Good first day with CSX

[RonMiller]

Received my CSX last evening from Uncle Bob and put it right to work today. I've been using the smaller lithium Bosch's since 2006 and generally liked them - they're a good match for my main work of cabinet making and kitchen installs. First impressions: I like the smooth operating feel, light weight, comfortable handle (fits into my hand perfectly - thanks Festool engineers for using my paw print as the basis for handle size!), and magnetic spot for the bits (much more practical than I imagined). I've needed a right angle capability and never had it so am looking forward to testing that soon. And now I await my Centrotec installers kit next month...

I want to see how this holds up long-term, but no complaints so far. I ran it all day and didn't notice any weakness or slowdown. If it performs well I can imagine owning one of its big brothers in the future.

ya, you're doomed. nowthat I have a cxs with a right angle and a t15 with one, I use it every day. For a laugh I installed an aluminum door jam for a set by firing ten billion tec screws into it with my right angle. it will be impossible to remove without a festool drill, I attached a note reminding them to call me to remove it come strike time, ensuring work in the future.

He clearly has too much faith in the judgment of the average worker.

It's amazing And terrifying to see just how much butchery can be done with a sawzall.

Oh no doubt they'll smash it to bits, it's more just to make sure they don't forget me
