South Korea is not cheap at all! Their GDP per capita is higher than Italy which is a G7 country.
Right… but they’re also big into manufacturing. A ton of small shops/factories where you can get custom fitted suits for $300, CNC embroidered patches and name tags for half the price in the States, bespoke shoes, etc. My wife and I can both eat out for $10.
Just because the country is wealthy doesn’t mean that the manufactured goods are expensive (besides their electronics, of course).

I’m finishing an overseas tour in S. Korea where manufacturing is common and cheap. There’s a bag manufacturer here that has agreed to produce a carry bag for the 102” tracksaw guide rail at $110 per bag. I should have the initial prototype in 2-3 weeks.
It’s designed to hold one rail on each side with a soft padded fabric on the inside. DeWalt logo embroidered on the outside, or anything else as desired. Extra pocket on the outside for clamps and a loose piece of fabric in the center to separate the rails from rubbing.
Anyone interested in padded protection for their long guide rails? I don’t think that I’ll make this a business, but I could do a limited production run based on interest.

Can this be used for bulk loading fire caulking from a 5 gallon pail? I'm also using a follow plate going through about 15 gallons a day
I don’t think the sausage tube can be used for bulk loading. The plunging rod head doesn’t form a watertight seal with the casing. Seems like it’d get messy fast.
That being said, I have all the kits to swap between sizes on my gun and especially love using sausage tubes with it.

Attachment to many of the cordless tools use quick connectors now. The cordless sander, flexvolt miter saw, tracksaw... tools used inside that a bag would not collect dust well enough. So the portable vac is useful and a more secure connection is desirable.
-
While waiting for the Tough System vacuum to be released, if it ever will be, I modified a DCV580H that I had on hand to accept the universal quick connector. Cut off the end of hose because it’s glued to the attachment and screw on a DWV9000 ($19.75). Then use a DWV9170 ($11.99) to adapt the existing wands with a male quick connector.
I use it for job sites without power for my chop saw and to clean stud bay corners. Dewalt has a decent assortment of vacuum attachment but very little guidance on what works with what.

If it’s the same as the 40V, which is also a 16” bar, it’s an R56 chain.

I’ve done a bit of bright smooth shank +3” .131 just fine with a DCN690. I tried ring shank 3” .120 but have had issues sinking the last 1/2”. I’m going to try 2 3/8” .113 ring shank and see if that’ll sink flush.

I’m sure my wife will agree to keeping it on the vanity to dry the countertop. 😂

No a 4 AH 60V battery would be able to do more work than a 4AH 40V battery because Power is a function of the square of the voltage. P=(V^2)/R, and Work is the integral of power delivered over time. So equal AH batteries, hence all else being equal, higher voltages will last longer/do more work than lower voltages.
Well, yes. But the point is that all things are not equal. The batteries are vastly different sizes.

All things being equal a 60v tool would have a longer run time than a 40v tool.
Not so. Even with a high amp hour 60v pack, just look at the size of a 40v battery. It simply holds more cells. Maybe if you compared a 12ah 60v to the 4ah 40v it would be comparable...

I have been wondering the same thing, why wouldn't you just go with the 60V versions of the blowers/weed whackers, lawn mowers etc?
That’s fine... and I would have gone full blown 60V, except they released 40V a few months before Flexvolt was announced. 🤷♂️

Are the 40V tools being phased out already? The Dewalt website looks like it’s removed the product line.
-
I have most of 40v tools despite not being a landscaper. I appreciate the runtime. I may have gone for the 60v analogs if they had existed when the first 40v tools came out. Only complaint with the mower is that it’s a push mower and not driven.

I have 3x 2-drawer boxes in my garage...🤔 I really need the 3-drawer more though.

Great pictures 👍 If there was a tough system vac I would already be posting my own pics!

I was digging through Woodpeckers OneTIME tool archive and remembered this discussion never produced a resolution. Woodpecker seems to recycle their limited tool releases about once a year.

Mine was delivered yesterday. I second that the doors, and especially the door latches, feel cheap. Otherwise, it’s a nice piece of gear. My better half is already hot on selling the electric space heaters in the garage. It would have been nice if the light, and maybe the fan, had different settings. Press the button a second time and the light dims, for instance.
I’ve never messed with propane heaters. Does anyone leave their tanks connected during storage?

I’m putting this on pre-order. I didn’t even realize that this was something I needed. Hope Dewalt doesn’t also delay this release because I do have another house to rewire this spring.

I like that dust port

Has anyone bought a wall rack recently? Are people still breaking these brackets?

I got the worm drive saw over Christmas.

You guys think we’ll ever see a FV pressure washer?
I’d really appreciate one. Or a 40V OPE edition. The wife keeps trying to get a cheap electric one off Craigslist.

Does Makita make a bag that’s long enough for the big tracks? I searched and only found 59” bags.
