It's FESTOOL we're talking about, take a wild guess.  |

The bits seem to be high quality like any other festool bits. Plus they say festool on them so they must be good   |

Yeah, Swapped the Pozi bits for square drive bits. It would have been nice to see this set slightly tweaked for the N. American market since we essentially have no need for a Pozi #3 or #1. |

Do we really need a video to talk about a bit holder? These things are becoming nothing but free ads for Sean and his company.
What's next- a video about the Festool decal that comes with the new tools?

After my last decking project, I remember my despise for square heads.
Load those things up with Torx drivers.

Torx screws are great I wish I could find more of them. The only ones I know of are GRK screws.
Also there are alot more people out there beside us FOG members that never knew the twinbox existed or what was in there. The video is great for them. As for Sean and the toolnut they sent it to me so its only right that they get mentioned if you want to send me something I'll mention you in the video to its only fair. I enjoy doing these videos and hope that the people that watch them can see my view on the product and see closeup shots of them and determine if the tool is something they want or don't want. When I am looking to buy tools I go to forums, videos, pics and written reviews the more the better. Especially for high end tools. I feel that every one that does a review has a different approach look at Pauls, Kregs, Brice etc each one is different and unique in its own way and I love them all.

I do like mcfeelys. Grk are really nice but I have to convince my boss to let me buy them. I already sold him on the GRK trim screws they are the best especially the ones with the reverse threads, awesome.

Nice video, Dave (and nice name change on FOG  ) I'll be doing like the others and popping in some Robertson bits instead of Pozies. Looks handy. Ordered one from Sean a couple days ago; actually, before I saw your video so watching this was like a 'validation' run for me |

Got to say I agree. This is one review that I just do not find value in. No show of use of the belt clips or how they actually can add value when using the Festool Drill. That Festool is giving away product for this....Okay it was only $12... but they got ripped off! IMHO. Cheers, Steve |

Wasn't it? Regards, John |
