Hi Mark,you’re right I don’t know what I would do without mine now either. So much easier and much quicker. I’ve been dying to by the HKC55 as it’s the tool missing from this video to be honest. It would suit me great. Do you recommend it buddy ?? I’ve here’d it’s under powered ?? I would be cutting 3x2 and 4x2 mainly as I would with skill saw if. Don’t bring my mitre saw see. The bricks are what I’ve collected from local clay pits from around my area. Some are from other places. I will do short video for you so you can see them lol. Or I will add it at an end of one of my videos for you 👍😄 thanks 👍

Also is the better blade for HkC55 a thinner one that’s 1.8mm kerf. Another question does the riving knife get stuck or keep if lifted while cutting. Reason I haven’t got one as I’m not getting the right information seems buddy 👍

@@markthomas5139 the HKC 55 for me cutting framing timber and whatever is great. I use the 24 tooth Freud blade in mine and it cuts well. When compared to other saws I guess it does fall behind in power but keep a sharpe fresh blade in in and it does stuff others can’t. With the track it’s king. Never out of my van to be honest. Right okay I did wonder about the bricks😁 You could do what I done and buy a used hkc55. Mine was like new with the standard blade in it and they don’t cut great to be honest and possibly puts some of and they sell. Think I payed £300 for mine with the small track and two 5.2ah😊

@@markthomas5139 I forgot at times freehand you need to press down and move the cover but I have never had any moments where i had any issues. Like everything you get used to it the more you use it.

@@markjarman7819 thank you buddy. Looks like I’m getting one now. I will take your advice and get the feud blade also. Yes I have seen you can lift guard with your thumb which I like. I will see the price differences from second hand to new and make my mind up. Thank you I’m looking forward to getting one now. 👍😄

Hey Blackbeard I’m in Bridgend to lol. The best way I find it to try and slow the cut down. I find if I’m cutting quicker I have more mess. Sadly the dust extraction on the m18 isn’t good. I normally only set this saw up on sunny days outside. But we don’t get many of them living in wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. I don’t know if you have got one already but I only own Festool KS60 mitre saw and the dust extraction on them is amazing. That’s the saw I use indoors 👍

I was working above the van on the first floor. Undercover police were working the other side of the wall. They actually seen the man jump the wall. They seen him on top of the wall going over waring a balaclava. They gained entry to the building with some1 letting them in through the front door. They come up to me and asked where’s the wall with spikes ontop. They explained to me that they seen some1 jump the wall. They said where’s the wall. I said I know there’s a wall in the car park. We all went down to find hacksaw on the floor with bike chains. They asked me to check my van to find out he had all screw guns. On CCTV he’s seen hiding in the garage cutting the bike chains with my hacksaw lol. 👍

Thank you,yes that’s the only way to stop the second hand market. I say sell on eBay if you got receipts and proof of warranty like Festool. Apart from that it should be stopped 👍😄

Hi Troy I haven’t seen any comments except this comment? 👍

Sorry to hear what you have had stolen over the years it’s gutting to be honest. All those estwing hammers that’s awful. I have had 2 Makita chargers with 5amp batteries go walking in the past and they were new also. Replaced the one,few months later the other goes. Some times we wonder how we don’t make make as much money as we would like. If we wasn’t replacing broken and stolen tools we all would be better off. Sadly they do care about who they are taking them off we are left to spend our hard earned money on replacing them 👍👍

Oddly I didn’t need to do anything as the police seen the man jumping the wall wearing a balaclava 👍

Thank you Michael 👍😄 to be honest I got off very lightly there,couldn’t be a better result 👍😄

I will check it out mate. I run all colours of tools as other brands make certain things better than others. All my lighting is Milwaukee. My radio is Makita as they are the best radios. I will check that out mate 👍😄

@markthomas5139 drill, 2 batteries and charger are cheaper than the tid18 by itself

@ thanks,I do own 18v Makita impact driver 6 year old. When it dies I will check out your recommendation 👍😄 Thank you 👍👍

Mark that makes sense to be honest. But it has been a pain for me gluing up having them the wrong way around after sanding off marks I’ve put for face. 👍😄

Hi,yes that’s exactly what I use mine for. My Milwaukee pack out is for my rip out job. They get left on the job until the job is cleaned out. Once any carpentry starts then come the Festool systainers with all my bits. I don’t like my Festool systainers in the dusty side of the jobs,so went with pack out for that. As the pack out is bulky I leave them on the jobs. 👍😄

Thank you Michael 👍😄

Hi Jason,thanks. The bits I was using were wera diamond impact bits. I’ve used them for years in all my other impact drivers with no problems. I’m going to try other bits in there as I like the impact driver,just need to see what works best with it 👍

@ I’d say try and mix it up with bits and screws. Sometimes the quality of the screws for no reason as well. 👍🏻

@ yes I will certainly be trying different variations of both 👍😄

Hi Fletcher,yes I would imagine after years of use they will become much easier to open. Or there’s always the option you mentioned just to modify the handle. Thanks 👍😄

