When you are "replacing" tools, how are you getting rid of them? Where do you sell old power tools? Or, if they're just wrecked, how do you dispose of them? I'd like to "replace" some of my tools with more Festool!
Great question!! 7/10 times I sell them on Facebook Marketplace and if the price is reasonable they sell quite quickly. The other 3/10 is me generally just keeping them until a neighbour or friend could make use of it, then I just give it to them. I haven’t had to really throw anything of note into the garbage.
Nice!!! The ETS 150 is absolutely wild. Can’t believe how much better it is than any other random orbit sander I’ve used. KSC 60 looks very impressive and has amazing cut capacity for a smaller saw! I don’t need the portability so the Kapex 120 is likely going to end up in my shop in the mid-future.
Nice pick-ups 👍 I have an unhealthy addiction to german tools myself. I've had my Festool domino and sanders for a while now, but last year, I too went down the rabbit hole of Wera and Knipex with a sprinkle of Wiha added in for good measure :) I really appreciate quality tools and all these brands make stuff that is a pleasure to work with. I found sales from time to time and I think the best deals I got were on some Wera stuff from Federated Tool in London.
Haha! I seem to be following down the path that you have so graciously paved. Good note on Federated Tool - I’m in London and haven’t been there for a few years!
@@MasonWoodshop I'm not sure why, but they had the Wera 2Go bags for SUPER cheap last year so I bought one of them plus a bunch of add-ons after watching those every-day carry videos myself, lol. Nice bags, but i don't love them as I don't think their super efficient. They look awesome though! So now I use them only for my electrical + networking stuff and for that they are aces.
That’s sweet! I often see some great Wera deals with Ultimate Tools out West, but shipping often kills those deals. Federated seems to have the same steep discounts on certain items and I can easily swing over there. Like you, I have whole sets of networking and electrical tools that are in need of a home. I use them maybe 1-2 times per month so I’m thinking about going with some Systainer storage to keep them shielded from my dusty and sometimes humid laundry room.
LOL, the new mini Systainer with Wago connectors (potentially EU only) with mini Systainer dock/port has me tempted to use that for networking and electrical consumables.
Last year? I got the csc sys 50 set and a cxs 18 set So far this year, I just got the little 3” makita cut off grinder, which is kind of fun There’s an 8.0ah festool battery that’s in Europe now, I’m hoping that will come to the United States soon.
The DeWalt air guns are rated well and will do a good job. However be careful on which DeWalt tools you buy when it comes time to repair them. Many when replacing something as simple as a finger switch you will have to buy the complete guts of the tool which cost almost as much as buying a new one. More people should let DeWalt know to change this.
Totally! Great tools but repairs can be rough. I’ve had to take a DeWalt tripod light in for warranty 3 times (plastic hinges are a bad idea). My other DeWalt tools have faired well, so I’m hopeful that by taking care of these nailers they won’t run into any major issues.
For the most part you cannot avoid buying foreign made tools, so you would be better off buying good quality. You can seldom go wrong with German made - even though they are over priced.
I like all the buys except for the dewalt nailers. My dad has the dewalt, my buddy has the ryobi and i bought the milwaukees. Neither are even close to the milwaukee nailers. The dewalt and ryobi both have a ramp up before shooting the nails the milwaukees do not. Theyre practically childs toys compared to the milwaukee line of cordless nailers.
Thanks for sharing! I had the Ryobi brad nailer a while back and it kept jamming on me so I ended up returning it. All of my non-Festool battery tools are DeWalt, so I ended up going that way and so far I haven't had any issues with them. Let's hope that continues!
Don't listen to this idiot Milwaukee had to come out with a gen 2 nailers sucked so bad and if these nailers lose air every time you use them eventually you have to get them refilled
More my speed. I'm sick of people commenting about someone's tool choices. There's always a bunch of comments saying they want to build fine furniture with a flat head screwdriver, a Ryobi circular saw, drywall screws, and a dollar tree tape measure.

Nothing but awesome Adult toys!! Love love all of those toys
The hex key sets are all I used at work for years. Assembling scales and large scale printing machines.
Another awesome video Cole!
I'm so jealous 😂
Haha, I have a very understanding wife.

@@MasonWoodshop Awesome. Thanks for the insight!
I have the DeWalt 5 in 1 drill and I use it more than I would have thought.
Nice!! These sorts or drill/drivers are so versatile.
Got the festool KSC 60 and ETS 150/5 recently. It's been great.

My Domino, 10+ years old now? Is up there in cost for sure, but by far the most used excpet for my table saw. No regrets!
That’s great to hear! I played around with it a bit today and can’t wait to tackle my first project with it.
Being able to dry fit the project is the best part.

I’ve had Wera T-handle Allen keys in metric and imperial for about a year and have been extremely happy with the quality. Enjoy!
Thanks Gary!
Last year?
I got the csc sys 50 set and a cxs 18 set
So far this year, I just got the little 3” makita cut off grinder, which is kind of fun
There’s an 8.0ah festool battery that’s in Europe now, I’m hoping that will come to the United States soon.
Nice!!! The 8.0ah battery does look quite interesting. Slightly different form factor but that capacity is sweet!
Hello from Vancouver Island 🏝️
Howdy!
Now you need to buy TSO Products to your festools 😁🤣👌
Haha! Already have the big set of TSO parallels guides for my track saw and just took delivery of the TSO Bigfoot for my Domino. Love their products!
Get German steel while you still can. Knipex, Wera are excellent.

Totally agree on them being great quality but at a premium price. If they were 20-30% less expensive, I think that’d be fair.
