It's either a die grinder or a personal massager.

Not much for DeWalt. I'm really considering getting some festoon tracks so I can use their accessories. Especially the parallel guides.

Here is the DeWalt one that's available. https://m.store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=3056593&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=(ROI)%20SSI%20-%20Bing%20Shopping&utm_term=4579603368820907&utm_content=Career%20-%20Technical&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Ddewalt%2Bt%2Bsquare%26form%3DAPIPH1%26PC%3DAPPL

I am unaware of any square for the DeWalt track that is consistently accurate. I had the one from DeWalt and it was never square to the track.

Are you referring to the drill/drivers on the left? Keep in mind there are numerous model numbers for those DD's. Even more now with BT Tool Connect.

Answered my own question.

Is this a 20v concrete nail gun (ram set)?

Yeah. I figured that. Just enough to make contact and friction and heat with take care of the rest during operation.

The 40v has tremendous runtime. I use one battery to weed eat, trim and blow my whole yard. Corner lot with sidewalks. With the new Automotive Charger, 3 batteries should be more than enough.

You could easily charge batteries in the truck. DeWalt offers a 20v vehicle Charger. I use it regularly for my batteries.

It's a good line. I have 2 trimmers, 2 blowers, hedge trimmer and chainsaw. I've been pretty pleased overall.

Anyone know if it is going to be 20v or 60v?

In a pic promoting the Flexvolt compressor.

I have the 12" EGO and it's nice. My only complaint is that it lacks variable speed and the motor seems to bog down with any real torque applications like heavy brush or hard edging. If I can't modify the DeWalt to accept a blade for blade edging, I am going to get the EGO powerhead system with blade edger attachment.

I haven't used the 60v yet. My brother has it. Maybe we'll see how well they handle against each other. Like I said, AvE inspired me and seeing the crap that he unveils, it appears to have become a necessity. Additionally, I picked up a second trimmer CHEAP. I'm going to see if I can't make it a blade edger.

I've been inspired by AvE and have randomly been tearing in to the wear areas of various pieces of equipment to do a little QC to ensure longevity. I pulled the gearbox and motor assembly apart on my 40v string trimmer and I am extremely disappointed. The grease is cheap bulk grease (almost lard like). The amount of grease from the factory is so minuscule that the centrifugal forces have pushed the grease to the outside of the housing and the gears were bone dry. I'm going to give it a good cleaning and put some quality grease in a sufficient quantity that the gears will always have contact. I'm even brainstorming if I should put a zerk fitting on the housing to periodically grease. There isn't a seal to seal in the grease in so it's possible the grease has gradually worked its way out during heavy use and hot temps. But I doubt it due to the quality and viscosity of the grease at ambient temps. Just a little heads up for OPE users.

It MAY be infringement. However, the only way they will pursue action is if you are either making money from the sale of their logo or if you do something detrimental to their brand. There has to be some type of monetary penalty for them to pursue you. Worst case scenario assuming the above isn't happening, they send you a cease and desist letter. That's a Loooooong shot.

Mine works fine but if I recall, tracking was a major problem in an extremely large number of units. People could not get the belt to track properly.

Sharkbite?!?! Temporary repairs/mock ups and exposed fittings are the ONLY situations where these should even be remotely considered. Even then, I avoid at any cost.

Something like this?

This is a quick explanation.

The picture is very pixilated. Can't see much of anything on it.

They don't currently make a belt sander. They had one a while back that was a horrible failure and they never made another one. I still have it actually.

You could get a set of fiber cement shears and save your lungs from the dust.
