  1. I brought all my tools and batteries in from the shed and will be going in the basement for the winter... Better be safe then sorry
  2. And is still not hear after 2 plus years... Simple fact probably to build a drill like that, too heavy, long, tall and price not many would be willing to pay... the last one never sold so why invest in the same kind again but need to charge even more for it being brushless Far as tools, Dewalt has some hand tools made hear But I don't believe Milwaukee does. Is the 995 made in mexico though like the 985?
  3. Way I look at it is, Dewalt is a brand of stanley/black and decker which I'd put my money on having more tools made here then TTI ever will If any tool was any good, 2 years of use unless heavily abused should not hurt the drill much especially a brushless motor tool... And for Milwaukee to release a new updated version I can only see coming next fall at the earliest and will probably need to be heavily reworked with an even more efficient brushless motor and reworked redlink circuitry... and for it to stay the same size, to get an even better brushless motor in there will probably cost more money as if Milwaukee was building good tools already had one of the best they could get to keep the price in the range they wanted In the end, brushless dewalt vs brushless milwaukee they are pretty well even... Buy what you have already and everyone's happy...All top quality tools
  4. Don't you mean a sad day at TTI in china lol Dewalt makes a good product and this drill proved it
  5. The blade is good for rough cutting and framing, stuff like that but it's no Diablo... But no blade stock on a saw isn't much good for finer work... framing only really
  6. I own the Dewalt DWS 780 and it's an awesome saw, It's lighter then the Bosch by a far amount plus a lot easier on the wallet... Plenty of power to cut through anything and the XPS light system is awesome, it casts a shadow on the work piece using the blade to cast the shadow and where the shadow is it's exactly where the blade is going to cut.... I believe the Dewalt also has more detent on it's miter scale plus has more range as well... Plus the height range on the bosch is much lower then the Dewalt if your doing any kind of molding So unless space is an absolute must I'd save the money and buy the Dewalt and put your money toward a Diablo blade and cut anything you want
  7. It's a VM Motori diesel, which is italian I just traded my GMC truck today for a new fusion and very happy with my purchase....
  8. The TransCanada pipeline is suppose to be going ahead up here... Going to stretch from Alberta to Saint John, New Brunswick (Few Hours from me) It's probably going to well over 2500 miles of pipeline to do it
  9. The Dewalt according to Car and Driver is 350 ft lbs fastening and 575 loosening so it should work well for my needs working on my vehicles anyway
  10. There is a reason why some guns remove bolts faster then others because they supply more torque then the other gun... I believe the gun will supply full torque right away
  11. Well I know my mechanic that does some work when I can't is very happy with his guns and has never upgraded because they are right about at the right level to what most automotive needs are... Any more and you start running the risk of breaking bolts... He'd rather use a breaker bar first for that reason... I took auto tech as my trade and know a lot in the trade and many don't use huge guns...
  12. Far as cordless it might be along time before you see them in nascar, the IR gun they use has lots of torque but it's the speed at which it spins which is very high over 10000rpm... IR sells the thunder gun which is something like they use in pits but it's far from the real thing
  13. My local mechanic where I worked for a little while uses a snap on Jun, only has about 500 ft lbs and it's worn out and you don't really come across much that the gun can't handle... My GMC Sierra I changed rear shocks and did a front leveling kit myself with my old corded gun and never had much trouble... High torque can and will break bolts, always better off cracking loose big bolts with a breaker bar taking your time then going full tilt with a big gun at full torque... Saves many headaches
  14. Don't know who would need that kinda torque outside a truck trailer shop and a industrial setting but awesome if your in that trade... It's there if you need it but for a home owner, your gonna break bolts lol working on all my vehicles I never needed over let's say like 400 but only needed that for really badly rusted bolts on old vehicles I'm going to order the Dewalt really soon for working on my stuff because my corded is getting run down and weak
  15. I'd love to pick up a cordless saw but I keep looking and don't think I could ever get use too having the blade on the left side... It just feels akward
  16. Well my 1.5 ah packs on my 985 don't last very long driving lets say a 1 1/4 inch spade bit wide open on the 3rd speed it might only do like 10 holes before it dies but the difference between the 985 and my 780 is quite big in the Torque dept but just about everywhere on the internet plus Dewalt has told me the same thing about the batteries... I think Milwaukee uses the electronics to tell it what battery is in there and if it can supply the extra power because only Makita and Milwaukee from the looks of it make more power with bigger batteries... If the Dewalt is making all power on any battery that's a plus to me because I have 4 of the 1.5 ah batteries and for the work I'd be doing all those batteries would be plenty and I'd be getting all the power I'm suppose to have
  17. Most of the wood that I use anywhere around here is all soft woods and can easily be done with the 3rd speed... If i was doing metal or anything else harder then most softwoods I'd use the right speed
  18. Amps and Ah are not the same thing. 3.0 A.h. means that the battery can theoretically deliver 3 Amps for 1 hour. A 1.5 A.h. battery can only deliver 1.5 Amps for 1 hour or 3 Amps for ½ hour. The actual number of amps drawn depends on the voltage and the circuitry of the tool. In use the two tools may draw exactly the same amps and thus have exactly the same Power (Watts) rating. If they both draw 1.5 Amps in use then the 1.5 Ah battery will last for 1 hour, the 3.0 Ah battery will last for 2 hours. I had a feeling that's how it worked before and found that info searching around the net
  19. Everyone I asked even Dewalt themselves told me the same thing... same power no matter what you use I use the 3rd speed, to drill holes unless it bogs down and electronics kicked in I'd knock it down a notch to #2 The Milwaukee handle offers 2 spots either left or right, not much of handle to me...
  20. I'm with Jeth, Mastercraft wrenches here.... Can't break them
  21. I'm probably going to end up getting a 12 amp when I come down to buying one, get them for 69 plus tax at canadian tire from their maximum line
  22. The dial is a small change for me because the handle design for the milwaukee sucks... A simple left or right is a terrible design IMO The spin dial has been used forever and most people to me really would never notice the difference... I showed my buddy who runs the 20v system and it didn't seem to phase him at all. I could live with it as long as it cuts down on length They could of made it shorter by cutting out the great handle design, or maybe cutting out the 3 speed transmission but those features probably make more sense to users then the clutch dial... I been using my 985 the last few days and my perfect spot for the handle for me is like on a 60 degree angle and that to me is perfect so not being able to do that with the Fuel to me would really hurt in my buying decision... If specs are right which we don't know, with the Fuel on the big batteries is making 725, small battery 650, Dewalt on ANY! battery makes 708, 17 in lbs in difference... Weight is off by .3lbs with Dewalt being a bit heavier... in reality it's hard to tell the difference when you hold them... Milwaukee is shorter but none of us can tell yet by how much.. Dewalt has 3rd speed Milwaukee none Dewalt has to me better overall handle design Milwaukee has seperate clutch dial Overall these drills are probably so close it all depends on what battery you own already The 985 and 2604 when tested by TIA, the only realy true difference was the runtime, power seemed neck and neck... So basically buy whatever drill goes with your cordless system..
  23. I think it's more of a rounded of number anyway, Because the 795 has more grunt then the 785 and I think both rated around 60nm
  24. Even then a bit more power wouldn't of probably made any difference
  25. It makes no sense, why would it have the same power using a more efficient brushless motor?
