Yeah. I did it. Again…..Milwaukee 2897-22. A little red ain’t bad, right?

The jury’s still out but it’s pretty slick 😉

oooooh ahhhh, i just want the gen 2 drill, don’t need the impact, although i don’t need the drill either but i want it lol

I have this set and I like it a lot. The impact driver is very strong

Nice Chris, welcome to the red side lol. Good tooling with your new purchase.

nice kit bro! I also have some red being sent over from our fellow tool junkie KDV hopefully they will be here soon it’s the 1st gen and I’m excited to try them out. Thanks for sharing with us bro!

I don’t think anyone should be talking down about Home depot, that place is building my house…..rrrr I’m rebuilding my house with home depot that is….

and chris, you have it bad dude, let me be the first in line for the impact around end of february

Welcome back to the dark side (at least darker than your yellow tools).

That leaves the case, dam it! screwed again. I had to check that person who posted just before me, I thought Dan’s account got hacked lol. Glad to see him on the forum.

Yeah Chad, I don’t think that is going to change. I mean I’ll add Powermatic and Sawstop to that category too 🙂

Thanks Dan!

For you nay sayers……wow. So little faith………;)

Those look awesome Chris, enjoy

Thanks Mikey! I hate to admit it, they feel pretty good. I still think the grip on the Dewalt is better but these do feel awesome. Can’t wait to try them out but I don’t really have anything big going on right this minute. I was thinking about adding a lean too to the back of my shed for my Can Am but we will see!

you be careful with those things, these tools have some real power.

This is Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile….lol

Jimbo, My brother in-law bought 5 kits last month. He got them for $315 each plus a free bare fuel tool. He didn’t need the drills but he wanted the impacts and batteries so the deal was too good to pass up. If all you need is the bare Drill I know he would be willing to sell one.

Nor his father’s root beer which is sitting on the machine waiting to be spilled and ruin all the fun when the tool breaks.

Thanks Comp, I have to admit, the torque on the return was pretty impressive. The structural lumber I will be using will all be PT 6x with some large lags. I’m thinking those won’t be an issue with these guys.

I didn’t know about that, I wonder if its any good? Get back to me on that will you if you have a chance to try it.

Will do

I didn’t realize that he was out of town on a snowmobile trip so I haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet. I should be able to get in touch with him today and let you know. Initially he told me that he only wanted to keep 2 of the drills so I think he was going to try to sell 3 of them.

Just saw this pic of a lot of RED, would make comp56 proud, and me to be an American. It looks close to my collection, they just need a couple more items lol.

don’t have that much, and I am proud to be an American….. North American

Yes North America I forgot the north part. Lol. My bad. Sometimes my brain is not working on all cylinders. And I tend to combine thoughts. It has been getting worse lately.

I’m also sure Chrisk is not that innocent either!! He does dirty dirty things to his Festool tools!!

Your on to me Jason! I love American girls. But……

Yes he does, hay speaking of Festools! Chrisk, did you see me promote Festools to justbookkid? First thing I thought of was YOU, when he said, cost was not a factor, and he just wanted quality tools. 🙂
