  1. Makita has a huge pile of great stuff. Tends to be pricy around me for their best stuff and batteries. Milwaukee makes up 2/3 of my stuff, long warranty and lots of trade specific tools. Dewalt makes up the other 1/3 of my gear, great tools and much more woodworker/general oriented than red. 

     

    @JimboS1ice FlexVolt is an additional platform but like @BMack37 mentioned, the M12/M18 dual voltage charger was my gateway drug into M12 so I won't pretend Milwaukee is much better in that regard lol.

    Super hawg has kick back protection in it, how much can the hawg do that a 2704 can't?

    If I was to guess I would say practically nothing. It's 1200rpm single speed is likely in between the 2704s two gears torque-wise with an emphasis on spinning 7/8" augers or thereabouts. 

  3. As far as I know the two speed gearbox seems to be the only reason the Super is so much bigger to begin with. Someone on this board mentioned a HD9.0 really wakes the single speed Hole Hawg up, I think you'll be fine with the little one. Big one is too damn long to store nicely imo but it's nice to have kickback protection.

  4. We'll see. Cool new housings don't mean much. The compacts already have enough power to hurt you thanks to no side handle. The DCF887 is pretty new. A 992/997 could be believable if they are trying to leapfrog Makita, Milwaukee, Metabo, etc. I'd definitely be interested in that.

    what is the 18/20 mistake?

    Burning people by releasing an adapter years and years after the new range has been out so instead of keeping existing customers in the fold you give them reasons to shop everyone and leave your ecosystem.

    Will be nice to see a comparison between one key tools and tool connect tools.

    appears as though a Bluetooth 6.0 is in the works. I wonder if the heavy duty drill has more power than the hammerdrill? It looks massive and the metal housing behind the chuck looks like it could withstand an explosion.

    DCF887, DCD791, DCD796 and DCD996 are getting the Bluetooth treatment apparently.

     

    personally not interested but progress is progress. As long as this doesn't take away from new FlexVolt I don't care lol
