    It could be done by saying " here is my opinion of This tool now" and follow up a year later and do the same test....problem is most of these reviewers Dont Actually Use Tools it's just a business on you tube...

     

    This is mostly true. I would also be tuning in to actual tradies reviews over others, if they are any good. That's why I like James from OurBuild.

     

    We would like to do the follow up a year later, but the problem is that MOST reviewed tools (not all) don't get a lot more use  after the review. I've probably reviewed 5 impact drivers in the last year, which means that with my own irregular DIY projects, none of them get enough use to speak honestly about long-term use.

     

    A few tools however, do get a lot of use as we just love using them (e.g. Mike and I have both used the M18 FUEL Circ saw extensively), and we will likely talk about this more than once.

  2. I don't want to see brushed tools dissapear. But I think they will. 

     

    Plasma TV's, despite being a superior picture, dissapeared because LED LCD marketing won out, and plasmas weren't cost effective to make anymore.

     

    In recent times, none of the brushed tools have been competitive in run-time in any of our comparisons.

    the procore endurance pack 10.5 amp/hr is the one I was thinking of.

     

    Also Ego has a 9.0 now

     

    Wow EGO! That EGO battery would have 50.4V x 9Ah = 454 Wh. There's no power tool battery with close to that.

     

    The ProCORE Endurance 10.5Ah (once it's out) will have 18 x 10.5 = 189Wh.

     

    But there are power tool batteries with more juice than that already out.

    So I finally got around to watching the vid... you kinda have a serial killer vibe going on at the very beginning. 

     

    Just kidding.

     

    Have you compared the corded Bosch to a recent Fein? Sounds like the Bosch may have more power....

     

    Lol, hopefully I don't give that vibe off very often!

     

    Nah we have actually not reviewed or used a FEIN OMT ....

    wow wasn't expecting to get it right.

     

    What brands offer a drill with easily removable chucks?

     

     One brand in particular comes with multiple chucks in the kit to easily swap out depending on the task at hand.

     

    As far as I know, it's Bosch (12V and 18V), Milwaukee M12, Festool, Metabo and Fein. 

     

    Bosch, Milwaukee and Festool have a few different types of chucks (right-angle, offset, 1/4" bit holder etc)

     

    Metabo have a quick change chuck, but the only compatible 'chucks' are the little 1/4" 'bit holder it comes with, and the huge torque multiplier, so I assume you don't mean that.

    FEIN also have a removable chuck with a little 1/4" hex bit holder. Come to think of it, maybe they have other chucks, but I don't remember seeing any.

    Cut out saw ( Gyproc )DSD180

    Multitool DTM ( does it count as a saw ? )

    Sliding Mitre saw DLS110

    Chop saw DLS600

    One Handed chainsaw

    Full size chainsaw

    CXT glass/tilesaw 

    Plunge saw DSP

     

    That's 17 if the Multitool counts

     

    I don't count the multi-tool (or the drywall cutter personally, but meh whatever).

     

    I believe the tilesaw only comes in 12V. So by might count you're up to 14. 

     

    My answer was Makita with 17 (add their 18x2 7-1/4" circ saw,  their 2nd bandsaw and their 2nd metal cutting saw).

     

    You're up Korno.
