  1. The impact doesn't look THAT much smaller than the 20/18v. I do find myself in need of a tiny drill sometimes though, and I find the right angle drill to be unwieldy. I hope that chuck isn't plastic...
  2. Those gen 3s might be heating up because of the higher current of the HD batteries too. Don't know enough about them, but the science would back that up.
  3. I am pretty sure they are m3.
  4. For me it was pretty easy. I use DeWalt because my dad uses DeWalt.
  5. Inserts that will help keep my power tools organized. Not that foam garbage.
  6. Considering your degree, I would assume your working knowledge is greater than mine, but ignoring losses due to heat seems like it wrecks the analysis. Energy loss due to heat is energy that isn't doing work, and higher amperage is what causes that heat loss. So with higher voltage, you can use less amperage, which means less energy loss due to heat, which means more of that energy is going towards doing work. To me, it's not about a bigger tank, it's about not having a fuel leak. All that is to say that higher voltage tools can push themselves harder without hemorrhaging power. But again, I defer to your expertise.
  7. I am really interested in the new sledge hammers. They look destructive.
  8. It's a brushless compact 1/2 inch according to the post I saw this picture in. But I don't know for sure.
  9. I don't think so. I think it is just today. I look forward to being proven wrong though. Some rumoured stuff missing.

    1/2" Impacts

    Brushless compact and mid torque impacts next to the full sized version. (photo credit: toolboxbuzz) Not sure of specs....
  11. Just saw on another feed: DCS 570 and DCS 575 have a rafter hook added. Couldn't get a good screen shot. Sorry gentlemen
  12. I'd be interested to see if this comes in less expensive than the Rocket Light.
