Damn that's crap. Why is 110 volt considered safer ? It's not voltage but amps that kill you surely ? 110volt tools do draw more amps then 240 tools I think ?
This is a debate i see alot but dont fully understand so i stay out of it

O_o do all your tools have to be plugged into a 240 to 110 volt convertor ? Daaamn that's alot of extra hassle.
Yes they do on site. I stay away from sitework though so i stick with 240v tools it just means if i ever do get offered site work they wont allow my tools in the gate

Ow ?
You have 110 volts out of the wall plugs ?
No 240 from the wall so we have to plug in a transformer that ways somewhere around 10kg. And then plug our 110v tools direct to the transformer. A lot of bigger sites would have 110v power sources so rather than having to bring the transformer on them it normally means running 110v leads all over the place. A lot of guys in the private sector dont bother with 110v as health and safety rarely check on them and when they do its normally by appointment so you can be prepared

Not available in Europa because our corded tools are 240v and not 110 like in USA.
Ireland and the UK is different. 110v is required on site. Its a pain, means lugging around a heavy transformer all the time

is the 240v power station a different platform?
Im not too sure what you mean by 240v power station. Do you mean the one that takes 4 batteries? If so not available in europe along with the stud drill as far as i can see

120v isn't a platform, it is just an extension of the 60v platform. The 120v adapter comes with the saw so it's not like you buy it especially for a new platform, it is just an accessory for the mitre saw. It's not like you invest in a 120v platform you invest in flexvolt 60v and you get the capability of running 120v as an ad on
In europe it comes at an extra cost of about €150.

Looks like a powerful machine Dwain, something i need to add to my arsenal and i think ur video just persuaded me. Being wanting to get into the flexvolt platform also

Hi Turner. Yes I have also looked at dewalt. The bosch is coming in at 210 euro and the milwaukee and dewalt are around the 260 price tag. I'm consider all feedback. I just picked two brands one of which I have an idea of and the other is a large collection of tools.
I agree with you. I will be buying tools from the uk or eBay or even Amazon as they are so much cheaper online then local or national shops.
Nows a great time aswell with the exchange rates

Right now I am thinking the bosch drill because it is 60 euro cheaper. For diy and odd jobs this to me sounds the better option. Which drill would last over the years? Let me know about your drills guys. What is your go to combi drill?
My combi is the dewalt dcd795, have it close to 3 years. Never let me down yet although im thinking of upgrading to its big brother for drilling out locks in solid doors. My reason for going with dewalt was brooks building providers are registered repair centre. So i can drop them off and pick up without having to worry about postage etc.

Welcome aboard and have you not considered dewalt. Although i dont own the latest models myself they are getting great reviews here and elsewhere. Secondly look to the UK and save yourself a fortune. Only time i have bought on home soil is my mitresaw amd tablesaw just because of shipping charges
-
Broke my two fuel gauges on my 5ah's. Well this was at least what i thought was the reason for them stopping
-
Do these new packout boxes have the option to put on racking similar to the toughsystem, Huge plus in my books. I have never locked my toughboxes together just the radio to my ds400

Alright. I'll say it.
I know ur a festool guy chris. Was a hard choice between the two, but here in Ireland an extra €100 got me the mafell with an extra blade.

Stepped my game up

I mean if u keep a strong hand on your saw u should be able to prevent kickback, well thats me speaking from experience because i always just cut up my sheet material on sawhorses. And id constantly get the saw wanting to come back at me from the material either sagging in the centre. Anyway i stepped my game up since. I just ordered the mafell mt55 and im gonna throw together some kind of portable bench for breaking down sheets because this saw will be getting treated with love not like my makita
-
I currently own the makita, no real issues with it. Ive just let it get a bit beat up. So im currently in the market to replace it, im looking at the mafell, price gap between that and festool isnt much over here in Ireland. Main reason is the tracks. Ive never really being impressed with the way of joining on makita etc but if your willing to buy the 3m and can easily store/transport then makita and festool are great aswell. All have some features the others dont, so basically look at them and see whats more suited to you.

I believe that Europe will get the newest iteration of the flexvolt in the same form factor and stats, 1 1/8in, same impact and RPM. Don't ask me why they've done this, I have no idea.
Model DCH333.
That one is actually available at this time but ive still to invest in the flexvolt range. With some tools running out of warranty i might sell them off and upgrade though. Thanks for the review
