I love the Dewalt planer and would choose it above all others. I gave the Makita the nod in the end due to it's price point.

THere are already photos of a BL bosch grinder with a little screen on its back...

That grinder will be amazing
I wonder what size it is?

I don't think anyone is suggesting Dewalt have created an infinite energy loop. Guys are just trying to figure out what it means to have 4 batteries as a power source.
To all, there is no doubt that this will either be charged from a powerpoint or contain a generator. The big question is whether t will have its own inbuilt batteries AND be able to somehow use 4 batteries when it's empty(?) or whether the 4 batteries are the primary power source.

Unless you're running through blades like crazy I don't think availability or cost should be a consideration compared to the blade side.
my thoughts exactly. FYI the motor housing size is identical, and I believe the motor is too.

I'm pretty sure the screen grabs from the last video are a 4in grinder. If that is a 7in, the tool body is freaking gargantuan.
isn't it more likely a 4-1/2", with a 5" to follow later?

cool. I don't even know who you're talking about anyway, my comment was just a casual opinion that wasn't asked for anyway
oztooltalk gets free tools from manufacturers, but we don't hide that. and we allow retail stores (who sell many/all brands) to sponsor us.

Dwain, you are correct but we have been politely asked by one of our sponsors (read....Dewalt) who graciously donate tools to us for free giveaways to put a kabosh on early release news that has not been approved by Dewalt for release. I see where you are coming from but.....we like keeping sponsors too.
Yeah I get it. I just think Dewalt are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They try and build up all this anticipation (instead of just releasing new tools to us), and then complain when we try really hard to find out what it is.
Still, I'm as excited as anyone. And I don't want TIA to lose any sponsorship (who doesn't love a giveaway?!).

I don't have a problem with sponsorship as long as it not a secret, pretending to be unbiased...

Hey guys, what do you think of this tool?
-
Hey Chris. Genuine question here.
The posts in this forum don't represent TIA, and the forum is open to the public. If a company doesn't keep tight enough control of it's secrets, people will talk about it. How can a tool company be 'moderating' this forum?
I didn't see the post, so I suppose I might be missing the larger picture.

Another new feature on the Bosch I would like to see tested is electronic clutch.
I'll see if I can check it before I post. The testing is all done now, so you're a little late to the party unfortunately.

As for the tool, it's corded so not part of the big announcement. Could be a new release though, it's very compact.
If only it was an adapter that allowed all cordless tools to also be used from AC power....

Do you have a way to measure actual torque? Not the theoretical torque we get from the manufacturers?
I can't measure torque in Nm or in-lbs. I can only test which is most powerful in real life ways, like how large an auger they can drive, and how long hard tasks take.

yep, what makes those Triton routers so good (and the ones rebadged as CMT) is that they not only have micro adjustment, but you can also move the depth the full range in 2 seconds. Single spanner bit change, huge power, soft start etc. They make the BEST in-table routers, because you don't need a router lift.

Looking forward to the finished product. I almost always enjoy your videos.
Thanks BK. Hit me with some constructive feedback!

took about 130 videos. I've now culled and renamed to 96 videos total of 54GB. This is not gonna be quick .... :/

Never heard of this line...almost looks like Ridgid
Triton are hit and miss with their products (originally an Australian company, now had many different owners) . Their routers are a tier above everyone else IMO. The super-jaws are nice quality (I have one). But I can't speak to their whole range.

I know you've probably seen this reviewed several times already, but here's our take on it

We were cutting 8x2 vertically. The shoes and blade setup may have played a part though. Had I had more time with the tools I would have tried more tests. According to an Aussie tool site selling these, " This model uses 36V (18V x 2) Technology that makes it up to 30% faster than anything else on the market. " and states further down that it has more power.
The sleepers I cut were also 8x2. The tool specs are identical, and the housing is identical in size. If it looks, feels and smells the same, it probably is the same. Makita's AU website doesn't claim it has any extra power...

They are being released here (New Zealand) next month. Tried them both out last night. NICE!
I preferred the 36v. Felt it had a little more power which stopped the vibrations I was getting when using the 18v version. 36v is meant to have 20% more power.
That's interesting. What sort of cutting were you doing? When I tested (and filmed) cutting sleepers and soild steel bar, the 18V and 18x2 times were virtually identical...

Cordless Nailer vs. Pneumatic
in Power Tools
Posted
I don't think a cordless nailer would be a good replacement for say a coil nailer, because it just won't last as long if you are needing to put in THAT many nails.
But I can't see any good reason not to replace a brad, finish or framing nailer with a battery powered one otherwise.
