My only real complaint is there isn't a clip anywhere to store another bit, and the bit isn't a combo dual-ended bit either, so the flathead and P1/P0 philips bits we have to carry around invariably get misplaced.Note: Apparently Black + Decker changed this same Li2000 model from "Type 2" to "Type 3". This new "Type 3" appears to be slightly lighter, and the charging plug is now larger, with a little metal piece to keep it snug. I never noticed the "Type 2" version charger plug to not be perfectly snug, so not sure why this change was made - it does make it annoying that our shop now has 8 of these, and the new 3 have different charging plugs :/
you guys are after my own heart when i buy a tool i tell my wife its a treat to myself she asks me "dont you have enough treats to yourself? i get into trouble on where to keep it all !
I owned a Hilti rotary laser for several years and didn’t know it could do inclines until some one showed me🤔😃 perhaps i should of read the manual 😂 Do us tradies ever…
I used my prybar for years. You had to keep just the right pressure on it when you got the height you wanted. Now that I work a desk job, I bought an airwedge the says 'not to be used for forcible entry' to force a door. It is also useful for hanging doors.
@@TheMatadrum That's the first place I ever saw them used probably 30 years ago. I thought it was humorous that there was an explicit statement on them 'banning' me from using it for the exact reason they were made and I was buying it. As soon as I got it home I shoved it the the reveal of my shop door and slipped the latch with a traveler hook.
I run the mafell KSS400 with small solid track i bought the flex frack which is fantastic for shortish cuts such as trimmed doors etc. Added Bosch solid trachs (same as mafell but cheaper ) and a 600mm short track makes this set up a complete system! Really hard to beat. Cross cut saw, standard circular saw, door trimmer long bevel cuts for closing stile on doors. And a panel saw add the bench dogs rail square and you've got a really good multi purpose plunge/circular/cross cut saw system. Love mine and it goes on every job! Mafell expensive but by far the best.
I was thinking the same, that it’d be awesome for a mitre saw especially the ones that use 2 batteries at a time because if your setup for a full day you can have batteries on rotation but if your right next to a power point why not use the adapter. Genius product!
it's awsome I now only have to by the one tool going forward and I can use it for both corded or cordless even for those tools that you think you would never use either way like once all my batteries were flat and I had afew more concrete fixings before leaving site. I thought damn now I have to wait for a battery then I realized I can just use the cord. and then there are tool like my tablesaw where I thought who needs a battery one but I got it anyway and when I was up at my mates farm doing work on our duck shooting mimi I pulled it out put the batt in and was ripping down wet roughsawn 10x2. no longer do I by corded tools
@@SirGatras It only works for the 120v miter saw that uses 2 60v batteries. I can't believe they didn't make one for the table saw as well. My reciprocating saw needs it for doing demo work. Instead I had to buy a corded model as well.
Thank you I have been sitting sulking in Australia. Gaston and Scott you have just made my day The user guides/manuals are best soaked in oil based varnish, Dryed for a couple of days And they make terrific Fire lighters
I have known for a while what devices were shown, such as those from Germany, and I am particularly satisfied with the saws from Japan. Greetings from Germany to New Zealand
Mafell tools. As dear if not dearer than Festool. The big difference if I had the money I would buy Mafell but not Festool. Superb quality. That man and his van could send me broke. His comment you may not need it but you sure want it. I was drooling.
Gaston's showcases are actually great content. He is excellent at showing the specific details, without being pushy in any way. Seems like such a nice guy as well!
As Gaston is only a one man band, I certainly have no issues with him doing a local give away. Always interesting to see the array of goodies in the van.
I have the Metabo HPT cord adapter for the 36V system and love it for my 10" miter saw. If I need a few cuts, then the battery is great. But if I need to knock out a full project, I have the ability to do so without recharge. I can only imagine that the new plunge router is equally great. Especially helps that I read the manual :)
I work in forestry in the states. And my crew has a couple of those Silky Katana saws and they are amazing. They are modern day crosscut saws. They cut trees like butter.
Scott, if the opportunity ever arises, it would be super cool if you did a building focused episode in Japan. I don't believe builders in the Western world see much of their work.
