  1. Dewalt green 3x360 laser, DW089LG 350$ with free 2 ah battery
  2. I just received this planer in the mail today and right out of the box I could tell the front shoe was not flat with the blade and rear shoe. I made a few cuts and at the 1/16" setting it would cut 1/16" on one side and nothing on the other. I looked all over the tool and couldn't find any way to make adjustments. Does anyone else have any experience with this tool and know of any adjustment I'm not seeing. Any help would be great. Thanks
  3. Maybe a dw954. Don't hold me to it.
  4. The dcd950 I have at work has always had that issue. No idea what causes it though. My dcd995 doesn't do that but I've only used it a few times.
  5. Does anyone know if you can use an offset head nail. I've seen a lot of different sites say it will take both but the manual only says clipped head.
  6. No. it was a defect. I received a replacement from amazon a few days ago and there was zero wobble. I'm guessing it was one in a million because I've used a dozen dewalt 18 and 20v hammer drills and none of them were nearly this bad.
  7. The battery does stick down pretty far but not enough to keep you from getting a flush cut. The dewalt blades I have keep the battery around 1/4" off the surface.
  8. Yes. Every 20v max tool I have used (besides the multi tool) has a little bit of side to side play. Only a little bit though, I wish they put the little rubber pad like what's on the multi tool on all the tools.
  9. I had a coworker drop this impact from the top of a grain elevator. Fell 60' bounced off a tin roof then fell another 100' on to gravel. The only thing that broke was the bit holder on the side. That was 6 months ago and the drill and battery still work fine today. I'm beyond impressed.
  10. Yes the chuck and the bit wobble. I actually noticed it before I even put a bit in. I've also used many dewalt drills and have never seen one like this. What do you think would be easier, dealing with amazon returns or contacting dewalt.
  11. I just received this drill through amazon today and the chuck has a descent amount of wobble. Has anyone else had this issue? With a 3" bit the tip of the bit will move about 1/8". That seems like a lot to me.
  12. The dcf895 isn't actually a 3-speed transmission. It just tones down the power and rpm of the tool electronically. So the first speed is equivalent to you only pushing the trigger about half way on the third speed. So if you have an application where your constantly twisting off heads or stripping them out, three speeds may be a good idea. Other than that this is a great deal. I bought three, kept one impact and all 6 batteries and sold the other 2 impacts as bare tool for $135, basically got 2 4.0 batteries and a charger for $100.
  13. I own both the DCF886(single speed) and the DCF895(3-speed) and I personally like the single speed better. The variable speed trigger is very smooth so you still have very precise control. I also haven't been a big fan of the push button chuck on the 3-speed version, it just feels awkward to me, I use the other style on a daily basis so it may not be an issue for you if your not used to anything else. One thing I know the 3-speed version would be good for though is if you use a lot of blue masonry screws, I tend to twist a lot of those off with the single speed.
  14. I have the same drill an I believe it's just the braking feature that stops the motor when you release the trigger. I've noticed it really bad when I would have something heavy attached like a paint or mortar mixer. I don't believe it's anything to worry about though.
  15. Also agreed I especially like the option to attach two batteries.
  16. A 12v MAX headlamp where the battery attaches in the back would be great. I would use a headlamp a whole lot more often if I wasn't constantly changing AA or AAA batteries. Maybe even infrared would be nice.
