LOL @Tony would know better than to ask this question so soon!!

 

[woodtickgreg]

If it was me that would drive me nuts! I'd at least have to take the box off to play with it a little, lol.
I know when mine comes its going to drive me crazy because I can't get it into my basement shop until I sell the old one and get it out of the way. Still no word on mine, maybe end of this month.

I cranked my Ridgid able saw up today for the first time. I’m really pleased.

 

[woodtickgreg]

Mine came in today!

 

[woodtickgreg]

and it's sitting in the garage waiting for a space to be cleared out in the shop

When you finally get around to setting this saw up please do a thorough review of it in the tool review section. This is not a real common saw yet and folks could use your input to help with their decision on purchasing a saw. As you put it together and use it list what you like and don't like.

I can't wait to see the full review in the power tool section!

To wait a year and half to play with a new toy takes some world class self-restraint. Kind of like when you place a biscuit on your dog's nose and make him wait until you count to three to flip it into his mouth.

Well then, I'm universe class because I have a brand new in the box, only opened to get instructions out, $1700 knife grinder. Still in the box

oh yeah and I was watching the Astros!!

 

[JerseyHighlander]

I can make you open them...
What if there is some manufacturing defect or shipping damage and you're warrantee is ticking away without you even knowing about it?

That’s a valid concern. I bought a new Jet Air Filtration System about a year ago. Recently took it out of the box, and it didn’t work! Fortunately, it is still under warranty, and I took it into their local servicing center. Also bought a new DeWalt bench top planer that is still in the box. I bought both of these on great sales, but I am in the midst of building my workshop, so I‘ve had no place to set them up to run. Chuck

If you're having withdrawals from having an unopened tool around, I saw Harvey is having a Black Friday sale on their bandsaw.

 

[Wildthings]

Well it's up and running and very happy with it. It's ok Henry, I still have my 7-year-old knife grinder still in the box!

It looks like a great piece of kit. I chose their miter gauge as my upgrade, and been quite impressed.

As for the knife grinder, just drop it in the mail and I'll get it opened and fully set up for you - then all you have to do is come use it whenever you want. No muss, no fuss.
