didnt want to start a new thread,but thought id give a few impressions on a good tool i recently bought this festool c12 off craigslist, it was pretty new condition works great, but just monday after installing all the cabs i needed to secure the filler for the top crown and remembered the c12!! What great control and power the right angle ttachment saved me at least 30 min of fussing with plastic shelf clips to remove and reset all the shelves

I love my C-12.
It is like 4 drills in one package.
The bit holder also rocks!!!

The solid state controls in it give you way better control over what you are doing.
I use my 90 chuck at least 5 times a week.

Warner did you watch this old house about a week ago, he set up the kapex in the room ,but he was hanging some snap on cheap crown, kapex looked good to bad, its prone to problems with grindage and lasers

Just wait, they are coming out with the C-15.

Same functionally as the T-15's but, with the d-shaped handle.

I am saving my quarters daily for that one.

Dont you get annoyed with changeing the head to suit what your doing? That would annoy me. I use the Makita LXT angle driver for drilling and impact wrench for screwing and either my spare impact wrench or drilldriver to countersink/Forstner when doing that. It's a great idea if your doing one task for a while then need to change as it keeps you from having multiple tools.

I was laughing about that but, I used it the other day to install some foam trim.

I'm not sure what the grinding is, maybe the table and the miter scale?
Mint makes a little metal gliding sound when swinging the table around.
It has the tightest table of any saw I have used. Which in turn makes it the very accurate when you set it to your degree. I think if you want to split hairs you can get it pretty spot on to 1/4 degree.

The lasers.......

It seems the right one is the one that moves around on most peoples saws. Lots of guys buy them and never take them out of their garage or shop so they don't have the issue.

I think it is a damn shame to buy a saw like that and not travel with it.
It is light, compact, and very easy to carry. I still can't believe how little room it takes up.

Oh, the lasers......

I had trouble adjusting them, they are complicated. There is 3 way adjustment for each one. They are spring loaded from each side, kind of wedges them in place. Really stiff springs, don't ask how I know.

My right laser takes a few times of adjusting and moving the saw before it seats. Now if I have to adjust the laser I just tap on the handle above the laser once or twice and that will move it, if it wants to wiggle a bit.

For the last 2 months, and having been hauled around about half of that time (in the burban or trailer), I have not had to adjust the lasers.


It is a way different saw then what is out there and I am still learning little tricks with it each time I use it.

Sorry, that was long winded.

To be honest i really didnt want the d handle at first, but now i like it, is there any other benefit to having the D-handle?

BC i have all the Lxt makitas including the right angle impact, but when boring holes or drilling face frames in maple,oak,alder cabinets to add a filler to the top i find the c12 you can hold the straightest and has plenty of power !! i used to do it with the impacts but its harder to drill in a straight line!

Not at all, it takes a second to do. In all honesty, it is probably quicker than switching drills.


That and all the different chucks, drill, 2 battery's and the charger fit in the smallest drill case you have ever seen. I have a bunch of other things tucken in there as well.

I think there is 16 different positions you can do with the 90.
The 1/2" key less chuck just pops right off with the pull of the collar.

I think it has a lot to do with ergonomics.
Seems you are really concentrating your force right where it matters.

I think you can hold it in other positions as well.
Just like drilling those holes, looks like an awkward position but, it is really easy to control.

I find alot of people who are expierencing problems are starting to whack the saws alittle and just living with the problems, If the kapex would be a $500-600 dollar saw its easy to leave in the truck or trailor let it bounce around, @ 1300 ahhh id be returning it every issue i had for a new one! they would do away with the warranty and customer service if i was to purchase one..LOL

All I see is another picture of your drill!!

The kapex goes in the room I am working on.
I just put together a sys 1 with 3 blades for the saw, crown stops, hold down knobs and a drop cloth. All the things I need for that saw can be put in there. I have my cleaning wands set in the holder on the handle.
Takes 5 minutes to pack the saw up, roll up the drop cloth and do a quick sweep of the vicinity (some times I skip the last step).

Totally worth it.

Oh, it got about a 1/2" of snow today, the saw.
I forgot I left it sit out, whoops.
