I think this one *is* smaller than the 16g, but it's still a battery powered nailer.
-
Anyone expecting it to be tiny hasn't been paying attention. It uses the same flywheel mechanism as the 16g and framer. I'll be the lab rat if you guys are hesitant haha I plan on ordering one as soon as it's available for us northerners.

I think worst case scenario; blade binds, snaps, your recip jumps and you stab the hand that holds the front of the machine. Probably unlikely but I've seen some meat heads on Sawzalls and making them less foolproof is a surefire way to get someone hurt.
I'm not holding my breath. If these come out and work great, I'll wipe the egg off my face, eat crow, and happily spend less money on recip blades. Until then I'm firmly off the hype train, where I've been through Fuel nailers (that are made of the same stuff you put in brown bags and light on fire on front stoops) and patent infringing tape measures.

Adjustable shoes have a lever and a slide. It isn't rocket science. They are durable as hell. Our Sawzalls at work and my Fuel Sawzall take a licking much better than the yellow fixed shoe POS' at work and everyone there treats them like they're disposable...I'd take the red every time and Dewalt will have to turn over more than one new leaf before I waste money on a recip from them. Just my opinion. These gimmick blades aren't the ticket to SBD getting cash out of me. Now a 120v Max 10" table saw on the other hand...

Yeah, I remember reading this back in February in some university papers. Not sure it's ready for prime time yet but does sound pretty cool. Pretty amazing to still be revolutionizing things in your 90s.
That said, Tesla gigafactory is going to be pumping out 20700 cells so we will see what that means for prices re: economies of scale.

Sawzall blades are USA and industry standard. These blades, to me, seem to add fragility to a blade style already known to be easy to break. An adjustable shoe would do the same job. A for effort, C- for execution.

Unless you're epileptic. Nice pile of red though ⚡️

What is the most common use for a brad nailer on a roof?

Yep @Hugh Jass that connection looks like garbage but should be a nice light unit like the 660, and able to stand up, so the brace is necessary for the straight magazine I guess. Pretty sure a straight 16 is coming and will likely be similar.
-
I don't expect any of that soon aside from the track saw.
For people who use glue guns every day, should they just replace a crappy one regularly, or hope for a higher quality solution while making use of a crappy one? Doesn't seem much less professional than a portable little fan; especially one with the low CFM of my M18.

hmm....
I only saw one product. I'm guessing you will make other threads on other products or post more in this thread?
The 18g stapler, flooring nailer and 15 gauge are expected monthly after the 18g comes out, and in that order. There's also the new concrete gun.

It is 2500 @KnarlyCarl, that's what I meant by "would be" the real deal lol, 3000 with orbital would really fly. If Milwaukee doesn't reveal a Fuel Super Sawzall this year based off the 9.0 with orbital I'll be both surprised and disappointed.

Workshop addict did a video on this machine, I think they mentioned power and runtime on a 5.0, I can't quite remember but I'd check it out if I were you.

I regularly use mode 2 to remove lugs and mode 1 to snug them up again, then finish with a torque wrench. A quarter turn or less gets my Silverado lugs to 140 ft lb so I'm happy enough with mode 1. It's weak, and I'd prefer it was 200-250 ft lbs but oh well.
Stated torque ratings depend on the thickness and thread pitch of the bolt. More surface area = more friction = resistant to the impact hammering.

Better have Ridgid CFM instead of M18 CFM.

The problem with the 996 kit in my eyes is it's horribly overpriced compared to the M2 and P2 kits, both of which have crazy sales or bare tool toss in deals all the time. There's also basically no point in time I would choose to have a FlexVolt battery (or M18 HD9.0) on a drill (or impact depending on which battery in your kit is dead), just like I wouldn't want an X2 Makita hammer drill lol, too much bulk.
Re: FlexVolt recip lack of an adjustable shoe just makes it a complete write off for me. Hook would be nice (when I'm tearing stuff down it's nice to be able to easily keep it at arms reach and out of the mess), but with the short stroke of a recip and cost of blades if I'm cutting thinner material I can get 2-3x blade life out of a blade using different sections of it with my Fuel. A penny saved is a penny earned. Plus, despite its big batteries and 54v motor the Makita BL pair have a longer stroke and the X2 Makita is stronger anyway.
-
That's ridiculous...so in exchange for your boot do you also lose 20v Max compatibility? Or is it the 996 situation with different battery style kits?
-
-
The 996? Not sure why that's available in the 6.0/2.0 kit with 887.
Re: SDS, isn't the 293 a 20v Max and the SDS Max FlexVolt only? Are there more I'm unaware of?
The string trimmer has a noticeable power bump over the new Fuel on 9.0 so I'd be surprised if that's old 20v Max with some lipstick.
Dewalt recips suck so I don't even pay attention to them lol.
-
As long as Milwaukee and Makita are using 5.0 in the majority of their kits I think you'll see the 6.0 kits stick around. I'd much rather see kits with a single 9.0 than a pair of 6.0.
-
Which 20 to 60 conversions are you talking about specifically @Hugh Jass
Large circular saws
in Dewalt

To follow up on what Jimbo says, we have a monster Makita beam saw at work and it's awesome. I'd definitely recommend it.
