MY FESTOOL ADDICTION

[carlb40]

Whats your verdict on the CXS! Do the batteries last long when doing a lot of work

This is copied from one of my posts on the cxs

I love my cxs and find i am using it more and more every week.
At first i wasn't that impressed with the battery life as they were lasting about 3/4 of a day before needing to be charged. Now however it could be 2 days before charges.
I push mine to it's limit and beyond. Yesterday it was used to fix ply to stud was with 2" 10 screws without pilot holes.
Today i installed an external door frame with 5" 12 screws. Not once did it complain or struggle.  [big grin]

I will be glad when the day comes when i have the DRC to replace my big heavy 18v makita. When ever i pick it up, i always think whether the cxs can do the job instead. 9 times out of 10 it can. Now the makita only gets used for drilling out locks.  [wink]

I agree, I am addicted to Festool. Just remember, it there are a lot of other things that you could be addicted too.

I think I just passed the healthy/unhealthy threshold as I'm now looking for empty systainers in which to place my non Festool tools.

Nothing wrong with non Festools in systainers. I gets unhealthy when you look at your empty bank account while you try to figure out a way to get your monthly Festool fix....

It is indeed an addition...to organization.  I have at least 64 systainers, probably more, it is hard to keep track.
