When I sold my company, one of the tools dear to me was the Fein
MultiTool.
Got an e-mail ad from Woodcraft today. Fein set for $399. But Wait!!
There's More!! You also get Over $560 in Accessories!!
They must be feeling the pain.
Reason number 4 why I like the Fein I bought lo these many years ago
is that extra long cord.
Good point. Some years back, I bought a spool of zip cord. I use it to add
about twenty feet to almost all my power tools, vacuum and shop cleaners,
etc.
Why didn't I think of that! (SMACKS FOREHEAD!!)

I DID think of that but took it one step further. I installed a
connector so if I didn't need all of the length, I could just
disconnect the added cord and still use the cord that came with the
tool straight into the receptacle. That longer cord is also usable
with other tools. Pretty clever, eh?
They call these "extension cords" I saw them at Home Depot.

I got the 100' 12ga orange jobby at eBay for $45, delivered. It's good
for anything up to and including the table saur.
