Cheers Tug.
Yeah it's a tidy little unit for sure. What sort of size / joules do you start to see a lot of busted chisel tips at?
-
-
Yep, they're super nice guns.
-
These are really, really nice guns. Oh, and the Hitachi nailers are good too ...

So what's your answer Jronman?

No that was the picture I saw that gave me the idea that was hanging in our office trailer. I don't have a picture of the dickhead I screwed over.
oh! hehe

we are sometimes able to put tools into professional hands, but not that much. Plus the time it takes to organise and do that makes them much less viable at our size...

Still haven't seen the correct answer.

Fein makes it in a 12v too, nuts!
Your up
I would say the most popular tool brands for trades people around the world are probably the following (no order): milwaukee, dewalt, makita, bosch, hitachi, metabo, ridgid/aeg, ryobi, hilti, porter cable (US).
Of these, which do NOT make a dedicated 18v sander of some type. I am EXCLUDING multi-tools and polishers from this question.

that's a fantastic photo. was that REALLY you Hugh??

Ask a tradie how to best use the tool, and what features are most important.
Ask an independent reviewer how the different brands stack up against each other, and what the latest and greatest is.
Ask God which ones are most likely to last in the long run.

Dewalt, Hilti, Festool, Metabo
Add FEIN to that list, and I think it's right.
Makita used to make a 3 speed, but don't anymore.

Without having done a full comparison that includes it, I think it probably is best-in-class. BUT i haven't used the DTD170, only the DTD148, so who knows.
One thing is for sure, their previous IP56 model WAS best in class for several years.

we'll probably end up doing a little Instagram comparison with the Makita at some point soon

Not bad! Doesn't feel quite as nice as the Makita, but I still like it a lot.
Chucked in a few bloopers too. Mike has set fire to his shed twice, so I do like to rib him about it

I thought it was rough cut to 2x in days past, then finished to 1-1/2....

could say the same for 2x lumber right? Force it to be called 1-1/2"x
Did I hear that m12 was actually 12v and not 12v max or could I be mistaken?I think it would be better if the lumber were more accurately described, but hopefully there the industry is at least consistent in it's inaccuracy
M12, like all other '12V' lines is actually 10.8V. 3 cells at 3.6V each. Or '12V Max'

I follow the logic , but in practical terms , two batteries from two different companies both having 162wh of energy ..Do not produce the same amount of cuts, Do not rip the same linear ft of stock....t
The tools themselves have different motors and different efficiency. so you will always get a different results. If you had two identical tools, that were wired for different brand batteries, THEN you might get the same amount of runtime.
If companies REALLY wanted to inform consumers about their batteries, not only would they tell us the accurate Wh of the battery but also the rated output current of the cells. BUT that's unfortunately not the world we live in ...

OK, it's been too long.
First person who wants to, just ask a new question

i really want Makita to get us a pre-release of that SDS-Max unit!!
Are they also releasing an update to the SDS-Plus 18x2 model?

The smaller cable size will rise the resistance so the equation is still valid. And I think it would be stupid to raise the voltage and then using smaller cables. Why give yourself all the trouble of using a new tension in the first place if you are going to use smaller cables?
But I totally agree with you that you can't judge a tool just by looking at the claimed numbers. That's why reviews are important. There are just too many factors at play. I have no opinion on which tool is better and nothing against Dewalt or Makita. But it's important to me that we don't spread false scientific statements whatever you may think of a brand.
Isn't that EXACTLY why transmission mains are so high voltage, to keep cable size more practical?
I agree it's unlikely Dewalt have dropped the cable sizes from the standard size you see in most power tools, but its possible. Just saying we are debating about super technical engineering design without any data ....

Hmm very interesting. I wonder if BPM plays no part at all? I guess Joules/hit would be far more important.
