    I'm interested in the offset chuck. I've only seen those available from Festool or non-US Milwaukee set ups.

    Thanks much, I looked at those but I noticed they didn't include the offset chuck and being sold from S Korea, I'd need to then buy a US 110v charger. I just might go that way anyway and buy the offset chuck from Europe.

    Are these better made then all the interchangeable stuff made before like drill powered skilsaw, sander, jigsaw. Even my delta contractor saw/jointer was not very good. I think this kind of multitool was popular in the 40's and 50's.
    My take is the alignment of the motor to the transmission shaft is not very accurate or repeatable so there is a lot of room for misalinment and the resulting orbiting eccentric forces. A motor and a simple water pump should to be parallel and concentric within less then 5/1000" for good lifetimes.

    Time to give back to this great forum and to the members where I have gotten valuable info. You can preorder the 12v bosch flexiclick on amazon right now for $199.95 and I believe they give you a $10 gift card at the time to be applied to the order while supplies last. Just ordered mine

    I have the older Festool 12v with all the trimmings and I have a chuck similar to the top "silver" one in your photo for it. It allows drilling/driving really close to something.

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

    That figures...............I contacted Bosch 2 weeks ago about availability. They sent a reply stating that they had no information on whether or if it would be available for the US, so just yesterday I received my Festool T18 set, and then saw this today. Timing is everything.
