I don't like the idea on either grinder. I don't care what colour it is.

Power. Torque. Spin. Go. Juice. Balls. Whatever word you want to use for "ability to get the job done" lol. I just find precision mode too weak. I can be more precise, yet use more power, using one of my Wera screwdrivers.
It's precise when its operating like a drill/driver. All precision is thrown out the window when it starts trying to rip your arm off like a Trump handshake.
I understand it's meant to be precise, and have very little power. The problem is it has about as much power as an M12 screwdriver in that mode, but depends on its impacting to get to that amount of power.
I would prefer to see slightly higher rpm/torque with impacting completely disabled.

The idea is nice but why re invent the wheel, just something else to break, not that hard to take it off
Yep, my point is they're all dumb in their own ways lol.

No, the grinder is great, the tab on that nut feels like a piece of crap and is a $30 CAD part. My point is they all have some fairly stupid features (I like the idea, not thrilled at the implementation).
-
To further what Jimbo said, not only does it turn extremely slowly (too slowly), it has no jam whatsoever to snug something up, and when it starts impacting it feels like it somehow reverses the mechanism and impacts your arm rather than the screw lol. I hate it, in case you can't tell. If I had to spin a really small screw through a piece of cardboard it would likely be sufficient for that ?

That's dumb... typical dewalt
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah, the little tab on my braking Milwaukee...that's a durable beauty ??

I haven't done that on mine and don't intend to. I'm fine using an Allen key.

They'll work but you'll burn through batteries quicker and have a bit less power.
-
Yeah but what will that adapter look like? Table saw only? Or will it be compact enough to turn DeBeast into a corded yellow Hawg if you want to use it that way? That would be ideal!

No one's arguing the tools aren't powerful. FlexVolt tools are obviously powerful. The argument is comparing accessories in a similar category (ie thin kerf 24 tooth framing blades) you aren't going to miraculously turn a turd into a diamond. If your site makes you more money if 50 items say Dewalt on it instead of 25 more power to you, congrats on the success, but my experience with stock blades and Diablo means I'll stick with Diablo every time (since Freud is a company that also puts R&D money into tooth rake, tooth count, tip design, stability and cooling vents, etc. etc.). If SBD was so sure they'd perfected accessory technology there likely wasn't much reason to purchase Lenox/Irwin.
This conversation has devolved from discussing Ford vs Chevy to claiming superiority of Esso gas over Shell. Actually it's gone beyond that to the notion that Ecoboost engines are specifically designed to run best with Esso gas ?

@Jronman a DS500 would be 20" tall. 500mm. The 300 and 400 are 12" and 16" respectively; 300/400mm.
Re: DCS575; the dust port is optional; I bought one. Aluminum shoe vs magnesium is user preference. I have few doubts that if I dropped my 2731 the shoe could crack; aluminum would bend at worst. My 2731 doesn't have a dust port either, it does have a rafter hook though.
i don't doubt we will see more FlexVolt soon. There's a reason companies don't announce too much before things are nearly ready to roll off the line. I don't agree with it but we only got a couple months heads up on the Makita hypoid, etc.
-
Haven't had this issue much but the connections on my M18 tools have similar play to the 20v Max and FlexVolt.
-
I really feel like Milwaukee is under fire lately. Makita creeping in on a lot of the cool tools Milwaukee hasn't had real competition with in the 10.8/12v category, while both Makita and Dewalt are making huge strides in 18v/FlexVolt. Very cool tool from Makita but I'm also surprised it sits flat with the compact rather than 4.0 packs. The M12 Fuel SDS battery position always seemed ideal to me.

Hopefully the midtorque isn't as weak compared to the Milwaukee as the compact is.

I have to agree I still prefer a tool that has a little weight to it. I know its probably all mental and I'm sure manufacturer are using new light weight materials that are just as strong. I like the feel of the 2753 over the dcf 887 because it feels like its built heavier in the motor and impact mechanism but in reality I'm sure the dcf 887 is probably just as durable and might be less fatiguing over a days work.
Of all the comparisons to make I don't think this one stands up. Performance, size and weight is practically indistinguishable on these two units. At least the ones I have. Basically comes down to the grip you prefer, the batteries you have and whether the one-handed bit change is worth having 2.5 speeds instead of 4 (come on; the 887 precision mode doesn't really count for much lol).

Maybe you've seen the FlexVolt power station? Slap 4 9.0s on that and take your little and go tailgate somewhere lol.

Their social media team will say nothing about anything that hasn't been formally announced. Sometimes they'll say "we can't say anything yet but keep checking this page", mostly about storage solutions, but most companies don't talk about stuff much until the press release is out.

Likely not. The CT m12 batteries fit in the handle, a slide pack adds bulk to the base of the unit. A second gen (slimmed down rather than powered up) M12 Fuel should be able to access many places an M18 can't. Should. Milwaukee likes to chase power though so I'm not convinced the M12s will go on the type of diet they could. More like a juice cleanse and steroid regimen knowing Milwaukee.

Unless I am misunderstanding DeWALT already has this. Buy a stand and place miter saw onto stand.
I suppose I should think of something that isn't expected for wave 3.
I think he was meaning take a 790 motor etc. and stick it to a table (saw frame) for the first hybrid big beast table saw.

Wildroamer has that SDS and I've yet to read a bad word about it. I'd have bought that screwgun if the Milwaukee didn't have autostart; the yellow was still tempting because the price is so good.

Well the obvious counter would be: Makita's 18V system is triple the size of Milwaukee's 12V
I was gonna say... 18v Makita lineup is pretty big too. Especially if you like impact drivers lol.
Makita is the obvious choice to me. I like my M12 stuff but the Fuel M12 stuff isn't very compact anymore comparatively.

The M18 surge is already shorter than the M12 Fuel. Even the 2753 is shorter, but the 18v are fatter. How much can the Surge design be shrunk and still be functional? The Surge is already limited power-wise, but works well for standard fasteners. How much power can they shave off and keep it functional; how much can the price shrink to make it worth buying a 12v when 18v is already so small and light?

Yep I jumped on this. Already had a 2731 so sold one lol.
What tools did you buy today?

Laser tip Wera are beyond belief when you first use them. Amazing screwdrivers.
Ordered the 20v Max brushless 3/8" impact kit w/ 4.0s. No use for it really, I have the superior Milwaukee version but I'm lead to believe they posted prices for bare tool and kit backwards; so if they don't cancel it I'll win lol. Plus I got a 2 pack of Diablo blades for a song.
