  6. Why you like and dislike these hammmer

    in Hand Tools

    Posted

    I have the Dewalt and use it for demolition and "adjusting", it takes a beating and there's not much bad I can say about it, I find it plenty comfortable for the price. If you swing all day then Stiletto is the way to go but for a average guy I wouldn't recommend it unless you have cash to burn.  

     

    Lots of carpenters love Eastwings but because of that they are the first damn thing to disappear on a jobsite, never to be seen again. I bet I've lost 10 of them when I was working on big jobs.

  8. Can someone tell me the difference.

    I insist on blade left.

    I put a FV battery on my 6 1/2 20v max saw.

    The difference is remarkable. It's like putting on a brand new blade when you're used to cutting with a worn out demo blade.

    You can really tell the difference on long rips. Higher rpm, more power.

    Before any geniuses pipe up about 20 volts is 20 volts, just shut up.

    It's a different saw when you put a flexvolt battery on it. The same is true for the 20v miter saw.

    It's easier to buy a battery than it is to get used to having the blade on the wrong side.

    1) It's well known that higher Ah packs produce more power in certain cordless tools. 

     

    2) The flexvolt wormdrive style is blade left, and is the one most of us are recommending, as is shown in the video above.

    For me it's the DCH293 for 20v Dewalt, and DCS577 for 60v Dewalt. Both of these tools have rounded out my collections that pretty much means I don't really NEED more tools at this point as a independent mobile renovation contractor. 

     

    That said, I want some more tools. :lol:

  15. DCH293 1 1/8in SDS Plus

    I did it was a great test. Worth noting that I never was able to confirm the differences between the DCH293 and the DCH333 outside of the 60v wiring. 

     

    I use mine all the time and it blows people away when they see me going at it with a cordless tool the way it does. I'd buy it again tomorrow if it failed.

    I understand why you think that but in all actuality having the water function makes it useful. Plenty of times I've run a grinder and wish I would have had this tool for sure. Demo is where this would shine. 

     

    That said, give me the 120v 12-14in. I'd pay $800 for that in a kit all day.

    I’d argue this is a bigger gaffe than the table saw; that table saw does everything you’d want in a table saw short of run a dado stack. This seems much more limited. 

     

    I'm not picking on the table saw for underperforming, but a 10in 120v is clearly the lion share of the market. 

     

    A 12-14in 120v cutoff would be a massive hit in the professional sector. No gas, and the electric options pop breakers like bubble gum on the job as soon as you add an extension cord.

    The water simply works off of the water pressure from a standard water hose, and that is the dust control. 

     

    I'm focking shocked it's a 12in saw though, I mean on 60v? The rotating mass alone is substantial. Gas units try to twist sideways out of your hand when you mash the throttle...can't wait to see it in use.
