There is a sign in our warehouse that says "Happy Domino XL/Syslite/Surfix Bonanza Day!!!!" I think that sums it up nicely....

Good observation GPowers! You have no idea (or maybe you do) how much I have been really looking forward to this light! I have been yelling at Kreg's & Dave's YouTube videos everyday for the past 30 days cuz they already have one and I have had the need for that little gem every single one of those 30 days! I think it will be my 3rd most used tool after my CXS & C15! ^PUMPED^
Off to see the world thru LED's!!!
B to the O to the B!

Here's some Friday fun!  I sent this picture to my wife! She found no humor in the fact that I associated love and tools in the same photo! Her sense of humor is about as big as a 2 year olds strike zone! Oh well, if you can't have fun or music or both, it's all just pointless! Bob |

I ordered the Systlite and Surfix, I am hoping a Domino XL was accidentally shipped with the order. Fingers crossed There is a sign in our warehouse that says "Happy Domino XL/Syslite/Surfix Bonanza Day!!!!" I think that sums it up nicely....

Tom, The shipper tracking says that I'll get mine on Tuesday. I have two nightstands under construction in my shop right now that I'll have to accelerate and complete to give me room to play with my new toy Jack |

Used my SysLite this afternoon to shed additional light on a cabinet that I was spraying black. Awesome!

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Who has buyers remorse from buying a $175.00 flashlight? Just wondering? Festool seems to have made more enemies then friends with the Syslite campaign. At least on the other forums i hang out at. The XL looks amazing though, Eric

Ron, interesting you say two, bc from the get go i have maintained that for $175 you should get two lights and a nice tripod. Then I could leave one in the box van and have one for around the home, or when doing a bunch of drywall have two on a tripod facing an entire wall. And for all you people demonstrating the lights capability in the attic, please. I go into a clients attic once every five years and my HVAC guy cant afford a $175 light. He uses a $20 one he got at Dicks. Just my two cents, Eric

Scott, I have in the past used Sedge as part of humorous posts here, but I really wanted to go different and spotlight him. That is why I made this after looking at dozens of images of him. This is a classic pose for him and one that is very fond to me. Brian is one of the most extraordinarily awesome humans. That is why I did it. He rocks! Peter |

I haven't thrown my hat in the Syslite review ring yet, but the one thing I don't like about it is that I am neurotic about it. This is one of those things that it seems best to have a spare tucked away somewhere behind a sign saying: "break glass in case of emergency only".
