Size definitely matters, as demonstrated in this video from Real Tool Reviews:

Not sure what the point actually was, but I think everyone needs to understand that at some point, everyone makes a choice on what manufacturer to go with, and if you invest heavily enough in that brand's line, it would take a lot to make you switch to another brand. I've been using DeWalt's 18V (I'm in the UK) XR tools for 5 years now. I own most of the 18V XR line at this point and recently invested in a few FlexVolt tools and batteries as well. I am 100% happy with all of my tools and what I've seen and experienced with FlexVolt so far has really impressed me. There is nothing in the world that would make me go out and buy a cordless tool from Makita, Bosch, Milwaukee or any else at this point. I own half a dozen each of the DeWalt 4AH and 5AH batteries, plus a few 1.5's for flashlights, the impact driver etc... I've bought the majority of my tools bare so I don't end up with the ridiculous amount of extra chargers that I don't need. It's a good system and I'll never change now, even if I wanted to I'm too heavily invested in it at this point for that to be an option. The 54V grinder is by far my favourite tool, to have that much power in a cordless grinder is immense and it has made my job a lot easier. As soon as the 54V SDS Max comes out in the UK I'll be buying that too. Looking forward to being able to leave the 110v and transformer in the van when I need to drill 22mm holes for conduit!

I've had mine for almost a year and I love it; definitely the most used DeWalt tool I own! I don't even use the radio in my van any more, I just keep this on the passenger seat and play tracks off my phone through it because the sound quality is so much better than the speakers in my cab. About 4 or 5 months ago, it stopped working off the wall charger. I've tested the charger itself and it is fine, so the problem is with the charging circuit in the stereo unit itself. Since then I've been running it off a 5AH battery which I charge externally. Bit of a PITA but it still works. Anyway, I'll be returning it under warranty this week before my 1 year runs out. Unfortunately I forgot to register it within 4 weeks of purchase for the 3 year extended warranty. This will be the first DeWalt item I'll have had to return so I'm hoping the process goes smoothly. It has no date code or serial number like a normal tool does, so I'm a it unsure about how I can register it on the My Dewalt site. Anyone have any suggestions on that?

Ah, you're an owner of one of the amazing Toughsystem racked vans I've seen! Very nice, I love your setup and would love to do the same with mine some day, but wouldn't do it with my current one, would need to change before I do anything that extensive. I'm hoping to get a Caddy early next year, but there are a lot of other major things that need to be done first - like rennovating the workshop!

That makes sense, thanks for letting me know! I'd be happy enough to cut up the standard box that the D25124K comes in to fit it in a DS150 box. I'd love to see some pics of how you did yours. I could also have a foam insert CNC cut for it like some of my other tools are going to need, but I'm holding off on that for now until I have most or all of the cases that I'll be getting inserts cut for.

Hello all! I'm looking for a new mains voltage SDS hammer drill and am spoilt for choice with the DeWalt range, but I'd ideally like one that comes in a Toughcase with an insert, like my DCK290L2 drill/driver and impact driver twin pack. At the moment I'm using a Bosch GBH 2-26 DFR 2Kg drill which is doing the job, but I want a slightly more powerful one from DeWalt so I can give the Bosch to my brother and have one that comes in a Toughsystem box to fit in with the rest of my gear. I'm beginning to replace all of my tools with DeWalt ones or those that will fit into Toughsystem boxes. So, does such a drill exist? Thanks in advance!
