  1. Wonder why mafell wouldn’t want to expand to the USA......I know myself and all the companies I know, Love high end tools....they’d sell out....it’s never about price for me or most guys I know, only quality...durability....tools that last and get the job done professionally........it’s all about reputation for most guys , quality counts and gets you the next job...
  2. Bosch probably would be number one of all high end tools ..if...they had a full line of 18v and 12v at HD or Lowe’s on the the shelf , the newest versions.......I believe they’d clean up....but it’s just not available here....great tools and durability
  3. After seeing several videos on the Mafell.......WOW .....very impressive jigsaw and company..........is there any company superior to mafell? Always love to learn on here....
  4. Not sure why guys are buying the 887 ? For what purpose are you trying to use it for ? I have many 887 and it’s the best impact IMO on the market. Ive used the surge , don’t like it,,have not used the hitachi triple hammer,I hear it’s great ....i screw off thousands of decks with it..and drive zillions of timberlock,trusslok, ledgerlok with it....wouldn’t a small 12v be better for cabinet knobs and hinges ? Curious... Or the Milwaukee gen 2 with 4 settings.....just wondering
  5. Can’t go wrong with the 791; I have a few and love them. I personally think it’s the best drill out there. Got the 996 for big stuff...I’ll never use the hammer function again once I learned about sds drills...the Dewalt sds plus is a beast and the m12 fuel sds does the small stuff.......i was insane using a hammer drill for drilling concrete, no comparison........I have a large m12 collection now but the 791 is my favorite
  6. Yup yup Dewalt is slacking right now, so I’ve been on a Festool road
  7. I don’t think so...it’s massive..I suppose it could but not that I’m aware of ,,,it sits on the floor
  8. @ChrisK....have you considered the Bosch GST160 ? I see it’s very comparable to the mafell....now there’s no swag with the Bosch verse mafell......but all the literature and vids I see point to the king ...Mafell Never heard of that company, always nice to learn about tools on TIA forum...thanks Chris

    New Sander

    @BK13....sanding decks ? You must invest in new decking, AZEK...any color , no screw holes, composite material, 40yrs....
  10. Festool garbage? @glass..cmon...they make great shop tools , some of the best. No one makes a better system of storage and tools... Dewalt, that’s why I’m all in @ChrisK....great customer service, great framing tools, heavy duty , reliable........I’ve never had a problem so far ,except Dewalt boots, love em but the toe wore out in 3 months....they sent me a new pair, no problem...
  11. I read the domino is the best....... No dust extraction on mafell jig ? It has more power ,but unless your cutting thick ass wood why would you need that ? They are mostly a timber frame tool company.... @ChrisK ...you want more POWA?.? Hey now that’s my gig....lol....your a finesse guy... Some interesting features, no roller for the blade, quick change, sliding base..and lots more POWA.......better colors that’s for sure....interesting the storage boxes work on Festool sustainers...something is up with that... I’ll stick with the carvex hybrid jiggy....gotta be cordless!!!!! Although the mafell would be great for cutting the hundreds of radius curves we do in 2x12 pt stock...
  12. Way above my pay grade to do that swap.....nice job
  13. I couldn’t do that....I’m no choir boy either though...I regularly pay for one Dewalt saw horse and say it’s priced for a pair.....shame on me......but for the Flexvolt mitre ,ahhhh no...I want brand new tools when they’re high end
  14. Thanks @Jronman....ya just got the midi Festool vacuum and a sustainer 2 ???? Needed more room for vacuum accessories. Next is a sander ,hybrid I think..and a jiggy...love to be all cordless,except the vac.... I recently bought a Wen 12” variable speed drill press, a Wen oscillator sander and spindle sander combo, and a Wen scroll saw......just getting my feet wet with mid level shop tools....see what I my needs are for POWA and upgrade if I need in a while.......I do love the Festool vac so far. ...also got a Sjoberg work bench...beautiful
  15. Thanks @ChrisK....you are the Festool expert. I ordered the midi 574787 ct hepa...I’ve seen dust deputy on them but they say it can fry the circuit board ? Or is that just Festool bs....? Also I really liked the jigsaw carvex ps 561593 and accessorie kit 201186,,,looks unbelievable? Do you have the cordless jigsaw ? Or should I just stay corded ? I thought I’d go high end on the vac and jig if they are truly superior...the vac seems to be the best around with the Fein second best.... could you recommend a sander ???? ....thank you Chris
  16. Any good ? Perfect? Need the larger size ? Or just right for a small shop ?
  17. That’s all I want ,,Dewalt 20v sanders, routers, ....can’t get into another line...so I’ll wait and use my Ridgid cordless ones....previously Ryobi which are still great.....thanks for the photos
  18. Thanks for the video @D W.....awesome
  19. Wow sorry to hear that, we have two flex table saws at work,we use them everyday all day no problems yet , since it came out....
  20. Thanks guys, I always heard of Delta ( I think “Norm” used delta floor models) back in the day and porta Cable was a beast long ago.....I try some pawn shops first ,never went to a pawn shop...
  21. I’m getting into shop tools, bench top combo disc/ belt sander , drill press...anyone have a good model ? Do you buy ...wen...or upgrade to say ...jet...for occasional use ? Any help would be appreciated 😊
  22. Gotta say those look sweet in black and red..saw that today on toolguyd also...
  23. Nice find @The.Handyman....thanks for the pics. I’ll definitely hold off on getting more seats till those come out...it matches my decor so well....love the industrial look , so different from everyone else...
  24. Love mine , just awesome,especially with the higher lumens like the rocket.....hate that they copied it...but still glad to it...
