Deceit
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
Memo to self....check out the overlocker and sewing machine.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

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!
