i have no use for it actually, i have my bosch ts 4000 which doesnt get used very often lately as is.. if i were to buy a new table saw id probalby buy a smaller model for storage and transport reasons

the tantallon store is about 20 minutes from me. i have been driving out that way alot this year for work but never stop in there. i have seen the reaxx saw in another location back in early spring but i think it was regular priced still

i do believe cyber monday stuff is allowed. keep in mind the tread does get shutdown within a day or 2 after cyber monday as it has passed

not sure if the laser works in water, something tells me no because the beam will get broken up.

i know 2 years ago i set up my new laser level outside when there was heavy mist, the beam turned into a fan like effect from the droplets in the air

has there been any sightings or news regarding the bosch track saw, wasnt it supposed to be out back in september

honestly im not too sure be the pro is too high on the priority list for the higher ups at bosch, their resources are probably being spent elswhere such as events and even over at instagram. dont quote me on this however

myself and a handful of other long term members date back to the very early days, such as redwood, dan pattison. im not…[Read more]

the acceloromater on teh grinder is a cool feature.. however the saftey on the paddle style triggers on grinders no matter what the make i find is very susceptible to damage.. we have a hilti at work which has that type of trigger.. the saftery is broken which allows the trigger to simply be engaged you dont need both..

though im not really a fan…[Read more]

the bosch is very nice i have one myself.. i would say its better for everyday where or someone in office who treks out to the jobsite as opposed to a worker

the milwaukee jackets are pretty much the staple for heated work wear, plus they have multiple items.. jackets, sweaters, vests, etc

dewalt has theirs.. they look like cheap work…[Read more]

i have a feeling they do sell them individually.. its just a matter of finding a retailer that stocks them. that can be tricky… milwaukee owns a ton os shelf space at home depot and even pro tool shops.. same goes for dewalt

top notch gave the best advice.. i recently had someone looking for some exterior finish work to be done which included 2 entry doors to be replaced… i simplyo told them my scheudle is just far to busy at the moment to take it on, for this reason i would not be able to complete it in a timely manner

i have zero input regarding lowes… they dont physically exist here in nova scotia yet though they do own rona..

one thing i will say about rona however is im dissappointed with them now, they bought out my local lumber yard in 2006 which wasnt a very big deal, it was mainly just a name change, all the same staff stayed on. rona was where…[Read more]

that saw looks much more streamlined in shape compared to the cs18v, im very curious as to what sort of timeline bosch has regarding its release date in north america.

reason for saying this is how i havent seen the track saw listed anywhere yet in any stores yet it was expected to be released back in september

as one of the longest tenured members here as well as one of the moderators… i will attest that many people did actually leave when the points system changed. they didnt technically shut down their accounts that im aware of they simply went dorment

from what i understand the point system was changed because it was believed have changed do to…[Read more]

bosch doesnt seem to be big into marketing their tools. i do remember years ago seeing the odd print ad in magazines.. as for tool reps the local guy is a ghost. yet you walk into home depot and the milwaukee reps are in one specific location daily and then weekly in teh other not to mention in teh pro tool houses every few days. dewalt use to…[Read more]

i got a message thanking me for helping promoe the freaking eh contest via the canadian ig accountt for bosch… sounds like they got quite a few entries hoepfully enough that they could pick throughthe best entries instead of just issuing a prize to those that enterd

last night i walked into rona to see the bosch 12v impact driver bare tool on the clearance table for $27 down from 109.. picked it up prett quick

the multivolt platform was unofficially announced back in the summer,, it will perform similar to dewalts flexvolt excpept that they will have a ac/dc adapter pack which allows cordless tools the ability to plug in

I started a battery and charger interoperability thread so the track saw discussion can get back on track.

Good move.
I wonder if Bosch has put any of the track saws and tracks into the US tradesmens hands so they can have reviews ready for the release of the tools?

gary katz recieved one back in like…[Read more]

i dont think the new generation of fast chargers shorten battery life.. i know the dewalt xrp batteries were known for having that issue..

battery wise i have 4 cores 3 4.0s 2 2.0s and a 1.5 so im good for a bit
