I'm going to get another 9700XL to hang my center two toms and center crash cymbal off of it. all the tubes are 1 size up from the reg 9700, so I can take the top 1 off of the XL and put it on the bottom of the 9700 (will use that as ride stand) and top 2 from the 9700 can pair with the bottom 2 of the XL.

    I also discovered that...like all other DW9000 stuff, its totally geared around FAST setup and break down - so these stands I take boom end off, middle out, bottom by itself. Seems weird to take the stand apart, but with the way they have these locks designed, its 3 times faster of a setup, no missing how its configured either.

    again very happy with DW gear....expensive but the ease of setup/breakdown, sturdiness, configurability is second to none.

    always winds up being things I dont like about the cheaper stuff, I'd rather spend an extra few bucks and be many bucks more happy with the product

    Ryobi is not "cheaper stuff".

    good to know, never knew anyone that used it so I didnt have much reference there (I wasnt necessarily referring to ryobi as cheaper stuff )

    The Ryobi stuff is fine for home use, plus you can buy "tool" only and save some money after you have a couple batteries and charger.

    Ive built 150 foot of fencing with a Ryobi drill.. that thing is just getting broken in. Dewalt is nice too, but pricey!

    i agree with that , you won't be using it everyday on a site so over here that brand is a good diy piece of kit , dewalt or mikita's are also good imo

    Yes power cord, rechargable battery. Bluetooth connectivity and AUX. USB charging ports . And there is a Groupon for a manufacturer refurb for $99. I figured it's perfect for the island so if someone wants to drag it out to the deck they don't have to run power. Pretty neat little box.
    They make about 20 different models each with different features so make sure if you're shopping for one you get the exact model number with the features you're after. The model I bought you can buy two and wirelessly link them to create Stereo via bluetooth when streaming from your phone.

    A fucking house It's scary easy to go to the lawyer, sign the final papers, go to the bank and have them transfer your life savings to a complete stranger

    I was wondering where that money that appeared in my account came from. Thanks! I'll sent the gingerbread house in the mail tomorrow.