Thank you Scott Brown for introducing us to Piranha Tools and Gaston. First knew about them in an earlier episode on SBC and have since bought a number for items from there, including my first Japanese handsaw and RZ mask. Thanks Scott!
Dear Carpenters Brothers Arround the world. I like this channel to much, I’m carpenter and own the Mafell mt55cc, mafell p1cc it is the best machines i ever have purchased.

When some see mafell the know this carpenter is no joke and the jobs will be finished without a joke. My tools, Bosch professional 18v lineup Mafell Woodpeckers Wera Knipex Qbrick Tanos Hultafors tall meter ( one in a kind must have tool) Piher p1, p2, p3 p4, telescopic third hand ( mest have) Viking arm ( deserve award winning 2021) Keter folding table (very good table and price) I have many other tools but this is it for now. Greetings From holland
Wow I totally agree; all circular saws should have that little lever for the blade guard. Trying to get a cut started accurately while also holding the guard back can be very annoying and cumbersome. That lever location is much safer and more convenient.
3:00 I never ever in all my life got to a point, where I really NEED... a cable free tool. The thing that is ALWAYS there... is electricity. Yes we can make a argument about you not wanting to deal with cables... but it is not like there is no electricity available. I dislike battery driven power tools... they are usually not as strong, or long lasting then a plugged in one. Plus the batteries deteriorate and not provide as much running time as a new one, not to forget sooner or later all you can do with the battery is trash it and buy a new one.
@@MrTherbst But that "more power" is not because of the battery. It is because they use a different electrical motor and setup so it provides more power. You can take one of those "more power" battery driven tools and convert it to a corded one, not loosing any of that "more power" in the process. Just now you got rid of the aspect that holds it back... the battery.
You still need to use modern battery powered tools, they are the future. And I have built houses off generators that are awful, loud and horrible for your tool life not to mention super expensive to buy and run. Cordless is the future of almost everything, and sooner than later if we support the tools now.
@@ohshitjeffrey3741 Yeah Battery is the future, sure. At this point I am just curious for how long, since you can't recycle the batteries, they use up allot recourses to make and don't last forever. Not to mention that good batteries for your tools are far from cheap.
@@Momoka7 I still have some of the first Lithium Ion batteries for my Bosch tools that still work fine after seven or eight years. They don’t just die as often as they used to. I’m just a fan and I make more money faster with them now. But I also have Porter Cable saws from the dark ages when they were made in Jackson, Tennessee and love the power and longevity so I do agree with you as well. Cheers
As an Australian who has the mafell track saw, drill and jig saw. I highly recommend them. The jig saw is in another league. Precise, square, heavy duty. Amazing tools.
I've been wanting that Mafell cordless track saw, but also hoping Milwaukee gets their shit together and put out a track saw. I wouldn't care about the price, just annoying to have so many battery platforms.
Im a sucker for tool manuals. They don’t take that long to thumb through and you basically master the tool faster. You’d be blown away by some of the things you can do with tools that you wouldn’t know how to do it without reading instructions or watching some kind of video. Its pretty easy with the way instructions are laid out to skip all the gibberish and nonsense. Which are usually the majority of the manual. It actually somewhat confuses me why there is some kind of meme about reading instructions lol. Cheers!
Heya from West Western Australia. Love you guys and all your wonderful tips. I've learned so much. Gaston we need to read the manuals... Cheers Jules-Halo's Fixit
I know those Mafells are expensive, but Scott... they're game changers man. They're absolutely brilliant saws. I bought a KSS60 18V and I've done everything from building cabinets to framing roofs and everything in between with it. Absolutely wonderful saw.
Two inflatable wedges are a must. Once you lift the door with two it just sits there, you don't even need to hold it. Put in hinge screws at your leisure.
My favorite tools on Gaston’s show and tell are Mafell saws, Japanese saws, and the axe. Scott points outs the two features of Mafell saws that I always wished other brands had. We always love your videos when Gaston visits, Scott.
