Punda1991 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Very very nice pennywise! All quality brands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 You know Pennywise, thanks for starting this topic. Really...REALLY important for you guys to do this. Insurance companies love to stick it to their members when it comes to claims. Photographic evidence is essential in your investment. I'm new with Festool and already over 3k in that investment. Not to mention my other tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Also two more things Pennywise, how do you like your Panny saw and is that a Festool Quadrive in Black and orange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennywise Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Also two more things Pennywise, how do you like your Panny saw and is that a Festool Quadrive in Black and orange?To be honest the panasonic metal saw doesn't get used that much as we have the Hilti 22v metal saw at work and for any proper wood cutting I use the festool. Yes it's a festool quadrive but the original, made by festool under the protool brand, I've had it about 4/5yrs now and it's still going strong, also it's only a 12v version or 10.8v to be precise, very very light but can drive some massive screws they've taken the 12v out of the new festool rebranded range which is slightly annoying.

ChrisK Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I was curious about Panasonic, I've read mixed reviews. That's really cool that Protools made that drill so long ago. Do they do that before fielding their own brand? Can't wait to see those come over this side of the pond! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see those come over this side of the pond!It's one of the original saws with ni mh batteries, it was good at the time, really it's just a backup . They don't normally try stuff out with protool it's just they had a separate brand that was only available in certain countries, it's now been totally got rid of and has just been rebranded as festool as it has better worldwide brand recognition. Can't praise the protool enough, that 14.4v Hilti in the background was around 6months old when I got the protool, it hasn't seen the light of day for yrs again it's just a backup lol. You guys do get the rough end of the stick when it comes to new tool realises, probably why I could never live state side lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 This is a great idea for anybody that has a large amount of tools. I had my work trailer broken it to a few years ago and lucky for me the wife had video everything in side it made it some what easier to deal with the insurance company.

Conductor562 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I went through and inventoried every tool I owned a couple years back. When I told my insurance agent the approximate replacement cost of my tools he about had a stroke. I took pictures just in case. The inventory fell by the wayside though. It was like a full time job keeping up with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Like I said somewhat easier. When I gave my agent a price list he stated to tell me I over paid for my tools. I told him that's how I make my living I looked out the window and asked him if that was his BMW. He said yes it was he did a lot of driving to meet clients. So I told him you can do that on a moped but you choice not to just like my tools I can buy crap but I choose not to. They replaced them but it took some work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Nice variety of tools. I have a "Home Inventory" piece of software on my Mac. Took a bit of time to enter everything into the database, but it has all the information, like S/N, a copy of the receipt, and a picture of each item.

Nordraw Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Most homeowners policies will cover anything that you lose in a fire of robbery as far as I know. Nice to have a photo inventory to back you up that is for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
