You lucky so and so. I picked up one yesterday....delivered to the store by Fedex in Dec 2008.... would you believe. The box was trashed even with the electronic gizmo attached. Was the last one,...

Hi Derrell, have you checked with WaltQ at BrassCityRecords. He deals in 'new old tools' and may have something. I got my MF #2 from him sometime back. He has lots of stuff and lots of knowledge....

The Makita 10.8 V at HD, $139 is a great deal, drill driver + impact + case = pretty good. Good reviews, light weight, powerful.

It filters the air between the compressor and...

Enjoy.

+1, Ridgid sent me missing end-caps for my TS....only question was ......
