Poisonfangs85 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Put in a therapy order myself on Amazon. A few locking c-clamps, drywall rasp, driver bits, automatic center punch, socket adaper set. Oh and a side order of buyers remorse. No matter how much I need a tool I always hate parting with the greenbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HahaI had already bought the dowels and scraper and was in the parking lot in my truck when I said "What am I crazy passing on this for $150 this is on my list.". I got out and went back in and bought it and the Milwaukee tape measures, they were just sitting there by themselves looking lonely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERemodeling Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Nice score madman! you will like the GRR-Ripper did they happen to have a second one? while not necessary, they work awesome in pairs.. this way you leap frog them along the cut and you never have to stop feeding the piece through the tool with helps eliminate blade marks..

NERemodeling Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 great stuff, the milwaukee stapler is pretty cool...im going get one tooim diggin it.. i have wanted a good stapler for a while now and when this one came out i knew i wanted it.. i have had a few of this style staplers in the past and they are still floating around somewhere but i never really liked them and one of them didnt take a standard t-50 staple that all my other hammer tackers and other staplers take which made it a pain to find staples for it.. I got to use this last wednesday installing a bunch of insulation for a customer and gotta say i was really digging it!

NERemodeling Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 That pry bar looks tough NER and U can't beat getting some free tools bro!no you cant!! free tools are great the prybar is pretty damn sexy i must admit! its a little bit of a splurge but it is super light so i dont mind carrying it around in my every day tool bag (i didnt used to keep my big steel on in there in an effort to keep the weight down) its got a few nice features, has a great feel in the hand and it really rounds off my stiletto set nicely..

NERemodeling Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 here is a picture of all my free goodies from the show (minus the prybar, that baby was already in my tool bag when i took this picture!!) the drill bits in the gray pack, to the left of the milwaukee stuff are a 4 pack of Bad dog multipurpose carbide bits.. im pretty excited to give these a try.. it was incredible what they put them through at the show and after talking with the guy long enough about them he threw me this pack to try out. https://www.baddogtools.com/tools/tools/multipurposedrillbits.html also if you can see to the right, on the festool shop apron, there is a super long jigsaw blade, its the 10" T1044DP i never new they made a blade that long and one of the bosch guys was cool enough to toss me one of the blades they had for demo to try out http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Accessories/Pages/BoschAccessoryDetail.aspx?pid=T1044DP#specs bunch of shirts, hats, a ton of loctite premium and powergrab and even vouchers to mail in for another free case of each of them!! also a few of the lenox arc reciprocating saw blades.. overall i thought it was a pretty good haul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERemodeling Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 wow thats a bunch of stuff John - you definitely scored at the exhibition i wanna know if the 10" blade has any deflection because its soo longi was able to make some test cuts with the one they had on their saw at the show and i was amazed with how perpendicular the cut was.. not much deflection at all on straight cuts, definitely not as much as i expected... i did get some deflection out of it while cutting a curve but i wasnt really taking my time either.
