    No, it's just that Soccer sucks ?

     

    Honestly, I think it all boils down to what one is accustomed to. We never had a local soccer league when I was growing up and even now there's only 1 in the county as opposed to other sports where there are multiple teams in every town. Most of the kids I know that play soccer do so because their mommies and daddies are too afraid to let them play football or baseball. Accordingly, soccer teams are mostly populated by the "fragile" kids who's parents signed them up for soccer as a last ditch effort at keeping them athletic. I realize that's not the case everywhere, but that seems to be the case here. 

     

    To me, soccer looks like a bunch of people running around in circles and watching it ranks somewhere near golf on the excitement scale, but that's probably because I don't completely understand it. 

    It's the opposite for me soccer was the only sport in gym where I wasn't picked dead last. I never was that interested in athletics for the most part my mom did T-ball as a kid and I had zero interest in it. Watching baseball on tv is torture like golf to me I just find it so boring but I don't know much about baseball besides the basics.

    Wow, I am somewhat taken aback that someone actually sued them over this. I always just took it for granted that they were inflating numbers as standard marketing practice and only ever looked at the final price of one of their product offerings when buying from them. I think it would be too much trouble to go through all of my credit card statements just to find a few items to get a minimal discount, when it is easier just to use one of their current percent off coupons.

     

    Thanks for posting though...

    Amazon is really guilty of this in their Email promotions. They use some crazy msrp number or just bs number they came up with so they have and item that is 50% off but suspiciously the same price everyone else is selling the item for. I have seen so many Amazon emails like that for tools!!

    I have a DeWalt cooler does that count? 

    Haha never knew DeWalt had shoes, do you know who makes them?

    I bought snap on socks before, they were very nice actually!

    I have seen a few people talk about Snapon Socks on a few mechanics FB groups. I guess they are legit really good socks.

    This is definitely the best option when doing warranty. But i think the charger is only 1 year warranty

    I looked on Milwaukee's web page chargers are 5 years but the radio charger is only 1 year, but all the radios Milwaukee sells are one year warranty only. I think that is kinda shitty though it should be 3 or something for the premium you pay.

    I'm a Dewalt guy...some Ryobi,(my main second level tools) Milwaukee,Bosch,and one rigid corded trim router........I'm about to give in and make rigid my new second  battery platform.....damn that's cool tools.....I want that heater, compressor,router,sander..( my Ryobi router,sander are getting old) No Dewalt hope in sight....so I'm almost ready to make rigid my second platform.....really cool,useful tools......props to rigid.....if 1 more cool rigid tool comes out ....I'm in

    Ridgid wasn't like that till recently they were not really releasing anything interesting for awhile till recently. I wonder if they got new management in there maybe someone from Milwaukee possibly? TTI is the corporate parent of both.

    Well I'm not saying it's not BS but in order to have the same runtime as a 40V battery, a 60V battery on a 60v tool would need to be bigger. The tool would probably be bigger as well. This may not be practical for professional users but ok for occasional users. At the same time, 20V is probably too low a voltage for outdoor tools, hence the 40v platform.

     

    I see the 40V being the equivalent of the 20v platform but for landscapers. This way they can focus on providing optimized ergonomics just for these users.  But who knows, sometimes Dewalt is hard to follow but I like them having different lines optimized for specific use cases. I just wish they would give their 12v line a little more love. Love the ergonomics of the 12v driver. I'm a bit more hopeful after seeing this website : https://www.dewalt12volt.com/.

     

     

    That website just seems to be for the 12v automotive charging stuff nothing to do with 12v battery powered tools.
