  1. Just put my new 20 Max kit into a hard case I had from a DCK470L.  It actually fits everything nicely.  The circular saw fits perfect with battery.  The reciprocating saw fits only without a battery.  The drill fits good with battery, just a little bit off in its cradle, and the light also fits perfectly, with no battery, and charger does as well. There is even a couple spots on the left for a 3.0 and 1.5 battery.  I am thinking of cutting or melting into the plastic to fit my impact drill in place of the light but i'll hold off until I order the Brushless model since it might fit a bit different.

    I know this is not a big deal but I thought I would share for the hard case lovers.

  2. I had this problem on a DC988.  I just got one of those rubber strap wrenches and put it around the dial, and cranked it til it turned over to the hammer mode.  Worked fine after that.  Might not be the most professional way to fix things but did the job.

  3. So this might be possible...or not?  but since the new dewalt 20 volt  batteries are slide pack there could possibly be an adapter made to turn it into a battery for 18 volt tools as well? The only problem I could see you running into is the 18 volt side clips that hold it in place.

  4. So when I saw this subject  pop up in the forum I clicked on it and had this fear that the picture would show  the Dewalt lines of 12 and 20 max tools rebadged with the fatmax....kind of how the Fatmax metal leg sawhorse is now the Dewalt metal leg sawhorse... EXACTLY the same, but changed the red accents to yellow.(and a few other hand tools had this change as well)  *SO* glad that this did not happen in this case and they do look like black and decker tools.

  5. Home depot has had this for over a month so far and if giving it away if you purchase the 718 saw...offer ends on the 4th though.  It is listed to be a miter saw stand as well as planer stand.  I have not checked the dimensions but it should be for the dw734/33.  It is made to be folded up and have the saw be attached.  ONLY thing I *HATE* about this stand is once you mount your saw, its stuck on there.  If there was an easy removal bracket like on their dw723 stands that would make this an awesome and complete stand.  I just am very bothered that you must unbolt it from the stand to use it without.  I almost want to find a busted up 723 stand, cut the part that the saw brackets attach to, and mount that to this stand to make the saw easy to remove.
