Nice, are you going to post some pics Jason?
I will try to get some snaps of it before and after I fill it with tools
Awesome!
great tool you got there – looks good for a recon item. let us know how you like it after using it.
maybe another vid while you framing
hubba hubba hubba!!!!very nice bro!! im jealous man ive been wanting to pick that beauty up for awhile and for the price u paid that was awesome, great unboxing video chris.
first i thought you ordered it from KMS
Nice nailer Chris! Really good condition for a refurb.
Thanks guys!mMadman, nope Tyler tool. But I DI-ID order the Makita brushless jigsaw and the two battery charger from them today. Of course I don’t have any batteries 🙁
you guys got some really nice tools, let us know how they preform
Oh and the order for the saw and charger was through KMS tools in Can-uh-da 🙂
It would be a great idea if TIA could create a new section titled ” The Unboxing” so when members get new tools in the mail they can post the Unboxing pic/video of them in that section…. ………….Ok now my bride really thinks I’m nuts…..

yeah im expecting a big package from them too. ordered it on the 8th but it hasnt been shipped yet
Sweet nailer Chris!! I keep looking at those so I can ditch my gas ones.

i paid with credit card but still no charge on it. im even curious if they charge it in USD with the 0.8 exchange ratio.

I have one of those cases that I got free from work, saved it from the trash heap.
Yeah I’m hopeful of the same thing Madman. I had LASIK in 2000 in Montreal (nicest city next to Sam Diego I’ve ever been to) and I paid for the surgery on my credit card and when I got the bill it was a LOT less than the price I paid there, I’m hopeful this is the same thing.madman_us wrote:

Thank you sir! It was cheaper than the original nailer by like five bucks! Both brushless both with 4.0s this one has two speeds.

i watched a few vids on youtube – definitely a really cool nailer.

what just made me curious, there is nowhere a point of CAD – just the $$$ sign….other sides actually say CAD$ or so.
but Sam mentioned that it gonna be less because they sell in CAD. but lets see 😀
my package gonna have 10 items in it haha – cant wait to get the email that its finally shipped and i hope it wont take so long for the trip.
Hey Chris just a heads up on the nailer. The switch for the nail size really makes the difference. The other day I was ready to chuck the nailer out the window till I remember to switch to 3 1/2.
Thanks Regopit!
Sweet buy, looks pretty awesome. I got to demo one for a few strikes and it seems to work pretty decent.
Chris is leaning towards team yellow. Just a few more tools and you’re in! 😉
Great deal you got there. It’s still on my wishlist, but the price around here….everytime I put it in my cart I think of a lof of other tools I can buy for that money. Someday…
Picked this up today at HD no packaging just the light $60

damn Rego that was a DEAL!!
the order i made from KMS tools (canada); do i have to pay custom fees when its shipped to the states?

I think all the fees are included in at shipping charge which by the way showed up on my account about $100 cheaper than I was charged thanks to the U.S. Dollar!
lets wait and see if they come up with something.
there is a chance you guys might get hit with a brokerage charge which is totally separate from shipping and duties.. it is charges by a lot of the shipping companies for international shipments.. when i bought from Canada last, not kms tools, my stuff was shipped UPS and about a week after my stuff showed up i got a bill from ups for around $35
i haven’t gotten charges any duties and dont think i will
Got these beauties in the mail today 🙂 ordered them back in oct!!
I’ve had the pencil for a little while but I threw it in there for scale and to mention it.. it doesn’t have to be woodpeckers, they actually have these made for them by Autopoint, made in the US which is cool.. it’s also a .9mm lead which fits the 1mm holes on these little marking t squares great and I’ve found it to be a lot less prone to breakage on lumber than .7mm

ya i looked up – it will be delivered via UPS and the brokerage fee gonna be $25 for the amount i ordered.

They look great but I have no idea what I would do with them.

Oeh, that’s some nice Woodpeck stuff again NER!
Yesterday I finally received my Stabila stuff. I really don’t know why, but every time I order a Stabila product it takes about a month to arrive.
Must be something with the distributor.
Anyways, I’m all done with levels now. Got me another R300 level in 100cm and their new digital angle finder.

As for measurement tools, all I really need now is a rotary laser. Been eyeballing a Stabila for a while, but I’ll wait for DeWALT to come out with a new 18V rotary laser (perhaps green beam?)
Thanks guys! im excited about these.. i had been wanting them to remake them for a while and they finally did so i made sure not to miss out. I currently use the incra precision t-rule but i dont like how you can only use .5mm lead with them.. yeah thats all good for accuracy but the lead breaks way to easy when marking wood which makes it more frustrating than useful for me..
Samuel, these are for any sort of precision layout work.. joinery, layout lines parallel to the edge of your work piece, locating things like hinges and other hardware etc.. the t-square aspect of them also allows you to make perpendicular marks on your work piece up to the length of the tool..
many of the same features that you would use a combination square for but having the fixed holes removes an additional degree of human error when parallel marking
thanks Mr. Yellow, Nice haul yourself! i havent upgraded any of my Stabilas to the R Beams yet but they sure are tempting! That digital angle finder is quite nice also.. we dont have that guy in the US
I know Bosch isnt the right color for you but they make some nice lasers.. I have the GLL3-80 and it is excellent for my needs.. also they just came out with the GLL2-20 and at around $250 usd for a 360 laser that has got to be the best bang for your buck in the world of self leveling, lockable 360 lasers.. you could always paint it yellow 😀 as far as quality lasers go, its hard to beat Stabila or PLS which conveniently happen to be the correct color!!
thanks for explaining them NER I did know what they were for. Oh and congrats on the new set!NERemodeling wrote:

Cheers NER. I was in need of some good levels, so finally got that covered now. Very happy with the R300’s.
The digital angle finder is the new model that I only found recently on their website. Guess that will eventually finds it’s way into the US…
True, Bosch makes some nice products and they have a nice range, but yeah, I like my yellow 😉
I have a DeWALT crossline laser and prefer to keep ‘my brand’ for a rotary laser. Although the Stabila’s are really really nice. Especially with their premium receiver.
Never heard of PLS outside the States. Will wait to see what DeWALT comes up with and then decide.

come on.. be honest with yourself 🙂 your name is Mr. Yellow… i think you have already decided!! haha
Ill admit, i dont keep all one brand across every tool but i do like to keep consistent brands for types of tools.. all one 18v cordless.. 90% one in corded, all one for nail guns, all one for lasers, all one for levels ect…..
Not really a new toy but rather an old toy repaired. Our cage for our forkilt needed the rails re-done. I picked it up from the welder yesterday and am priming and painting it.
What I said. Bosch makes nice tools as do other brands, but I like my DeWALT and if they come out with an 18v laser it’s a no brainer as that’s what I use for my cordless tools.
And if not, Stabila is yellow too 😉

That would have helped me out a lot in junior high wood shop.
