The DCS575T1 kit dropped $50 here and had a spare 2.0/6.0 tossed in. As of today I have no Fuel saw and have a badass yellow ??⚡️ circ saw ?.

Yep, I knew you meant the updated 6.5 but it's still not an XR. The 20v XR saw that I expected to be the 6.5 ended up being the new 7.25 unfortunately. I didn't anticipate the brushless blade left 60v to be "rear handle" like this...super excited about that.

I'm not anticipating 4000 mAh 20700 cells for a while; Bosch and Dewalt are just using 20700 cells in their high end batteries; are the Festool Airstreams? Milwaukee is still on 18650, as is Makita, and the last attempt Milwaukee made to leap frog the competition took a year and a half to hit the market. Moral of the story is I'm trying to enjoy having the latest and greatest with the 3.0/9.0 FlexVolt batteries and M18 HD9.0 lol.

The 20v circ after the minor 2015 update?
No, the blade right 7.25". The 6.5" blade left is brushed, not XR.

Lol! That's hilarious.
-
It being a hard K definitely threw me off at first but I watched some promo videos when I initially read about the brand because I'm a stickler for proper pronunciation.

I'd heard blade left was coming, figured Makita wouldn't the only one with that style for long and I'm still sort of surprised by this lol. Very cool.

does quiklok work with any bit of correct diameter or do bits have to be specifically for quiklok?
Only bits with 7/16 shank, which doesn't even cover the full spectrum of augers.

Just not very versatile and lots of people will tell you accessories can fall off reasonably easily. Think of the places you use a right angle drill and you can see why that could be an issue.
-
Yep the Hawgs come in bags. Mainly because the Super Hawg is what, 2' long? Keyed chuck on the Super is definitely the way to go, likely the way to go on the baby pig too but if you're only using larger augers then it's likely fine with Quiklok. I see the quiklok ones on promo more, leads me to believe they aren't as popular.

Surge plus mid torque is likely a better combo. Compact 3/8" might fit in there too but that is a down the road gap to fill I think.

As someone born and raised in a small town that's nice to hear @Conductor562. Sounds like she's lucky to have such a good community around her.

Nice video @dwain, your praise of this unit means it's worth checking out but aside from a paltry display of seemingly low-end stuff at Lowes, I've yet to see Hitachi in Canada and this thing probably costs dearly. If I worked in dirtier exterior conditions I'd be sorely tempted though. In fact, if we still did our manufacturing how we did two years ago I would be tempted but the work is significantly cleaner now (thankfully).

You're a good man @Conductor562, good on you for fronting the cash. Those situations are almost always nightmares. No beds for the kids...some people's priorities...?

Happened upon a deal on the FlexVolt circular saw. Been jonesing for it for a while. Quite excited to get it in my hands. OT is being cut out at work for the next while so I had intended to keep my Fuel 2731 (which is fantastic) but I'll likely part with it. Luckily the deal on the yellow is good enough I'll end up with a stronger saw for free and some cash in hand.

Good luck comp!

@aabee what's wrong the the layout of it? It's 4 speakers and a sub plus a passive radiator, has louder and clearer sound than my Bosch PB360C, while the suitcase style design makes it much more portable. Pretty much has to be the size it is, and overall volume of its form factor is pretty similar to other radios in its class.

Lol @Cr8ondt the 2654 has been out for what, 4 years? So yeah, my comment could apply to the 2753, the 887, or the new Makitas ?

@jrk_indle84 it has more power, a nicer handle, and is smaller and lighter.
-
Plus he can replace his 2653 with the 2753 and fall in love all over again lol. Gave my 2753 away because I have a DCF887 and feel there could be a 2760 Surge in my future ?.

Lol @KnarlyCarl I've pulled back onto the highway in manual rather than drive (which is limited to 1st gear unless you consciously adjust it) so I revved my Chevy to 4k then wondered what the hell was going on ?

You mean you guys don't slam your transmission into park when you want to get out of your vehicle quickly and efficiently? ?

The installation and electrician's pliers are both extremely pricy, so I'm not likely to pick them up. They look great though (it's Knipex after all). Anyone notice Knipex has lanyard-clip versions finding their way to suppliers? Must have finally realized NWS exists.
Flexvolt price reduction
in Dewalt
Posted
Initial rollout of FlexVolt showed off tools more powerful than Milwaukees offerings. Milwaukee responded with the 2720 and 2731 kits with 9.0 and Rapid charger for a great price. Bonus 9.0 included with mitre saw and SDS Max also helps market penetration of the 9.0. The new FlexVolt price drop puts a fast charger, tool, and 2 batteries in the hands of people for the same price as the Milwaukee deals. Now that FlexVolt OPE is shown off the M18 kits are having a second 9.0 tossed in. Consumers win for once ?
