How many guns can a "Loneframer" use at once? Or is there a secret Tonto who gets to use the 3rd paslode framer?

And where's the 18g paslode brad gun? I hear it doubles the value if you have a complete set! Right now, I can't look past the giant hole in the collection. How unimpressive...

I was hoping noone would notice the lack of an 18 ga. Impulse, dammit.
Did you notice the second and third framers have reversed belt hooks? Loneframer to the fullest! I don't have a tribe of Indians anymore, but when things pick up, I am armed for an attack I'm working on the 18 ga. to complete the set, maybe when I get that refund from the US treasury.

So I'm still spec'ing-out/pricing-out my equipment, but my list will include:

Hi
I am considering purchasing the Festool you mentioned TS 55 or the larger one, which one is better for home remodeling?

Thanks

I am considering a new TS 55 or the larger one, will be using it for my home remodeling business. Any suggestions?

If you are considering a rail saw, also consider the Dewalt and Makita versions. You will probably find it a lot easier to find blades with those two compared to the Festool.

m1911

Not necessarily so - the Festool TS55 uses a 160mm x 20mm arbor blade and the Dewalt and Makita use a 165mm x 20mm arbor blade. I don't think any of them is as cheap or common as a standard 7 1/4" blade.

DeWalt (& probably others) makes an impact driver keyless chuck. It fits perfectly in the case & eliminates need for a drill along side the impact. Impacts don't make great drills, but for most jobs they will suffice.
Well worth the money:

I drill with my impact all the time.

I wish that my right angle drill was also an impact. Impact drivers do paddle bits great & they don't burn bits! However, I have gone through a number of magnetic drive guides (metal & plastic sleeves alike). If I let a screw spin out too long the pieces meld together & I can never get them loose again.
I've been stocking up on them cheap from Ebay lately:
