tough system organizer is already filling up and I've only had it a few hours haha

I have no idea but you may want to ask @CATERPILLAR

oh ok I undertand now. I checked their website and there is in fact a 5 in that does not have variable speed but the rest have some form of variable speed. I've used an older DeWALT orbital sander from around 2012 and was a good unit. I'm sure you will like yours.

I like this feature too. Would be nice to have some updates to bring the system up to par with Packout though. Stronger build and ability for half size would be quite handy for Tough System.

nice find great price. These 3500 kelvin? You could get 900+ bulbs for the same price I paid for my 2 Lifx Bulbs haha.

my cousin lives in Indiana. I wonder if he went last year. Is this kinda like what nps is to Milwaukee? Where new products get revealed/shown off?

@Jscott nice buy. I thought Makita had a variable speed sander?

flexvolt table saw kit and kreg pocket hole jig came today. So far they seem nice.

ordered a 102 in track saw rail and a tough system dwst08270 wall rack with organizer kit.

I'm kinda impressed my work has something as new as a DW718 and a newer DeWALT table saw. I can wish the guys care more about tools but golf, hunting, and drinking are a thing.

A compact rail design like Bosch, Festool, Hitachi, and Makita have added in their sliders would be a welcome addition. Improved dust collection like the Festool and. Makita would be nice as well.

DeWALT makes great miter saws but is slowly falling behind the competition. I could see a large redesign in the next gen sliding miter from DeWALT. I won't hold my breath it will probably be awhile haha.

I still buy it but so far my stuff is the only stuff I've seen in person outside a store or online. No one in my crew will buy Flexvolt. Maybe they will once the boss retires and they take over. I cant even sell brand new flexvolt stuff for cheap to them.

@JakeDewalt I agree. Some DeWALT tools may be long in the tooth or be lacking in convenience features, but they are able to complete the job and at the end of the day if it completes the job, thats all that matters.

CPO was missing out on all the permathread action so heres one for CPO. CPO is having a $99 sale on over 600 items. might be worth a look. 2 days only.

acme has some decent deals today including 2.0 dewalt batteries for 67% off, I would check times on deals many of them are timed deals. Kinda like a tool version of prime day.

if our crew ever were to get a job at a hospital I doubt they would be capable of keeping it clean.

Having both a bit and a socket on the chuck probably wouldn't make sense for applications that need a deep socket but for shallow nuts and bolts it might be okay.

If you had a 20v stapler or a hand stapler which would you use? Atleast for me I have found air staplers easier and better to use. I would guess someone who is really good at a swing hand stapler would be as fast as some one with an air stapler but for a rookie like me I'm faster using air stapler.

cool thing is you can leave the t25 bit on the impact while you use a socket.

A guy at work has a sink in his shop but it is kinda a cool. He set it up in in such a way where his work bench covered the sink but where the sink was he had a pair of hinged doors that would open up to allow access to the sink but would close over the sink for increased work area. Would allow for a sink and yet not take up valuable work space.

no thanks. I prefer air staplers. much faster in my opinion and doesn't require swinging but if the air hose was replaced with a battery it would be even better.