Another problem which I had not considered is since the handle folds the opposite direction you actually need that catch to prevent the handle from coming out when the lid is opened

@ that makes sense now. It’s only there to stop what you said happening. So if you remove the plastic tab the handle will fall out every time you open it. What a pain 👍😄

Thank you Troy much appreciated mate 👍👍👍😄

Yes Michael they do make good rail Squares 👍😄

Yeah I want be doing that again 👍

Hi Simon 100% the right size torx bit. It shocked me to be honest that all 3 couldn’t drive more than 25mm deep. You’re not the only one to say to swap my screws to Torx. I know Screwfix sell turbo gold 2 which are Torx so I’m going to change to them. Maybe im being old school no going with the times not swapping to Torx. 👍😄

Nope every screw gun exactly the same. None of them couldn’t drive the trick through ash lol 😂 👍

Thank you Michael 👍😄much better doing it like that if you already have the batteries in the first place 👍👍👍😄

Yes Harvey the T-loc is great you’re probably right but I wanted to add it to my list. Thanks 👍😄

Senco I think we’re the first on the market with drywall gun. Never here’d any complaints about them just good things. Not everyone had the problems with the carvex I think it’s the never models. (Glad yours is spot on ) That’s the exact bits I’m using in my TID the wera diamond 💎 now these bits last ages in my other impacts but keep rounding pz2 screw heads. I will try bi torsion as these are wera older bits if I remember right. It is really weird how they don’t like the wera diamond as I’ve been using the exact same bits in mine. I did try the Festool bits but they weren’t lasting 5 mins. In my video I mentioned using the TID on lower speed to stop the rounding but this made driving screws take longer. 👍😄 Thank you 👍👍👍😄

Hi the great thing about the MFT is when you change the top it’s brand new again. I do try and use MFT protectors but they can be a pain sometimes to use. The clamps in the middle of that set are great. They hold really well 👍 A few have commented on the carvex set for the jigsaw so I think it’s something I need to look into. How big of a circle can you cut with the jig ??

Happy new year 🥳 👍😄

@ the radius cutter extends to 150mm so the diameter is a 3 meter circle. I wish I had room to try that size out. 😂👍🏻 I’ll treat myself to this hold down clamps this year.

@ oh that sounds good lol. I don’t thing I would use the 3m option,but glad it’s there lol 😂. Yes you want be disappointed with those clamps 👍😄

Thank you hope you have a happy new year too from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👍😄 Yes the routers do come with a price tag. Sadly as you mentioned working on site I don’t blame wanting to take Festool there just to get stolen. My first router was Rioby my second Makita then I got my Festool one. I will say the improvement on just the dust extraction is great you will notice the difference when you go clean up. I do use the feuad bits when I do worktops I find they do a lot of cutting. I don’t use the trade trend ones as you struggle to last it for one joint. A good jig also as I’ve had a few to find which one I prefer. Thank you 👍👍👍😄

Hey Brad nice to see you again. I’m the uk with OF1400 you get 1/4 collet and 1/2 inch with the router. Obviously I’m thinking the 8mm and 1/4 inch must come with the 1010. It could very well be different in the US compared to uk. 👍😄

Mark, I love the kitchen nstaller set in a systainer. All my kit for drilling and screwing in one place. I know this sounds funny, but the most used bit of this kit is the countersink bits. For years I used cheap ones that ragged the hole and were rubbish but as Mark would say this was a 'game changer' and makes my work piece look neat ( just a shame about the rest of the thing I made, which looks like I made it in the dark) 😂

Hey Troyboy ,Happy new year too 👍😄oh that’s nice coming in your set can’t complain about that. I will say the router bit set is quality. You will love the MFT when you pick one up. Loads have them in their top 3 Festool purchases. Yes glad you come from one of my live feeds onto my channel awesome 👍😄 Yes the micro systainers are the best for all our little Festool bits 👍👍😄

RPR I know what you own it’s the centotec set. I’ve always wanted one of those sets. The countersinks look amazing. I know they are a game changer 😂 It’s better to have a fancy hole cut with a quality countersink. It’s definitely something I need to pick up in the future. Sadly I want have it in t-loc sys but is something I will have to get over 😂👍😄

That’s sounds like you got 1 hell of a setup there Warren,well done. Production line well organised by the sounds of it. Just goes to prove 20 year old tool still going strong 💪. Money well spent Warren 👍😄

Thank you Warren,sounds like Sedge on the Festool live may have the answer I’m looking for then. Yes that’s exactly what it does. Drives the screw so far then beeps (very frustrating). Sounds like it could be back in use. Thank you 👍😄 I’ve only got the plastic base that come with my carvex not the base plate set so sadly that option I can’t use. Thanks for the advice much appreciated it 👍👍👍😄

Hi Mark glad it’s doing the job for you. Earning money on the carvex fix,well done can’t fault it. Yes with the fix it’s a great jigsaw. Oddly I’ve seamed to lost my lights on mine. They refuse to turn back on. 👍😄

Good point Simon 👍😄

@@markthomas5139 I forgot to add... Happy New Year!!! Nice vid with honest opinions, keep it up fella!

