  2. Dear Dewalt...

    Dewalt is busy making the same tools they already have but bigger and for a new battery platform.

    Lol yeah, so true, like the cordless 12" mitre saw, table saw, inverter, upcoming flooring gun, cordless stapler. You know, all the same stuff they already have but bigger. Oh wait. 

     

    Meanwhile Milwaukee gives us a less powerful mitre saw, a quiet impact (like Makita has had for ages), utility bucket light, and a new toilet auger. Tools for the everyman. I do want a mid torque impact wrench though ;D when it comes to working on a vehicle with cordless tools Milwaukee can't be beat.

    Just watched the video. Sort of tempted now. The FlexVolt would cut easier because it had smaller carbide, but they are all ballpark same price and Bosch goes through so many different materials, unlike @KnarlyCarl's experience with some brick and his Big Hawgs.

    Speedbores are tough, I've hit light gauge metal and drilled through by accident and it's still sharp

    Yeah, they are good, selffeeds really spoil you though lol

     

     

    Do any of you guys have experience with the daredevil version of Big Hawgs? Carbide like the FlexVolt ones but beefy for use on a ton of different materials. Can't find reviews anywhere and they are costly though.

    Never tried the Wood owls, I will have to order one and try it out. I agree on the daredevil paddles, that's all I have. I mean do I want a standard paddle or one that is self-feeding? Self-feeding of course.

    Yeah, I once thought the Irwin were decent for the money (dollar a bit), but using the daredevil paddles was a "never again" moment for the Irwins lol.

    I'm looking at getting some Big Hawgs. The switchblades are nice too. Hole dozers aren't bad but I don't care for any bi-metal hole saws really. Augers and general drilling I'm completely sold on Wood Owl. Bosch is reasonable as well; daredevil paddles. I'm looking at grabbing a few Nailkillers to try. With SBD acquisition of Irwin/Lenox I would expect Dewalt accessories to be on par with the aforementioned brands.

    They have routers, jigsaws, and sanders. The jigsaw and sander could be argued are for trades, but I don't see anyone dragging one of their routers out to a job site. They're made for shop production.

    I think the general sentiment was with regards to cordless tools, as far as cords go it seems most companies have almost all the boxes checked.

    Stack of 9s maximizes charge time, but realistically I think it's best to have enough batteries to just charge at home. Trying to play musical charge with 5s is a PITA I think, more time for it to sit on the charger fully charged while you're busy working, while other batteries wait in line.

    Mine is pre ordered. I can't wait for it to get here. I know that there are a couple of projects it wil come in super handy for.

    Awesome, you'll have the let us know how it works out! I asked my usual source today for a date and price but was told they asked Milwaukee about it today and haven't heard back yet.

    Do you have one? Set it to a moderate depth and you can stall a cordless planer fairly easily and they burn through batteries quickly enough. Brushless can add both power and efficiency. "Does it need one?" can be applied to literally any power tool, and if we wanted to be redundant about it we could say the same about batteries and just keep our extension cords. The M18 planer is more costly everywhere I've seen it compared to the brushless unit from Dewalt, and both are substantially more expensive than the brushed version from Makita. What does that cost get you with Milwaukee? Less power, red plastic and a white lightning bolt. For the price they want, yes, absolutely, it does need one.

    I would rather pay for a baby blade rather than a big full sized blade.

    Price difference isn't that substantial, capacity is higher, and motor doesn't bog down as easily as the Fuel does. How often are you buying blades?
