Wondering what everyone here thinks of it, really thinking about getting one and would like some input, thanks

I believe the 2ah battery uses Samsung 20r cells but not sure what cells the 3ah is using... Would the 3ah provide some extra power over the 2ah? I'm guessing the 3ah might be using 30q cells which have 15ah continuous where as the 20s is like 22ah continuous

Like I don't need 2 more batteries but a new 3ah to me be great, good runtime, good power and smaller and lighter then all my other batteries...

I'm just a diy guy... And I have 1 4ah, 4 5ah, 1 6ah and 1 1.5ah... I'd like to have a smaller compact that's more useful then the old 1.5 ah from 2012 lol

Thinking of picking up another battery and can get 2 2ah batteries in a pack or the 3ah and a charger for about the same price... Wondering what the better choice would be, leaning toward the 3ah and selling the charger after since I have 4 already.

Well I just picked up one with the 2018 35 date code and it had the new Samsung cells so if you have anything passed that date code you should have them as well... And that was built in August last year

Hoping it gives that extra juice on impacts, drills etc Grinder will be in the future for sure

Anyone have a clue when they changed over to the 21700 cell in the 6.0 xr, just bought one from a seller on Amazon and said the date code is 2018 35 49

Now, here's another question for you guys? For running just 20v tools, would you recommend the flexvolt 6 or the xr 6.0 for your tools? What gives the better runtime? Most power?

Looking at picking up a new 6.0 and was wondering what kind of difference there is between the 6 and the 5 power wise in high draw tools....Anyone ever notice much difference? Looking to see if I'd notice on the impacts like the mid torque, high torque and maybe the 996 etc... Are they worth the money?

Probably something like that for legal purposes etc I'm not worried

It has the blower

We'll know more later, maybe it's coming for a different spot? The Sydney tools video seems too show it blowing the dust out ahead but I dunno, the dust doesn't really seem too pile up... Need to see what DeWalt says I guess

Lots of unhappy guys online, no dust blower or dust port... That's a bummer

Wonder how much better they are then the 2ah... Trying to decide between 1 3ah or getting 2 2ah

I know the 5ah could supply more runtime but with the new high end 21700 cells in the 3ah compact, do you think it could supply the same type of performance in the bigger tools like the impacts? Could it supply more amps compared to the the 5ah?

Heard something before the DeWalt plastic they use for all the power tools is like something proprietory too SBD/DeWalt but can't remember the name... Anyone else know if this is true?

Ooh and as far as the felling dogs (spikes) go... Come in handy on the bigger saws, but these smaller saws you don't really need them IMO... Milwaukee I think added them in to make the saw look tough more then anything like it's going to do serious cutting back in the woods with the big boys haha

The mower would be great for us to do the stuff the tractor can't do here.... Might even get dad to look into one, he'd probably do his whole lawn on a charge

My dad recently picked up a flexvolt chainsaw, it's a been a great saw so far... The worries about the plastic chain tensioner are totally overblown, Ave on YouTube has everyone scared like it's going to come apart and the whole saw is useless.. He has already cut over a cord of wood for heat in the garage over the winter on some smaller trees with his and no issues. Adjusts fine and very easily which honestly was a big selling point and it doesn't really feel cheap in the slightest. The amount of times you will actually use the saw and effectively need to adjust the chain, it doesn't even matter. Would I use it as my standalone chainsaw in the woods to cut my 5 cords of winters wood for the house, Probably not... We got a 450 Rancher for the big stuff. Its a great saw with a ton of power to do many a jobs around the house, take with you to the camp, on the ATV whatever you need to do. Its not going to replace your big pro saws but it's great at what it's meant for... It made a believer out of me for sure. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, but dad has one so I don't need too haha

Puffffttt, rather my drill try to be able to do the job then a drill then has a hard time to pass through a 2x6 without looking to shut it self off because the manufacturer used the cheapest motor on the market and can't handle any work

Starting to see Dewalt tool sets and other tool at Canadian Tire now

I checked it myself, Dewalt has announced a new scanner for 2014

Dewalt's overload protection is not as invasive as some other brands and will really take the tool to the limit before it will look to shut off but maybe this kit has none
