Very nice! That compressor reminds me of a Battle-Bot!

Why do you have the DC013? Other than the USB port, is it not pretty much the same thing?
-
Fly to Europe and..... j/k I would assume you would find them on Ebay.uk? Not sure if they would work over here or not based on hertz, AM-FM programing, and the plug? Not my expertise.

Thanks for posting these in. I've never taken a Skil cordless tool apart. Bosch currently uses Samsung cells, and being a partner in crime it's no surprise to see Samsung cells being used here. Samsung is the creater of Milwaukee's Red-lithium a battery that finally caught Milwaukee up with the rest of the competition in my opinion.
I don't think rebuilding any lithium pack is a good idea, unless your simply replacing the cells with the same type of cell. Each brand has it's own unique charging method, and as such could be dangerous... or the charger may not even charge them?
If you move forward with the rebuild, post in a follow-up.

It's my understanding that these are Dewalt's 1st systainer.
-
Those are pretty dang cool! Everyone else these day's seem to be coming out with these systainers. I wondered if Dewalt would. I'm glad they took the tough approach, and not the flashy-cute Festool approach!

Ok did some testing, and here are my results. First I want to mention, that for those of you who have read my reviews know that I like to push these tests to the limit. I choose to test this way because I get quicker results, and I'm not a patient person.
I bought a package of 5 bit's, one from ®Milwaukee, and one from ®Dewalt. Models are;
2" ®DEWALT DW2022IR5 5pc Impact Ready™ #2 Phillips Bit Tip.
2" ®Milwaukee 48-32-4602 5pc ShockWave™ #2 Phillips Bit Tip.
Both 5pc packages retail for $5.97.
I started off using engineered materials. This way I could speed up the breaking process, waste less time, and get more consistent results. I used 9 1/2"x 1 7/8" LVL material. I used ®GripRite 3" exterior screws.
So how does ShockWaveâ„¢ technology work?
What does ®Dewalt say about Impact Ready™ bits?
Here is a sample video of the testing done by me. I zoomed in close, and shot in HD, this way you can hopefully see everything that's going on. Make sure you adjust your settings if you want to view the video in HD. Also make sure you crank your volume!

As you can see from the video, the ShockWave™ bit's did not hold up very long. On average I was only able to get around 12 screws per bit. I never actually broke a ®Milwaukee bit because the tips simply gave out. They didn't wear down, they simply bent over. See the pictures below.
With ®Dewalt Impact Ready™ bit's I got on average of 25 screws before each bit broke. I did have one rouge bit that surpassed 25 screws, and never broke. I got 32 screws before the tip simply wore down much like the ®Milwaukee bits. The other 4 snapped off.
New ®Dewalt and ®Milwaukee Tips.
®Milwaukee ShockWave™ bit after 12 screws.
®Dewalt Impact Ready™ Bits after 12 Screws.
®Dewalt Impact Ready™ bits after 25 Screws.
In my opinion ®Milwaukee bits need a stronger tip. I don't believe the ShockWave™ technology works, and if it does actually work, then the weak sauce tips are the problem. I've used cheap no-name bits in the past, and seen this type of bit wear. I highly doubt these bit's are made of premium materials. Enough complaining~ I did manage to find one thing I liked about these bits, and that was fact that they are magnetic.
The ®Dewalt Impact Ready™ tips held up much better! If I was a consumer shopping the aisles and I was shopping simply by appearance, ®Milwaukee has it hands down. The bits look cool, and that's about it.

I think Sony in general has been a proved to be a viable battery for the PT industry as a whole. Makita and Hilti have been using them for awhile, however both have been using the oxide version of Sony batteries.
-
Yup.... I have a feeling they've been out awhile.
-
-
....They are both so small, and so powerful.....
Anyway, my 2 cents.
Dewalt's 12v max impact still has more torque than the PS41. The PS41 has 930in lbs, Dewalt has 950. As far as length goes, Dewalt is still using a canned motor in the 12v max making the head longer than Dewalt's 18v DC825/6/7. If Dewalt does a 2nd gen like Bosch has, and uses a frameless motor like it's big 18v brother, then the length will shrink dramatically, as well as a boost in power.

The clamps are designed to slide inside the rail on the bottom of the track. The clamp can then secure itself to whatever surface that's underneath, pending it has an edge.

Most jam-pot designs have a metal case where the gearbox goes, that does not necessarily mean the transmission is better designed, or has fewer plastic components. It just means the metal case is protecting the transmission from outside abuse.
With DEWALT's XRP5 drills, DCD9** series the Metal case actually act's as the transmissions gearbox. A true all metal design.
Check out the "a look inside" board, you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
If your making a comparison between Milwaukee's M12 drill vs all others, I think it was a nice gesture for Milwaukee to make it a jam-pot design, however it's a 12v drill. It's not needed, nor is it necessary.
Dewalt's 12v Max has two electronic boards involved with the safety, one small board inside the battery, and another inside the Trigger Switch. The electronics prevent damage to the cells via over-discharging, temperature extremes damage to the drill itself, etc...

It will be interesting to see where the market goes, Sanyo has new ZT batteries coming out. Almost twice the m AH rating over the current SAX series used by Dewalt, and the energy density doubles. All in the same size cell.
Milaukee and Ridgid are already using similar technology in the Red-Lithium and Hyper Lithium cells, only made by Samsung.
Specs from Sanyo.

They are giving away tools that they have recieved from Advertisers. Nothing down the pipe yet from Dewalt.
-
This month? Or for next month's drawing?
-
I could see it being useful to run a laptop or charge a cell phone, etc. Maybe even run my coffee maker while I'm camping. Maybe we could see a new line of DeWalt tools, "Guarenteed Campsite Tough".
Who is with me?
Lol.... maybe TTI will scour this site and pickup on it and add it to their 12v Max line!
-
Everyone's got to at least feel like they have a fighting chance!
GEEZ! -

Check out the review on the I-Drill Oscillating saw HERE from TOOLSINACTION.COM.
They will announce the winner in this topic February 1st!

Did anyone ever explain how Hilti get's away with it? (3-speed transmission)
GEEZ!
