Came home from my whirl wind tour to Xmas in summer.
Presents from Uncle Bob, SMC hats and the parts for my Nail Gun all arrived today.
I must have been very good. :rolleyes: Now I am an official Tool Snob and member of the club :p.

Thanks Uncle Bob! ;)

Hi Tyler,

congrats on your new tools and welcome to the club. I also expect "Christkind" (who I still prefer over Santa) to stop by soon.
BTW, I wonder if coffee tastes different in this Festool cup.

Regards,

Christian

Tyler-

Congrats!!! Good choices. Missed you on the many threads now for a while.

Christian-

The coffee won't taste much different, but it won't have any sawdust in it, either.

SNOB - One who affects an offensive air of self-satisfied superiority in matters of taste or intellect.


I think It's more

Class - A social stratum whose members share certain economic, social, or cultural characteristics


One of these Days I have to get me one those Green Colored Cultural Characteristics.

Hey, congrats there, Buddy and welcome to the "club"! :D Everyone tells me the Rotex is the cat's meow and I know you'll love the jigsaw from personal experience! Great choices! :) Don't think I even have to tell you to "have fun"! :cool:

Great coffee mug! I would love to get one of those. :D

Oh yes, the tools are probably OK too. ;)

Tyler,
I hope you realize that those new tools have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. After buying those tools, do you still have enough money to run a power line to your shop? Just a thought. I didn't mean to spoil your party. ;)

Nice Stuff, guy!

Hey Tyler:

Very nice Job, I have the same sander here in the shop. I also bought the vacuum to go along with it. When I bought it and snuck it into the shop, I thought what did I do. Lots of money but now that I have it I do not know what I ever did without it. Have not used the belt sander since. You are going to love that sander. Was going to buy the drill package this fall but am going to buy a new router and router lift instead. As soon as it cools off here in the south west, I am going to start a new router table as one of my first projects.

Mark, you are stitch! :D Talk about subtleness! :eek: Tyler, watch out....You're being watched! Very, VERY closely! :p Quick, make some sawdust, get the glue and clamps out and post a picture of a project. *ANY* project. A table, a desk, picture frame, drawer....Aw heck, a small step stool! Anything! :D :cool:

Re the "Uncle Sam" ($). Consider yourself lucky to be paying US prices. Buying the tools in Canada costs me at least 20% more -customs brokerage, higher taxes, and higher shiiping charges.

And, I see from their WEB site, that things are even worse in Australia.
