Today was peanut butter err, Festool Roadshow time. :) :) :)

I bought the limited edition SYS-2. Everything else are/were welcoming gifts from Festool and the dealer.

Minor purchase but I really like this; V-Line Clamp.  Holds chalk line or tape measure in various positions and clamps to the material.
 
I got my Delve SS Square and my Bevel Guage from Woodpecker today. Now I know why people wait for the SS versions of their tools, very nice!
 
TSO rail square guide - told the boss I needed it for a table I was building for her.  ;-)
 
I was able to 'play' with the TSO square yesterday and I was impresses with the accuracy.  Here are my measurements using the 5 cut test method:

Length of test piece - 19.25"
width of top of off cut - .462"
width of bottom of off-cut  - .458"
difference of width .06" over 19.25"

I would say it's pretty darn accurate...

Not sure what others with the TSO product found but if you're on the fence, hop off and buy it. 

Great job by [member=59331]TSO Products[/member]
 
Bought a new Raimondi Exploit 70 wet tile saw.

I don’t really do enough tiling to justify the purchase but bought it anyway.

Made in Italy, has a Festool feel to it.  Tiling a bathroom floor this weekend, will try it out.

After my last impulse buy (Wheeler Engineering gunsmith screwdriver set), I decided I wouldn't buy anymore cheap tools if there was any sort of alternative, and that I would begin systematically replacing the cheap tools I have.

Ordered a Grace USA Gunsmith 24 Bit Magnetic Tip Screwdriver Set to make up for the Wheeler purchase and a Sturtevant Richmont F80-10 Torque Wrench 0-80 in/lb 1/4" Dr. off eBay since it was a fabulous bargain.
 
I picked up a Woodpecker's 1281 square along with a 6" Incra t-rule and a hammerless nailset.

Haven't purchased this yet but I did think it was some interesting stuff. The shot with the chainsaw is intriguing.

This stuff was originally called BRAEÖN. This quote is from the website:

"THANK YOU FOR SEEKING OUT BRAEÖN. YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE BY BEING ABLE TO SPELL BRAEÖN!

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED LOTS OF FEEDBACK ABOUT THE NAME AND WE (still) THINK IT’S A COOL NAME, OUR SURVEYS TELL US THAT FEW CAN SPELL IT, PRONOUNCE IT (brawn), OR REMEMBER IT.

THAT PROMPTED THE PAINFUL PROCESS OF COMING UP WITH A NEW NAME…INTRODUCING...FORJ."

I have an extension table coming tomorrow for my Hammer A3-31.  Also some 8 foot lengths of Misumi Engineering t-track are scheduled for delivery tomorrow.  Excited about both so I can continue working on my outfeed table/workbench project.

As I’m sure several of us took advantage of some Black Friday deals.  I ran to Home Depot to pick up some electrical parts and couldn’t pass up a DeWalt 20v cordless OMT kit.  Tool, 20v 1.5amp battery, charger and a couple of blades for $99.

I recently purchased a nice selection of 2" extended Torx drive bits from Apex Tools, made in the USA. Sizes 6 through 40. Very handy to have when those Torx screws are buried in a deep recess.

While not being Centrotec, I do find Apex to be the longest lasting bits on the market. Better than Festool & Milwaukee and 10 times better than Dewalt & Irwin. I've never had one shatter, crack or break. They last for years.

Purchased the SysLite Duo with the tripod from Bob Marino.  Have a basement drywall and painting project coming up and looking forward to using it.
Damn that thing is bright.

I am thinking about adding an in-line power switch to the cord close to the light head - bought one from Amazon for $8 that I may try.
