Since I already have an ETS 125 REQ and also have the angle attachment, I decided to prove to myself they didn't work a couple weeks ago when I first brought it home.

And I decided to pull the trigger on 576480 Cordless impact TID 18 HPC4,0 I-Plus US from Recon. My nearest dealer that still has this discontinued SKU in stock is asking $346 (which isn't terrible), but the Recon price of $244 all-in is tough to beat. The current 577108 Energy Set is $285 and doesn't have the TID 18.

@onocoffee I just got the TID/TPC set a week or so back myself, and love them! The TID very surprisingly was gruntier and faster at driving 4" screws than my Makita's!

That was a great deal. I was tempted but couldn't find a way to justify a second TID, but glad you picked it up. The TID is much quieter than the M18 Fuel I had previously and, as always, the trigger is great. Guess I have a thing for triggers.

I also picked this up from Recon and it appears to be brand new, not even the usual yellow sticker. Maybe Festool is trying to seed the market with their battery tools? Either way, I'm very happy with my purchase. I have bought 4 cordless Festool tools in the past 3 months and so far so good
I ordered most of the items i require for the inside of a vacpump systainer setup.
Gauge housing, gauge, plug it connection, switch, check valve, and a couple of other things
I will probably get the systainer mold (? foam liner) and a new systainer and modify it in the future.

Bunch of systainer sys-rolls, a few systainers, and some mini systainers from the inventory reduction sale at Systainer USA. Nothing sexy due to car projects taking over in the warmer weather.

That sander was my first Festool purchase, and the gateway to a few others. Welcome to the forum, great group here.

@GoolsbyMD I'd highly recommend mesh discs (Mikra Abranet, Granat Net, Cubitron 2) to pair perfectly with the sander. If you make sure you also get some protector pads.
The ETS EC is hands down the best sander I've ever used, you'll love it!

Not Festool, but related...Snappy Centrotec self centering pilot hole drills to replace the .25" version I've had since like forever. I had expiring points at ToolNut and used them for most of the cost. I use Centrotec stuff as much as I can so this is a nice upgrade as I don't need to use an adapter for this purpose anymore.

I am in Madrid for a week and went to Comercial Pazos and purchased a Festool MB 40-Set. Seems very cool, it will be a while before I get home to the US and can try it out.
The only thing that surprised me a bit was the systainer insert includes places to store several things not included in the kit. Some of this makes sense like different Chucks , but on the right hand side they show some things that look the adapters for LR-32 kit and an extra spring. Any suggestions? See attached picture from the lid insert.
Then, of course, there is the 170 page manual that comes with it, that has ten pages of diagrams, and six pages of instructions in ~26 languages. Basically 16 of 170 pages that are useful. Festool could do so much better in this area.

I liked my KSC60 a lot. Came from the factory dead nuts square and true. I wish it used the KS 120 clamp. I like how light it is. At 70 I can't carry heavy objects anymore.
