I know right?! I can possibly see the 18V for homeowners that have already bought into that line and of course the 60V makes the most sense. But 40V? This seems like a senseless filler voltage to me. Really with OPE we are talking long sustained loads as opposed to mostly intermittent loads with our power tools. In my opinion, 60V should be the only option and am most likely going to pull the trigger on their FlexVolt trimmer. Would like to see a TIA review first though(hint, hint).
The 40v tools have battery packs with more amp hours than flex volt at the moment. In 60v mode a FV pack is only 2ah on the 6ah pack and 3.0ah on the 9.0ah pack. That is not a great run time for a outdoor tool.

Milwaukee pissed a few people of with the discontinuation with the V18 platform but the numbers were too little to really care about. Dewalt had the cordless market locked down hard back in the 18v xrp days. If you wanted cordless tools that were good you went for Dewalt most of the time.
Makita got weird for a little bit not really releasing anything compelling for a few years, and Bosch lets be honest they are so slow moss could grow at their development offices.

Yep Milwaukee was adding to the M18 line and Dewalt just launched the 20v line with just the basics. It took a good 3/4 years before the 20v Max line got decently filled out. The finish nailer and cordless caulk guns were tools Dewalt took their sweet time releasing.

This forum used to have a bunch more forum topics till Conductor and Eric and different times merger and deleted things that didn't have any traffic or were not relevant. The big thing was the merger of the the TIA forum and the Dewalt owners group.

We could just have a thread stickied on the TIA swap meet topic for reviews. We try to keep the number of topics to a minimum so you don't end up with dead areas of the forum.

If you ever want cordless saws look at the M18 tools

7 hours with a 5ah battery that isn't bad I'm sure that's the 30k btu setting.

I feel your pain Hugh. Ridgid and Milwaukee are both giving DeWalt a hard time in the cordless tool arena. Milwaukee is also challenging them on the hand tool front. They use to be so dominant in both these areas, just got complacent. I hope they step up their game.
Dewalt made 2 big errors they were the last to convert to slide packs, and didn't offer an adapter till years later. That pissed a lot of people off, and gave people an out to try a different brand. Also you had post TTI Milwaukee releasing all sorts of new tools and offering promotions all the time with them. Milwaukee is still aggressive with promotions but they are not as good and prices have went up.

...why in the hell is Ridgid first with this? WHYYYYYYYYYYY. I mean first the compressor and trim router. Carpentry is supposed to be your thing. This is embarrassing just how awesome this looks...

I'm surprised lately with Ridgid that brand was asleep at the wheel 7 or so years ago when they launched the x4 line.

Well that's because its Grainger. The other thing is the price isn't something crazy either its about what Ebay pricing is on those items.

That is a weird offer

Ridgid was kinda dead for a minute regarding new cordless tools. They just had the basics and that was it.

Yea this for the guy that still wants to use pneumatic guns while still doing trim work but wants something super convenient. If you were invested in a ton of pneumatics this might be worth it.

Is Milwaukee getting out of the lighting game or what? They are marking everything down

If they could get Chervon or TTI to their cordless tools they could be on to something. If HF had something like a Ryobi plus line up but cheaper? That would really hurt HD

The seem to be used on large beams and light masonry depending on the blade you use.
-
I think it was @CATERPILLAR It's just weird seeing old stuff like that. Especially HF because it has a reputation the other way now.

I was blown away by the guy that posted the scan of the old HF catalog with name brand tools in it!!! When did HF go the cheap made in china route?

Depends, sometimes I'll try to get organized which is a never ending process, something's always messed up, I'll flip through some news, try to watch a movie, go to Home Depot lol
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkJeez it was a long time ago but Home Depot used to have some stores around here open 24 hours that didn't last long though. I can only imagine they were getting robbed blind. I also remember back then the tool area was an actual caged in corral.

Dear Dewalt...
in Power Tools

I really wonder if the FV 60v OPE has more power than the 20v counterparts. I just wonder why they needed a FV line of OPE when they could have used the 20v line but just sold them with FV for more run time.
