The Sys-Combo boxes aren't arriving in this round of product additions?

The Sys-Combo boxes aren't arriving in this round of product additions?

Nope, doesn't look that way.  [crying]

Historically, even products that don't require UL approval tend to make it to the U.S. many months after European introduction.

Nope, no Sys-Combi. Yet.

Can anybody tell me what the difference in light output is between the KAL and the KAL2?

 

[Shane Holland]

Can anybody tell me what the difference in light output is between the KAL and the KAL2?

I don't think lumens rating was ever released for the KAL I. Marketing info says that the KAL II has twice the output. But doesn't specify if that's just double the LEDs or actually double the brightness.

SysLite KAL II
Bright: 769 lumens
Dark: 310 lumens

I finally had a chance to check the 4" #2 Robertson bit, pocket holes in 3/4" material, the bit works with both the Centrotec holder and the Jacobs chuck (as long as you don't bury the bit in the chuck).
