For Christmas my wife bought me the T15-3 Festool drill.

Nice wife. Does she have an unmarried twin sister?

Not that I know of. LOL


So I really really like the drill.

Well it's true about what I said to another person who thinks that
Festool is some type of gimmick. I'm afraid I'll like a Festool drill
so much that I'll be forced to buy it. That's why I haven't actually
gone to look at any. If I did, my three other drills would get lonely.
Right now, I refuse to diss my current trusted companion drills.

Well here I am with a 12 volt Makita, a 12v Makita impact driver, a 18v
Bosch impact driver that I apparently won but it is still a secret who
the contest or drawing was with, and my new Festool. I absolutely
forgot to mention the Bosch in my list, I absolutely don't often use it.
The Bosch is probably 4 years old and I have not recharged the batteries
more than 1 or 2 times. So I guess I would place the Bosch impact drive
behind the 7 year old 12v Makita impact. Might be a feel or balance
thing. I do know that Bosch has changed the design several times since
I was awarded mine. The Makita seems to have remained the same basic
design for the last 7 years.

Why did my wife buy me a Festool drill? She said she was going to buy
me a very nice tool when I told her that I did not want any thing in
particular. I wanted to be sure I was going to like/want that very nice
tool that she chose so I gave her a hint and she said that I read her
mind.... ;~)

I did not want her her spending $500 on something I was not going to
use, after all, fifty bucks is fifty bucks! Right Swingman? LOL
