Initial appearance is they will. I haven't checked yet.

I'm keeping it. I didn't plan on putting anything heavy on these. If I do, I'll swap these lighter weight brackets over to my custom built wall rack and put the heavier duty ones on this rack. It's not a major deal honestly. 77Ford and I have been using the heavy duty brackets for a while and assumed the brackets would be the same. We are probably over analyzing it. I'm sure they're fine. If they're not, I'll make DeWalt send me the heavier duty ones in exchange. [emoji16]

They definitely FEEL cheaper. Look at 77Ford's pic above. The metal hinge and he sheer size.

It died finally. I'm assuming the compressor motor went. It sounded like the RPM's were falling, I heard some arcing and then a good puff of smoke came out of it.

They don't. It's made by Baccus Global

Haha. These are Motorola prepaid phones.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I did pickup a few cell phones from HD this afternoon for 1¢ each. Maybe a truck is next.

I plan to.... I may try to take it back tonight while it's doing this.

Yes sir. First time to use it.

Well, my brand new DeWalt jump box, compressor, inverter may have bit the dust. I was testing the compressor by filling up my truck tires and it went haywire. Screen went dark, compressor kept pumping and the unit went unresponsive. It's still making this awful noise and I can't get it to stop. I'm going on 20 minutes of this. There was a slight burning electrical smell at first but the smell has dissipated. It's 45 degrees outside so not sure if it may have overheated. No fuse to remove, no way to shut it off. It had a FULL charge so depending on the draw of whatever is running, this may go on all night. The current noise is no where close to what the compressor sounds like when running. This is two disappointments from DeWalt in 24 hours. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35] https://vimeo.com/195052954

Yes sir.

It's quite disappointing actually. I was stoked about getting 5 pair with each Tough rack but now I'm not so excited.

I'll get some tomorrow. I just threw it together tonight while the kids were bathing.

Initial Impressions: Seems to be well built for stationary use. I have a few reservations if you were to mount them in a van, box truck or trailer. The biggest disappointment is that DeWalt re-engineered the DS Carrier brackets. The ones that come with this kit are much lighter weight and do not have the large pin to secure the brackets to the square posts. I can see how they managed to sell these as kits with 5 pair of brackets that normally run $15-$20 a pair when bought individually. Part of the re-engineering is the brackets have through holes so you can secure shelves to the brackets. The racks are modular and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to stack units on top of each other to get taller units. I would be a little concerned about weight if you went too high. Overall: worth $100 as long as you don't have crazy expectations for them. I wouldn't plan on stacking 5 boxes loaded with heavy equipment or hardware. I may order 2 more to set them up as a large single wall unit and put a shelf across a few of them for batteries and chargers. Still thinking of the details.

Or just buy the full kit from Home Depot for $479 with competitor coupons.

That's just the bare tool.

Yes. I think it's not practical because it's not as vibrant in light. Something to do with the color spectrum.

I'm dying over here! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

1299 for the green kit 999 for the red kit up to 2000 feet 649 for the red kit up to 1500 feet

Comes in a T-Stack box. 250' indoor. 2,000 ft with laser detector.

I can justify paying more than $0.44 for them. [emoji23][emoji23]

Picked up the bench charger last night. I have initial mixed thoughts. It's very lightweight, light gauge housing. Only comes with one set of leads. The second set has to be purchased separately to take advantage of the dual charge capabilities. The features are fantastic if they work as advertised. I'm going to look for some old batteries to test out. My diesel truck is in the body shop so I can't give it a good testing this week. Once I get my truck back, I'm going to do a little testing on both units to see. The units are all built by the same company and the other units that are branded CAT, Stanley and B&D all have positive reviews.

I wouldn't say they've pushed them to the side. The lasers are still using 12v platform as well as all their diagnostic tools. Maybe we will see some movement with the 12v Max line after Flexvolt cools off a little.