@ thank you so much 👍👍😄. It comments like this that keeps me making more content. Happy new year to you also 🥳🥳🥳👍

Thank you Buck 👍😄

Yes after the fix the jigsaw is good enough to use again 👍😄

Thank you Tristan hope you have on as well 👍😄

I will say I bought the TID on a sale at £280 with the new 4amp batteries when it was released. I don’t just buy Festool these tools are just for my workshop 👍

@@markthomas5139 Thank you. I love to hear it. Sometimes, people say they can't live without Festool, Maffel, etc, and buy impacts for $500, I find this behavior wrong. Skilled man gets his money not for his tools, but for his skills that adapt to any tool

@ i never started off using Festool just built to what I’ve got today. If I tool make my life easier then I buy them. The reason I invested in Festool was for the service they provide and the great dust extraction with every tool. I started off with ni-cad batteries I needed to charge overnight now they are done in minutes with lithium. I’m not going to lie I don’t get my hand saw out much but I still love a hand saw 🪚 👍😄

@@markthomas5139 Man, I love you

@ thank you 👍😄

Yeah that’s my real voice 😂👍😄

Thank you,yes that’s my plan now 👍 I do use wera bits as they last ages. No cheap but will worth the extra money. 👍😄

That’s awesome to hear. I had CT SYS dust extraction die only 4 years old. Got another now 3.5 years old hoping this one will last longer 👍

@markthomas5139 My CTSYS is getting on for 9 years old and is as good as new....though I suspect you work yours a helluva lot harder than I do mine! The CTL developed a fault with the power take off socket a couple of years back (I think I broke it). Requested a repair at 1am on a Friday night, collected next morning and back in my workshop fully working on Wednesday lunchtime. The machine was over ten years out of warranty, but the whole job cost less than £70. That's one of the reasons I love Festool....you cannot beat the quality and service👍

@ that’s amazing a baring went in my ts55 I ordered a repair at 7pm. The next morning 10am there was a knock at the door. They took my saw text me to say where it was going. Next day it was sent back to me. The best service you can have services all exclusive is the best about 👍👍👍😄

Thank you so much,much appreciated morbidangel. You will get there it all takes time. My plan is to start selling tables and so on. Will see how it goes and will see what sort of interest I get. Resin tables take a good few hours to make mind but if the price is right then it is worth doing it 👍😄 Thanks again 👍

@markthomas5139 Credit where credit is due. I started 2yrs ago, on my balcony, little projects, saving a few quid here and there, then building got condemned and been in temp housing with no access to workspace, a month ago we got our new house so starting again..

I’ve owned Bosch professional jigsaw in the past and it was great. Festool carvex is also a great jigsaw after the blade fix 👍

I haven’t bought any Mafell tools yet,but I’m going to lie I’ve here’d great things about them Keith 👍😄

It’s rebranded Metabo.

@@dusanmilojevic3017 Not the top of the ranch Mafell. It is the class leader. Totally different, no roller guide and a special Mafell blade. It will take standard blades also. Roger Bisby and Robin Clevitt did a very good demo.

Thank you buddy 👍😄

Hi Duke I haven’t had the pleasure to use the Lamello but I do own the DF500 which I enjoy using. As you have the big brother I think you can’t go wrong DF500 as you already have XL. If you want to spend the extra money or if you do loads of bedroom furniture then the Lamello is good for that sort of work 👍

I'm so pissed. There was a Lamello on FB Marketplace for 350$ that I balked on because I figured it MUST have some issues.

Oh thank you, I’m going to try the bit set with holder out. Looks like the problem is me then. I will check out your video on th TID. Thank you for the advice 👍😄

Thanks Garry I will try your tips out as I don’t want to get rid of them. I think I’m just getting annoyed when I trying to use them in work. I’m going to buy the the Festool extension bit set to try out your tip. I love the feel of the TID in hand so I’ve got to give it a chance 👍😄

@ brilliant I hope it works out 👍

@ thank you I will be ordering the bit set to get my TID back in action 👍😄

I will agree with the jigsaw. I have done the fix 3 years ago but I'm having issues with it cutting 90 degrees. I know you have to set the screw at the back but you have to do it every time you change the blade. This is a pain!

@ sadly that’s a right pain for you mate. I must be lucky not to be doing that after every blade change 👍

Honestly I want offload my drywall gun I’m still keeping it. It’s probably just me how I don’t get on with my TID. Glad you don’t have any issues with yours 👍😄

Nice to see you Michael!! Thank you 👍😄

Yes sadly these 3 I don’t get on with but everything else is in a different league to be honest. Anything to do with woodworking with Festool is right up there. I’ve learned my lesson so will stick with Milwaukee,Makita and so on for my general building works. Festool all the way with dust extraction for my woodworking 👍😄 Thank for the comment mind 👍

Thanks Sam 👍😄
