Bremon Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 It's out now and priced similarly to the M18 Fuel. Seems decent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 The XR 20v 7.25" is already on the market in Canada ?. Of course we get stuff I don't want early? Lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to be cutting a lot of I-joists, you won't regret picking up one of the Flex Volt 7 1/4s for the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want more power I can add a 60v batt but for the time being I can use the batts I already have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Just now, overanalyze said: If I want more power I can add a 60v batt. Solves voltage drop to an extent but still won't get you FlexVolt muscle if the 9.0 on a 2731 is a benchmark to go off of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, actually unbelievable run time. Right now the only Flexvolt tool I have is the circ and it is beautiful. I also bought the Flexvolt 20v hammer impact kit but that doesn't count. Just got me two 60v batts and two rapid chargers ✌️ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sitting right inside the front door near the pro desk. Meanwhile at the local tool sale I picked up the same drill and impact in a hard case with a pair of 5.0 batteries for the same price. I am still not sure which is a better deal, considering I have the 20V string trimmer, both blowers and the 7 1/4" miter saw, so I am pretty happy with what I have that might need the bigger batteries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, I really want to get the string trimmer. I do have the hedge trimmer and used a 60v pack on it and the battery never showed signs of use when I was done. Still full charge status on the battery! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 FlexVolt 9.0ah is just the beginning. There will be a 12.0ah and a 15.0ah. So much potential energy with FlexVolt.Also, yes, the FlexVolt table saw had to be released in a smaller blade format due to safety rules. The table size has to be a certain size dependant on blade size. DeWalt's needed more time to develop the bigger saw. The 6.0ah batteries were all that was readily available and they wouldn't cut it in the 10" saw.This safety regulation is also why the Metabo cordless table saw is just a concept still. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Wednesday we might add another M brand to this list ?. The potential with FlexVolt really is ridiculous. Imagine the power and runtime you can get on a tool with 432 or 540 watt hours in the batteries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also announce things for more than a year out without a working unit. Companies have done that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that...but for my use I don't need that. 90% of my cordless cutting can be done by the 20v saw..probably more like 95%. For that 5% it falls short I can get out my old trusty Skilsaw worm drive. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
