Ok, so I posted this under the reviews section. Granted, I'm a 'little' biased. My youngest son's dress ER  has wooden drawer slides (yes, I it's poop) and one of them cracked allowing the drawer to sag when it was fully extended. So, I set about fixing it today and the first order of business was to remove the old slide. Since the drawer is only about 7-8" tall, it was a tight space and the right angle chuck came to the rescue. Popped it on and out came the old broken slide in seconds. After some measurements, I grabbed some lumber and crafted a new slide. Only took 15 minutes. Screwed it back in place and it's just like new (until he breaks it again). While I was at it, I went ahead and made enough stock to replace three more if it's ever needed 'cause kids break things.  A little dab o' touch up stain on the dresser face where it got scratched from the sagging drawer and it's good to go. Anyway, this is one of those things that when you need one, you really need one. Luckily, I had one and it made the job a breeze. I'm so pampered by fine tools.  Shane   |

Shane, if that drawer were any narrower you may have had to resort to this:  Andrew shows off CXS right angle + hand driver Chip |

I thought that Shane only TALKED about Festools... Aw man, that one hurt.  They trust me with the drill, MFT and SysLite. But no drill bits, just driver bits.  I'm no master craftsman, but I can and do use the tools. My CMS made routing those profiles for the slide real easy. that was after I ripped the stock on my CS 70. Thankfully my Vac Sys made breaking the corners easy with the sander rather than trying to hold that thin material. |

Hey, Chip, we really need to send you out to Vegas where you can get a proper training. That stuff Sedge is teaching you...  And, in just messing around. I don't have all those goodies. I'm still waiting for them like you guys are. |

I have a dedicated 90 drill for running wire and pipe when the studs show... and for just brute holes fine.
The Festool drill has the 90 on it 80 percent of the time. OH....so nice for get screws in to electrical boxes and tight spots.. etc...
That is the CXS right Shane?
Cheers,
Steve

Shane, The right angle head has bailed me out a few times -- I don't need it often but when I do I REALLY do.

That right angle chuck has saves my wrists more times than not, especially when installing/replacing drawer glides and adjusting drawer fronts, both on my older C12 as well as my CXS.  |

RE: the Milwaukee attachment; some people complain about: - The bits falling out due to lack of magnetism? - The rigidity isn't good. I.e. high torque stripping out the internals of the tool? I'm definitely buying the Festool models when either I am able to sell all of my current used drill/driver tools or they have died as I'm assuming Festool doesn't have either of the problems listed above. I could be mistaken about Festool and/or Milwaukee solutions. If anyone knows differently from their experience please do post...seems I will be ordering the Milwaukee for now (with reluctance)....would you believe that bottom drawer on my sons armoire has the same problem. I don't even have a bandsaw yet so shelling out lots of cash for a driver/drill when I already own a fairly new set is hard to justify  (wish I had learned about Festool earlier than I did!)

[/quote] I kept mine, it's somewhat more compact than the Festool RA head and could actually save the day at some point. in regards to the head being more compact i have to disagree as the head has to be held in place with one hand and the drill with the other as this chuck doesn't fix to a position like on the festool drills. IMO the cxs is the way to go as far as right angles in tight spaces until festool or someone else comes up with something better |
