I was in the market for a new ROS and I saw the Metabo catologue in which there was a new ROS with 3 degree and 6 degree mode for rapid sanding at $ 375.00. I went out armed with my water cooled VISA to look at same and came home with a $590.00 Festool RO 150 Rotex which I must admit is a beautiful piece of machinery.
Problem........wife, how do I explain the new tool?
No problem, she thinks it is the Metabo angle grinder which I have had for 10 years http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif
Memo to self....check out the overlocker and sewing machine.

Just make sure you get the mail when the visa account arrives, cause if she's like my wife, nothing ges un-noticed. Rod

Thanks Rod, I do. Just looked at your profile and it evoked some dreadful memories of when I was firefighting with a local conservation department, we used to dry fight with rake hoes. I am sure you know them and I would give anything to spend 15 minutes with the B#@*&*D who invented it!

Bloody hard work on a stick.

1 minute would do me.
