  1. Here is a few pictures of my new toy!!! and the one it is replacing!!!

     

    I got the phone call from James at my local tool shop, and I was there in less than an hour to pick it up!!!

     

    They received 75 units with 5 amp batteries and had 50 already on back order.

    In the time it took me to get to them to pick it up, the other 15 had gone!!!!

    I am so glad I pre ordered mine!!

     

    Just have to wait till Tuesday until I can put it to work due to it being bank holiday Monday!!!!

  2. Hi iang

     

    I have the first fix nailer and it will not fit in to the smaller T Stak II, but it will fit in to the bigger T Stak VI. 

     

    depending on what you want to put in with it, it will more or less sit in any orientation you want without the tool tray. But only one why with the tool tray inserted. This is with out any foam insert in place, not sure if this matters to you!!

     

    The box it came in didn't have any foam insert so it is a matter of personal preference I think.  

     

    I have it in with the tool tray. I use it to hold a few strips of most sizes of nails in so I all ways have some nails to hand.

     

    hope this helps!

  3. Yes!! I have ended up getting one after my DCH253M2 was stolen!!!   :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:   :

     

    I would recommend it to anyone!!!!

     

    Its run time is good for a cordless, but it does depend on what you use it for!! If you use a large drill bit then it will not last long!!

    I used it with a 7mm SDS bit fitting door frames, drilling in to concrete block and one 5 amp battery lasted me all day!! (example of off and on use)

     

    I also used it fixing bat straps off a wall plate in to a thermo block wall and I did 6 large houses and used 4 batteries and drilled close to 1000 holes using a 7mm SDS again (example of constant use)

     

    When I go house bashing I us everything cordless. Due to the fact that there will be no power in the houses until much later on. And a generator needs permits, a drip tray under it and spill kit next to it!!! far too much to keep carrying around and setting up. 

     

    The way I get over the need for a corded SDS in this situation, is to just keep buying batteries until you have enough so you don't run out of power before you finish or faster than you can charge the dead ones!! :D  

    I have 10 x 5amp and 2 x 4amp batteries for all the tools I use and that seems to do the trick.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I have a full kit of corded and cordless tools. I just tend to use the cordless more for the freedom it gives!! and the corded for the intense and heavy work! (where power is available) 

     

    what would you use it for if you bought one Turner85??

     

    Hope this helps

  4. Has anyone got any more info on the radio? like what is under the yellow lid on top? Is it storage for your phone or IPod while it is connected. or is it something else??  where is the battery connected?  Is it going to be available as a DAB radio?

  5. If Dewalt have made a radio to go with the tough system, what do you think the chances of a T STAK system one?? I only have a few tough boxes that don't really come out of my van. But I have loads of the T STAK boxes as I have transferred all my power tool in to them.

  6. With a little tweaking they could be noise cancalling ear defenders aswell as head phones??!!??

    I saw some Ryobi noise canceling ear defenders 6 mounths back that only cancelled noise over a certain volume, which meant that you could still have a conversation while wearing them! So put that inside these and make them Bluetooth so they conect to your phone!! Hell put a microphone in one on the ear pieces and you could answer calls as well!!!!

  7. I was in my local tool centre today and I asked when the cordless mitre saw was going to be available in the UK?

    He replied with " The cordless mitre saw will not be coming to the UK "  

    Does any one know any different? Is this right? And if so why not?????

    Makita has a 18v cordless mitre saw already available to buy!! So why can BLUE POO have one in the UK but not DEWALT???? 

    He also said the dam second fix nail gun will not be available until September now!!! That date just keeps on moving further and further away!!!! Not a happy man!!!  :angry:

  8. How is the Dewalt router box coming along??? Have you started making it yet??? KWC

    Really interested to see how it turns out!!!! Is that the DS300 or DS400  tough system case???

  9. AUGUST!!!!!! Nooooooo I need it now!!!!!! why August???? I know of 6 Joiners, well 7 if you include me who would literally rip the nail gun off the shelves as soon as it came out. Why wait???? Surely waiting another 8 months is just 8 months of none sales.

  10. Just spotted the new brushless 18v XR SDS DCH273P2 coming available in the UK soon!!!!

     

    I am a little annoyed as it has only been about 2 months since I bought the DCH253M2 

     

    Any way there seems to be a new belt hook added to the new one!! Something I could have really done with a number of times over the past few months.

     

    Still looks cool and I want one!! Just need an excuse for needing two SDS drills so I can buy one ;D

     

    Here is a pic

  11. That would be sooooo cool I would buy one the moment it was released !!!!!! ;D

     

    Others on site would be sooooo jealous

     

    I wonder if it will be released in 2015 with the rest of the cool stuff everyone is talking about!!!!

  12. Hi

    Sorry it has took so long.

     

    Here is the pictures I promised of my extractor with the dwv9500 vac rack installed and a few T-Stak boxes on!!

     

    Just waiting for a few other boxes and the T-Stak trolley to arrive and I am going to be transferring most of my tool out of there original boxes and in to the T-Stak system!!!

     

    the foam inserts are expensive to buy so I am thinking of using Kaizen foam. I have seen a few people on you tube using it and I like the idea of being able to fashion it to my own configuration, and the fact that it is cheaper!!!! but I can only find one website that will supply in the UK.

    Dose anyone know of an alternative or something better I could use that is more readily available in the UK ?