The Roofus is pretty cool, and comes in handy. Got one 2 yrs ago and do like it. The one thing though; don’t suggest using it as a circ saw cut guide like we do with the normal square; b/c it won’t turn out well for ya😉
Gaston reminds me of the cantina (food truck/mobile restaurant ) that shows up at construction sights and at car dealerships for mechanics at noon to sell food, only Gaston’s merchandise is MUUUCH MORE EXPENSIVE AND WAYYY MORE FUN! Love your reviews Scott Brown!! AWESOME!!!! p.s I blame you and Tools & Stuff for converting me to Makita, 😃😃. Ok, ok, blame you guys just for the first Makita power tool!
That tool guys enthusiasm and knowledge of the tools he sells is a rare thing to come across. Not to mention the quality gear he goes out of his way to track down.
I love the exited reactions when Gaston brings tools that we in germany just take for granted. I can't afford to buy them for myself, but at work it's normal to use Hilti, Mafell and stuff like that 😂
I wonder how things go in Chinese carpentry channels - is there a big wow for German brands or just "I prefer domestic made tools"? Then again, most tools are made in China so not difficult to choose.
Literally just bought that Pica set the green "pencils" are amazing (for tiling) the orange pen not so much IDK why but it doesn't lock into the female cap as well and falls out easy just climbing a ladder it comes loose and falls out. I haven't found a use for the white texture and the orange pen is permanent I wish they had the ink non permanent. We typically use the Artline 210 0.6mm and they aren't permanent and rub off easy.
Just bought some RZ masks from Gaston based on your recommendation. Been starting to get more serious about dust safety with that and a festool ct15 vac
The first uses of a tool by the owner are the most destructive; read the manual, locate all the parts as you read it; have the tool with you as you read.
Great work Scott, coming through loud and clear here in the uk. Just a thought - have you thought about making your UA-cam uploads longer. For me (and I’m sure 278k others) they would definitely be welcomed.
yes! truly exciting Scott its always good to see Gaston what an awesome guy and soooo many other worldly tools. that last Mafell saw was from another planet I KNOW IT !!!!!!!
Gaston reminds me of the cantina (food truck/mobile restaurant ) that shows up at construction sights and at car dealerships for mechanics at noon to sell food, only Gaston’s merchandise is MUUUCH MORE EXPENSIVE AND WAYYY MORE FUN! Love your reviews Man!! AWESOME!!!! p.s I blame you and Tools & Stuff for converting me to Makita, 😃😃. Ok, ok, blame you guys just for the first Makita power tool!
honestly Scott i can recommend the mafell tools i know in NZ they are expensive as hell but it gives you confort and safety back and with the normal saw you can do an easy plunge cut
The fact that they have a cord adapter is a good reason i will buy that router, even though i dont have any hpt tools or the fact i have 5 routers already Can never have enough routers
Scott thank you for the amazing videos. Humble suggestion, please could you do a video about the way you frame two rows of continuous nogs (is that a NZ code?). In Aus we do one staggered row. Interested to rear your thoughts. Have a great weekend!
Dwangs/nogs aren't required here for lateral bracing if you've got sheet material on either side of the wall, eg ply RAB on outside or Gib on the inside. A lot of people still put them in though and of course they're needed if you've got vertical cladding outside. That's probably why they're always continuous. Staggered blocking is quite common between joists and rafters but I haven't seen it in walls here. Older houses often have diagonal wall blocking though...
Aussie builders (back in the hand nailing days when wages were low and houses affordable) used to do the noggins in a straight row with skew nails (easier to "know" where they are later - for nailing into - if need be) then came softwood frames and nailguns - does everyone stagger their rows?? - ...
Always enjoy a Gaston episode! first thing I do after buy a new tool? Throw away all the packaging and paraphernalia that is not the tool. A cluttered jobsite is an unsafe jobsite after all.
Q is to James Bond as Gaston is to Scott Brown. Love this guy you can tell he really loves what he is selling.
😂😂
Greatness!
Utkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mummy t
Ha ha agreed
First thing to do after buying a tool? Hide the receipt and scribble 50% off on the box.
Until the missus sees the tax return 🤣
It always feels like Christmas when Gaston shows up!

My wife already told me if I buy anymore tools they'll end up as evidence at my murder trial.
@@smally8499234 You need to buy tools that have no sharp edges or percussive qualities. But that pretty much rules everything out.

