I counted the Metabo. well I suppose @dwain can be up. He got all I had which were the ones sold in North America but I forgot to include those that don’t sell in North America.
What 18V tool contains a variable speed trigger, variable speed dial, orbital/pendulum settings, adjustable shoe/plate and quick change bit/blades.
The brushless makita d handle 18v and makita brushless d handle 12v jigsaw
Jronman is correct 😛
Im wondering about the festool carvex bit I’m not sure

Carvex doesn’t really have an adjustable baseplate. You can take it off or put it on. Can’t adjust it to 45° for example.

actually you buy a separate baseplate for angles. i was more wondering about variable speed trigger.

Yeah there are several different bases. But replace a base isn’t an adjustable base I think ? 😛
Gonna check on the variable trigger today.

Is the trigger variable on the Makita. I guess the tool Dwain is thinking about is the Bosch brushless orbital reciprocating saw.

On the D handle it is 🙂
Sorry for the delay. dmz2084 is right in that I was thinking about the brushless Bosch recip.
But Jronman gave a correct answer first (I didn’t know the Makita had a variable speed dial as well), so you’re up.
A company came out with 2 cordless tools recently. A finish guy would find these 2 tools more useful than a rough guy. At Home Depot they are sold under a different name than elsewhere. Name the company and type of tool.
AEG / Ridgid
Cordless trim router

The is incorrect. I’ll be more specific. Both tools sold under the same brand and both variations of names are sold in the United States. Another brand’s battery is used with these 2 tools.
Are you talking about the new battery Bostitch nailers which are rebadged Dewalts?
these tools are not badged under a different company name. I’ll give a fictional example. Milwaukee megasawzall sold at hd but at acme tool they sell the same sawzall and they sell it as the Milwaukee ultrasawzall. They are the same tool from the same company name but have different product names depending on the store.
ooooohhhhhh.
heres another clue. the tool sprays.
It’s the new Graco cordless paint sprayers. Sold as Graco TC (TrueCoat) in Home Depot and everywhere else has them as Graco Ultra.
@jtkendall correct your turn
Sorry for the delay in getting a question posted, been busy with work.
This tool is 18v, it cuts and has a fence but is not a saw, and it moves at 6500 RPM.
I would like the brand and tool or model number. More hints if there are incorrect guesses.
Great question! I feel like it must be a special tool, like something that plunges. I’m gonna guess a Festool Domino.
Good guess, but not the item in question since they don’t have a cordless Domino. I don’t think a cordless version would be practical since they’d price it at almost $2,000.
More Hints:
This tool helps in a bind, but there’s a split about whether it even makes sense to own one.
electric hand planer cuts and has the rabbet fence. Not sure which one has those rpms though.
That’s a really good guess, but not the tool I’m looking for.
This tool’s consumables are one time use, you buy them in high quantities even if you only need one, and it has a rack and pinion fence.
this one is tough. Makita 18v biscuit joiner?
@Jronman Correct!
I was having a hard time coming up with hints, so I’m glad I don’t need to do that any more because the next one was probably going to just be “it’s teal”. 😆
@jtkendall I wasn’t sure what kind of fence it had if any but knew it has consumables and cut.
This one doesn’t involve batteries but technically cordless.
Name 3 companies other than Tanos/Festool who make systainers compatible with Tanos systainers.
Mirka, mafell, Makita, prebena
Metabo, Triton, Makita
Metabo and Makita are correct. Just one more. The other guys listed have Tanos supply the systainer.
Hitachi
The L-boxx is made by tanos too right?
(I can’t be the correct one now) I just googled to check my previous answer. Triton do have Systainers but I don’t know if they actually make them.

Yeah but they’re made by Tanos just like the Mirka. Fien also uses Tanos for the few items they offer in systainers.
For the record it says Tanos in the top left corner above the black label. 🙂

l-boxx is made by Sortimo I believe.

Sounds right. Tanos… Sortimo… Both expensive and flimsy.
well Hitachi was the last one. I suppose @dmz2084 , @D W , or @kornomaniac can be up. Far as I know the rest have their systainers provided by Tanos.

I can’t think of a decent question so one of the other guys can go 🙂
Name 5 types of cordless tools with one of it’s features/specifications that always uses imperial units to describe it, regardless of whether its a metric or imperial country?
Bonus point: Name one that is the reverse of this (always metric). I can’t actually answer this so perhaps it can just generate discussion.
Circular saws – blade size
Impact wrenches – socket size
impact drivers – bit attachment size
angle grinders – disc size
drill drivers – chuck attachment thread

Almost. I see metric too commonly used for angle grinder discs, at least it’s common here in AUS (125mm for 5inch, 115mm for 4.5inch, 100mm for 4inch).

Circular saws and angle grinders are In Metric in Belgium/Netherlands 🙂
i guess ratchets, if you count them as separate from wrenches.
ooh, ROUTERS.

If I’m not mistaken some of the German companies make the metric equivalent of the 1/4 hex chuck bit.
I think I’m in over my head with this question. :-\
I was counting on Drills always described as 3/8 or 1/2 chucks, however, now I think I’ve seen metric used somewhere (10mm or 13mm).
I’m confident impact wrenches always use imperial.
I was also counting on Impact drivers always being described as 1/4 inch, and circular saws and mitre saws as 6.5 inch etc (I should have known this was wrong).
Perhaps impact wrenches are the only one.

Makita lists them in metric here in Finland as well, but a most of the guys still use inches when describing the size. Heck, even Makita product numbers have the inch size. (dga452 is 4.5 inch, dga 504 is 5 inch, dga700 is 7 inch, etc).
@D W I wouldn’t be surprised if there were 5 things always in imperial. I can think of an answer for the bonus question Tool batteries are measured in volts and watts which are both metric.

I was not implying the size of the chuck, but the thread it uses to attach the chuck. 1/2″-20UNF is definitely imperial.
