      Hey @Aetas  that jigsaw is somewhere in the stack behind me as well  🙂

      Out of the systainers in the pic actual festools included a rotex 125, cordless drywall gun, cxs Li 1.3 cordless drills, and a bunch of misc. hand tools, accessories, abrasives & bits.

      But the main work horses that come along on almost every interior job are two CT HEPA dust extractors. One is usually hooked up to a track/table/miter saw and a mini HEPA used with various rotex & ets sanders.

        I am extremely pleased with this $25 Harbor Freight saws-all I got. I was surprised by how powerful it is! I got it to cut my old sofa up into manageable pieces since I don't have any help. Of it was any cheaper they'd be giving them away for free. The pack of blades was almost as much as the saw  😃 I should have gotten the cuff off grinder while I was there too.

          My experiences with Harbor Freight tools have been that they are either amazingly solid for the price, or they are cheap in every sense of the word and break almost immediately. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell which it will be until you're knee deep in the project.

            @motojobobo:

            @Aetas , is the IH roll case available for purchase?

            Haraki only made 21 and I think they'll all be staying in Japan I am afraid….

            I guess this hasn't changed?

                      Anyone else gone down there Japanese hand tool rabbit hole? Really enjoy working with my nepros and koken tools when I can. The snap on stuff just feels clunky and awkward in comparison.

                            Their ratchets and sockets are so incredibly nice. The mirror finish is not unlike a good art piece. The koken stuff is a bit more designed for functionality imo and I like their action and handling a bit more. Especially how they design the ratchets for ultra low back drag.

                              How about PB Swiss? They make lovely hand tools.

                                  I'm a bit of an unabashed tool whore. One of my many hobbies is building fine bamboo fly fishing rods which requires absolute precision.

                                      @Jcaz6996 is that a Martinez I spot? I’ve been thinking about buying one myself for a while now, do you think it justifies its price?

                                        Don’t know why but I bought Two 😆
