What Festool Did You buy Today?

[GaryA]

@GaryA I have a very old Kapex 120, but have been thinking the KSC60 would be very handy, how have you found it? Any beefs with any aspect of it?

I love the 60, as a mobile carpenter I have to carry it around a lot so the 120 was always going to be too big. The only thing I dislike is the dust collection bag. It is totally useless.

That's good to know thanks. I need to lug the saw around more than I like and the 120 gets a little cumbersome at times.

I did buy a smaller dual mode Virutex a while back for lugging around but that turned out to be a garbage saw, so the 60 has been in mind for a while, especially being cordless.

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.
