NEW TOOLS (N AMERICA!) June 1

[yetihunter]

All I know is, I was about to start a "Do I want a Fein ASCM 18 QX or a T18?" thread just before I checked my email yesterday.  Now the contenders make a magic number known as three.

My local tool stores would prefer I limit my options to Festool, however.

I wish that someone would send me a PM with the new tools being released soon  8)

With the exception of one that I'm not interested in.... I already own the others coming! [tongue]  Hint Hint [big grin]

I won't say more for fear of wrath from the Green Machine gods! [scared]

Yep, I'm onboard with this idea too!

t
yep.  this thread and your comment made me think of this video.  the jar on top of the fridge, green lid and all, represents festool naina goodies and the piggy represents...nah, i better not; everyone should just make their own analogies...

Cute...I resemble that remark.  [wink]

Back to the main subject, most of the clues to what you can expect are viewable on UK site or at - http://www.festool.com.au

Obviously there will remain some NAINA due to voltage or compliance issues.

I'll see what I can do

Check out the reviews of the Fein on Amazon.  Some people complain of significant trigger lag.

I don't want to rub off topic as much as I already did.  I do say though: I don't trust Amazon reviews.

I made my decision though. t18 now.  pDC later.

You won't be disappointed in the T18 yeti. I bought mine about three weeks ago and it's really....really nice. I already had the other chucks from my T15 kit I sold so I'm just running that and the CXS.

I'm rocking the new metabo and couldn't be happier. plus centrotec fits it so no lost investment in old bits.

I'd also like to get in on the rumor mongering please!

It's a nice tool.  My corded power tools
are all Metabo.  Three of them have problems
that I'm going to have to live with, however.

I've not been a huge fan of metabo in the past but the new drill is a solid piece of kit.

I tried their sliding mitre saw before getting the Bosch glide. I liked the idea of an induction motor but as a package it just felt a bit cheap. So returned it. I also looked at their RO sanders and got the same impression.

Maybe it's a visual thing, they just don't look expensive...

 

[GhostFist]

Metabo seem to shine with grinders for metal or concrete work. this drill is also very solid and I really like the stepless right angle attachment, less fumbly to reconfigure than my t 15. As far as their other woodworking tools I can't really comment

 

[jacko9]

I have the CSX and the T-18 and a few other corded drill including my 1/2" Milwaukee Drill that will spin me around it has so much torque.  It's not a drill I use often but If I need to drill a large hole - It's a killer.

 

[rizzoa13]

Hole hawg? That thing will F up your day if your not holding on tight.

 

[GhostFist]

Ha
