Which power tool should I buy next?

[wow]

WOW it's time to get off line and get some sleep to help your recovery.  [smile]

And because it is now obvious you will be buying both a CXS and ETS150/3!  [big grin]

Awww, sleep is overrated. Especially if I - I mean YOU - took a nap this afternoon.

[wink]

Besides, I just finished counting and packaging another 2,000 bandages for the First-Aid systainers tonight. Only 6,000 or so left to go...

 

[wow]

First, I appreciate everyone's willingness to help me spend money!

[wink]

Believe me, I was agonizing greatly over this. I already have the Centrotec kit, so that begs a CXS. I have the RO150, so that begs the ETS150/3. And, of course, everyone needs a detail sander! Man, talk about tough decisions? I'm STILL not convinced to buy into the whole Festool Cordless tool line, and I really don't NEED another sander right now.

Then tonight I was lamenting my situation and my lovely bride reminded me of a project I promised to do for her. Well, guess what? I need a new tool to do that!

So I ordered the Carvex 420 D-Handle Corded Jigsaw Model 561608. And to go along with my 'stuff I already have that begs a purchase' theme, thanks to the 7-corners closing sale I already own the "Angle Base for Carvex Jigsaw - 496134" and the "Guide Rail Base for Carvex Jigsaw - 497303". Talk about a no-brainer. huh?

Betcha didn't see that coming, did ya? That's OK, neither did I. But it's all good, and my great debate about the next power tool can wait for another day...

OK - they're in my shopping cart right now. I even added a Kapex!

Please PM me your Credit Card information and I'm all set, since that's the only real issue I was wrestling with...

I said PM - this now gives me an over limit error when I try to use it.

Curses - foiled again!

Did you end up ordering blades for your Carvex? I do enjoy that saw.

 

[GPowers]

After see all the Milwaukee M12 tools you own (another thread)  it did not look like you need another drill motor. So the Carvex is a great choice.

 

[wow]

NO. It says it comes with two, which I will try before I buy more.

Dang you wow !

The Carvex PS420 arrives today from Tool-Home.
Then, I just hung up with Tom and ordered an RO 90 with "The wow abrasive set", an RO90 abrasive Systainer (497687) and a parallel guide set.

Anyway I'm stoked.

I've always told my wife..."If nothing else, I can always serve as a bad example."

[cool]

Glad I could help!

I know you can say this about many Festool products, but I would NEVER part with my CXS.  Even after getting a T18 I still find myself reaching for the CXS most of the time.

Regards,
Gerald

I feel the same about mine

 

[iamnothim]

Ya know what's a bummer?

It's a bummer when your wife runs out to the FedEx truck expecting clothing and the driver hands her a Carvex 420.  [sad]
That she didn't know she ordered...

Wow - I think purchasing the Carvex was a wise move....  Hey, I bought one!

I was on the verge of placing an order for the CXS last week after saying no way would I buy any of the Festool drills, I just see them as too expensive and there are too many other alternatives available.  Then I went to the Borg, saw a display, selling the 20V drill and impact with 2 batteries and charger...........for $99......  No way could I pass that up!  So, I add to my DeWalt drill fleet and must admit I truly do like these drills.  When you find these special sales, at that price, really makes it hard to spend 3-6 times over for a Festool drill....

I think the Kapex might be my final Festool purchase (for the foreseeable future)....  Trying to hold out, but, getting rather weak.....

Yeah, 3pedalMini didn't bid quite enough on the First Aid Kit for me to buy a Kapex. It's all his fault!

Hey, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ...

altough i have ETS125  and cooltainer on order  [cool]

The Kapex is really nice with the Wings and cart, I think that is where it really shines.

The reason why I asked about the blades is that I find the blades are great. The 75/4 FSG blades are really good.
