  1. So there's finally a review up for this saw on HD, here it is:

    "just got the saw in today . the saw is Great, but can not belive it only comes with one 3ah battery not too happy about that at all . you would think Dewalt would put a 4Ah or 5ah battery in it

    Pros: Accurate

    Cons: only one battery"

    I pointed out on this forum that the model number associated with the battery was 3ah, but someone here said that it wasn't shipping with the 3ah but the 4ah and it was a misprint.

    Seems I might have been right after all. Boo.

    So what's happening with yours? Are they being shipped yet?
  2. How I this saw for those that have used it. I'm thinking of purchasing it with the stand with the wheels on it. I have had my hands on one in store and love how easy it glides compared to the dewalt which I find glides terribly.

  3. So I purchased my combi drill and impact a couple months back but still need to fill up the accessory compartments in the carry case, so far I've picked up a Weisser pivoting bit holder, a wera set of bits that contains all the normal bits, pozi philips, slot, hex etc. I've also got the trend flip and drill and hinge centering bits. So what does everyone else keep, I'm hoping to purchase a few more bit sets myself, hss bit, wood up to 10mm, a right angle Attachment etc. Any brands you's would recommend?

  4. Does anyone know what to expect from this? I'm hoping to purchase some new tools if the price is right, but I've already been to a tool show this year with all the major brands there and ended up buying nothing because I could get them cheaper elsewhere. It was still a good experience seen and being able to handle the tools.

  5. I wish Ireland had something like Home Depot, you's get some great deals over there in the U.S. I've to buy all my tools online from the UK or pay over the top prices here at home. Never a great selection either, hard to find bare tools also

  6. First off welcome to the forum Turner! Are the Marples made in the UK still or are they outsourced to China now?

    I'm not entirely sure where there made nowadays, I know both my sets are over 5 years old and both have the word Sheffield on them but can't remember if it just says Sheffield steel or made in Sheffield. I'll double check that tomorrow
  7. Marples are they the go to chisel here in Ireland, I've been using them for the past 14 years for finish work. I've always one other chisel for rough work, currently the Stanley foldable one.

  8. Thanks for the welcome lads, although I'm 14 years in construction I'm only really starting to take it serious. I've owned a lot of tools over the years but never done any research till this year and would always just buy a mixture of brands and generally it would be makita as it was what my local suppliers always stocked. Well now I've made the change to dewalt I'm slowly selling off my old tools and investing in newer up to date tools. I've also just bought myself a new van, 2009 ford transit and am hoping to build myself some racking to integrate my toughsystem boxes, so I will make sure to let everyone know how that goes.

  9. Just joined the forum after stalking it for the past couple of weeks. Recently bought into dewalt just by chance when I was in a hurry for a new set of drills. 2 months later I've got there toughsystem with trolley, the dcn692 nailer and dcs355 multi. Next on the wishlist is the dch274 as I am looking to purchase all the brushless gear first in the hope they re-release some of there brushed stuff in brushless versions. Also hyped for some of the new tools I'm hearing about this week.
