Wow I'm really surprised they didn't just swap it with a new tool. I'm that's alot of work fixing a tool that well used.

Torques any higher than this really are moving into impact wrench territory. Torture tests where people try to see if these can remove the tires off a semi may get lots of clicks but all that stuff is moving out of the realm of what these things are actually supposed to be used for. Sure in a pinch it’s nice to know if you can. Otherwise if you need impact wrench torque...buy an impact wrench.
Worded way better than my comment about Torque and such.

Really not a lot changes on the bigger tools its drills drivers the smaller tools that get frequent updates
-
Usually they drop new tools at big events World of concrete being one, and individual company events during the summer. They also can just do surprise drops of new tools during the year too.

I think Makita concentrates on RPM over torque right now, for the most part impact drivers don't really need much more power for most fasteners. Even in decks ledger locks are taking over from big lag bolts now.

More than likely monitoring purposes. contacts that small are not really good for handling large amounts of current
-
I think pretty much all the compact impact wenches are just impact drivers with different anvils

He probably meant Chervon but got either auto corrected or just mentally spelled it wrong done it a few times before myself

I'm curious too as it's supposed to have carbon fiber in it!! I wonder what it will be obviously something summer related a little late for a winter release

Pretty happy with Ego the only thing is I had a 7.5ah battery go bad on me recently. They took care of me but that kinda freaked me out now cheap to replace!!!

Would save so much money for mechanics. If we had converted by then most cars would be all metric now except for the "classics"

I agree, depending on how many tools in that lineup they have. A new battery is probably a little over half the cost of a proper Lithium powered tool. Probably 25% more could get a lithium reconditioned tool.
I don't know your situation but your probably better off buying a Ryobi starter kit when they have them than trying to get the Dewalt drill running again sadly the performance is probably better on the Ryobi tool also and you have so many other tools to add on later. Sadly fixing tools unless its some high dollar tool originally like a big corded hilti sds is never really worth it.

Great tips though I will add you would be better off investing in a new battery platform that repairing or buying new cells or packs for a Dewalt 14.4
-
Why would I buy the Bostich cordless nailers over Dewalt? maybe a few dollars cheaper but the batteries are not compatible with anything else really. SBD needs to streamline and make some packs compatible between brands this is getting a little crazy.

Ego's teasing something made out of carbon fiber. Can't think of what it could be though at the moment.

The Milwaukee mixer seems to be popular

He's in the UK the Dewalt station isn't offered there

Would metabo's new unit work? https://www.metabo.com/uk/en/tools/vacuums-and-extraction/all-purpose-vacuum-cleaner/
Looks like Hilti has one don't want to know the price though. https://www.hilti.co.uk/cordless-systems/cordless-vacuum-cleaners/r44936

I have the Ego self propelled model the battery mowers are so much lighter you don't really notice it like an old heavy gas model. If you have a bigger yard with hills maybe you still want a self propelled model. Just my experience.

WOC is going to be more about masonry and concrete releases. I bet most of the woodworking stuff will be this summer or just announced when ready.

I have one that's broken and its an obvious issue with a poor original part design.
