I got to spend time in my shop today and used my glide, tablesaw, my new GDX18V-1800 Freak 3.0, cordless saw, and ps32. And this morning it was cold enough that I got my heated jacket out too.

__________________my new GDX18V-1800 Freak 3.0, cordless saw,
Always nice to get some shop time. How are you liking the GDX18V-1800 Freak 3.0?
I have been using my FL12, 18V 1900 Led and PS41 while replacing my Heat Recovery Ventilator in the basement. I had some tunes playing the background from the PB120 radio.

That dog kennel/console has to be a unique deal for sure.

The shop looks good , how are you liking the newer GDX so far , slightly off topic , how you find those feather jigs.
Is that work station on wheels Charlie.This week has been a heavy Bosch tool use kind of week, lol. I think I used just about every Bosch tool I own!

Do More of What Makes You HappyIdh182 for the tires ,
The circular saw and drill for fixing the fence that blew over from the window and a few others , the blower came in handy for the garageAttachments:
Today I got to use a few Milwaukee tools that they have been buying for the production line
I have to say , pretty impressive , especially those 12 volt tools
I tell you though , the feeling is that they feel cheaper quality plastic than my BoschBut overall I’m liking them , especially that 1/4 and 3/8 inch ratchet
At home just finished using the 4100 and the dust extractor hooked up to it plus my blower ,
The glide mitre made me happy to have it today. No lack of power there.

I don't do a fast job. I don't do a slow job. I do a half fast job.
@boschmanbrian @gtokley I’ve been really liking the new Freak. It’s got a much shorter head and seems to run a bit quieter, which are both nice. I hate the light being down by the battery though – I always prefer to have it in line with the chuck, but that seems to be one of the main ways they cut length from the body. I haven’t really noticed a huge difference in power vs my older IDH182, but I haven’t really done anything that would push it too hard yet. It may have had a slightly easier time sinking some tapcons last week, but that’s about it.

Thanks for the update. Glad you are liking it. It running quieter would be nice. I could see the led light being moved now by battery would be a pita
. I wonder why they changed the location of it.Greg

Thanks Charlie
I will probably upgrade it later this year or next year
The only thing I wish was like you mentioned , I’m really liking the 3 lights around the head/chuck
I got use to it , it really lights up the areaI’ve used a bunch of blue tools over the past few days, a lot of my OMT either cutting out sections of rotted deck railing or shaping the edge of a recessed space in the floor of the bathroom I’m renovating so I can fill the void. It was great for demo too – cut through a bunch of caulking!

(and also the World's Fastest Poster)Yesterday I used my Socket Ready (Freak) impact to put the winter tires on the van & rotate the tires on my truck. I also used my PS41 put up Christmas lights. Both tool make these jobs go smooth.

Gave the Bosch Air Hammer 18 ga nail gun a bit of a work out today. The hammer got stuck in the down positions a few times. I think it’s because it has sat around for a while. I am feeding it lots of air tool oil until everything gets used to working and it breaks in. I even took it apart and gave all the guts a good bit of air tool oil. I think it will be OK with a bit of use.
The 1900N light helped a lot today too. Particularly when I had to shut the breaker off to the bedroom to change some electrical outlets.
