![]() ![]() ![]() It WAS a dud! well half of the set was, at least. Great to join all you crazy Festool nutz. Job done and $120 tradesman fee already saved off the purchase price of $415 (Australian). Main lesson learnt = invest in Robertson screws ASAP. So, to its 1st job - fixing the busted roof gutter before the next torrential downpour: Exec Summary = there is no way I could have achieved this by myself (with no acrow prop, half hanging off the ladder, lifting the roof gutter full of water with one hand while operating the right angle posidrive by feel alone in the other) with any other tool. the Centrotec hex-bit holder (in the right angle chuck) rotates in a skewed /wobbly manner along its axis and in use, my thumb finds the reverse button with annoying regularity. The chuck changing is as slick and intuitive as anticipated and the LED light perfectly illuminates the target without chuck-shadow as hoped. The tool itself, however, is the most ergonomic of any we've yet handled and the styling is way cooler than the current rage for lightsabres. Initial impressions were slightly dampened thanks to (what appears to be) moisture damage to the insides and the user manual, the Systainer looks like it's done the rounds too. Quote from: parablade on September 23, 2016, 06:51 AMĪfter 6 days snailmailing across half of Australia, we're relieved to finally take receipt today from C&L Tool Centre Brisbane. We'll find out how good or bad all this hands-off research has been when it arrives next week (sadly UPS / Amazon drones don't operate here). Why? For no better reason than I believe the placement of the LED light low down on the T's battery will cast less of a shadow onto the target than it would higher up on the C's handle. So the final decision was - C handle or T. And, most importantly for members here, it's the 10.8V blue+green machine that beat the latest 12V teal offering, being only 25 Aussie dollars more but with the added benefit of the switchable chucks set. Also that a simple corded hammer drill will cover the few holes we'll need to hang the overhead units and a small bunch of other tasks down the line. You've helped me realise the missus and I don't need to be wielding an 18V cordless to assemble the pending Ikea kitchen and that 10.8-12V brushless is the go. G'day, sports! So, after weeks of consigning my wife to being a Google widow, I'd like to thank everyone here on FOG, and authors on YouTube and the myriad of tool reviews and forums around the world, for helping this humble DIYer make the (hopefully) right decision.
