It will accept all 20v batteries. It will not work in the 18v charger.

No, I can't comment on pricing, sorry.

Both

Mid to late October here in the US

That is correct

Dewalt 36V is being discontinued at the end of the year, just a heads up in case anyone missed it.

Buy a Dewalt, should clear your problem right up

You'd rather a giant cube than a slim compact design with 4 speakers?

October Launch

100 CFM 3 SPEED TRIGGER LOCK ON SWITCH LENGTH: 20" 3.7 LBS Available in Bare and a kit ( One 4.0Ah Battery)

Just because a motor is brushless doesn't mean it's more powerful, that's not the advantage of brushless tools. It's run time that you are paying a premium for.

From what I remember when we launched these tools, the cordless one had just as much power as the corded. As far as run time, I have not used mine enough to give you an honest estimate. Just like any tool, it depends on the application.

Yes it is a slower charge time.

We do, for example, the saws that come in combo kits compared to the bare tool or kit saws explained at tool guyd. http://toolguyd.com/dewalt-20v-combo-kit-saw-differences/ Dewalt wasn't going to change the entire model number of the DW715 just because they were removing the ability to add a light to it. Changing a model # is a huge headache for distributors. Also, the number of attachment lights sold compared to DW715's was very minimal. The majority of people who bought DW715's never added the light.

Dewalt stopped making the XPS work light attachment, so there was no reason to keep adding the ability attach it to the DW715. As you may have seen the DW716XPS replaced the DW716 and features the work light built in and it's double bevel.

The springs inside the tool have to be replaced every 30K - 50K shots. It's easy to do in the field. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPa_Oar5ZyQ

Toronto Tool is correct, if you are framing houses all day, the cordless framer is not the tool for you. It wasn't designed for that.

JasonC is correct. They don't share details with us sales guys, it's usually just small changes. Could be one of a thousand things.

doesn't sound like it was an event. Nice Koozie, I don't even have one of those

Yea, Milwaukee's 5 year warranty doesn't cover wear and tear, same with Dewalt's 3 year warranty. Both companies have a 1 year free service on wear and tear items. I've tried to get Eric and Dan to understand this and to stop misleading people by telling them the tool has a 5 year warranty. Everyone basically has the same warranty. Manufacturer defects rarely occur to begin with.

It's a 3 year manufacturers defect warranty. It wouldn't cover the cost of repairing a tool broken due to wear and tear. Same goes for Milwaukee's 5 year manufacturers defect warranty, it's only 1 year on wear and tear. Glad you got it working PaulE

Dewalt started building the DCD780C2 and DCD785C2 in the USA back in early 2014 maybe even late 2013. The 780 and 785 drills still come with the 1.5 ah batteries, they do not come with the battery charge indicator. The only 1.5 ah batteries you'll find with a battery indicator are ones you buy separate off the shelf (DCB201). All other 20v batteries (2, 3, 4, & 5 Amp Hour) come with battery charge indicators. Hope that makes sense.

Find the part you are looking for on this website: http://servicenet.dewalt.com/Home Search for the DWS780 and DWS709 - find the part you are looking for. If the part numbers are the same, then it will work. I am not sure what you mean by guard link, otherwise I would look it up for you.

Makita only has a 1 year warranty on their batteries. Dewalt has a 2 year warranty on their 1.5ah & 2ah batteries and a 3 year warranty on the 3, 4, and 5ah packs.