We need to remix the “Gaston” song from
Beauty and the beast for this man.
To the tune:
“No one brings tools as well as Gaston..”
No one insists you real the manuals like Gaston…
I love it when Q shows up with new gadgets!
Everyone needs a friend like Gaston, and those Japanese pull saws are a work of art, I’d have them just to display on a shelf 😄
I owned a Hilti rotary laser for several years and didn’t know it could do inclines until some one showed me🤔😃 perhaps i should of read the manual 😂 Do us tradies ever…
I usually throw them away upon opening and then try and find the manual online when somethings not quite right

FYI: Mafell makes the "Bosch GKT 55 GCE" and "Metabo KT 18 LTX 66 BL" plungesaws too if you're already on a different battery platform.
Mafell definitely DON'T make the Metabo KT LTX 66BL.The Metabo saw is made in China.All Mafell saws are made in Germany.

The first uses of a tool by the owner are the most destructive; read the manual, locate all the parts as you read it; have the tool with you as you read.
Yes SB and Gaston, I really miss seeing Gaston in Queenstown!
Great work Scott, coming through loud and clear here in the uk. Just a thought - have you thought about making your UA-cam uploads longer. For me (and I’m sure 278k others) they would definitely be welcomed.
First time I seen those clamps was on finish carpentry tv. If you're doing the finish work that Richard does you know how convenient they are
if you want to keep the guard up on the saw, just wedge a pencil into the lever of the guard once it is down
Oooooh the mini toolboxes for the drill bits 😯😯😯👌👌👌👌
yes! truly exciting Scott its always good to see Gaston what an awesome guy and soooo many other worldly tools.
that last Mafell saw was from another planet I KNOW IT !!!!!!!
Come on Gaston let's see you in the UK.
I love my micro-systainers, good for cards and bits and so many other little things!
how good is Gaston!? Bloody love this bloke. Come to Melbourne!
Love the videos from Vancouver Canada!
Here in switzerland we use quite alot of maffel tools evrn in the first week as an aprentice i cuold use the kss
Please thank Gaston for all of us.
Gaston reminds me of the cantina (food truck/mobile restaurant ) that shows up at construction sights and at car dealerships for mechanics at noon to sell food, only Gaston’s merchandise is MUUUCH MORE EXPENSIVE AND WAYYY MORE FUN!
Love your reviews Man!! AWESOME!!!!
p.s I blame you and Tools & Stuff for converting me to Makita, 😃😃. Ok, ok, blame you guys just for the first Makita power tool!
I love the videos when Gaston comes to town!!
honestly Scott i can recommend the mafell tools i know in NZ they are expensive as hell but it gives you confort and safety back and with the normal saw you can do an easy plunge cut
The fact that they have a cord adapter is a good reason i will buy that router, even though i dont have any hpt tools or the fact i have 5 routers already
Can never have enough routers
Beautiful double-bit axe!
I really do wish we had a Gaston in Australia
Forgot about the rail for the kss50 when talking about what's included in the box
Scott thank you for the amazing videos. Humble suggestion, please could you do a video about the way you frame two rows of continuous nogs (is that a NZ code?). In Aus we do one staggered row. Interested to rear your thoughts. Have a great weekend!
Dwangs/nogs aren't required here for lateral bracing if you've got sheet material on either side of the wall, eg ply RAB on outside or Gib on the inside. A lot of people still put them in though and of course they're needed if you've got vertical cladding outside. That's probably why they're always continuous. Staggered blocking is quite common between joists and rafters but I haven't seen it in walls here. Older houses often have diagonal wall blocking though...
Aussie builders (back in the hand nailing days when wages were low and houses affordable) used to do the noggins in a straight row with skew nails (easier to "know" where they are later - for nailing into - if need be) then came softwood frames and nailguns - does everyone stagger their rows?? - ...
Haha I was wondering where I recognized Gaston from, then I clicked when I saw his business card, he's my highschool maths teachers husband.
Always enjoy a Gaston episode! first thing I do after buy a new tool? Throw away all the packaging and paraphernalia that is not the tool. A cluttered jobsite is an unsafe jobsite after all.
