I think NER used the Makita drywall gun for subfloors. The dewalt probably has the torque for it too if it had a longer selffeed attachment.

Looks like a short drywall cutout tool. Ridgid might start outdoing Makita with odd tool releases seeing as their brushless lineup includes: Drill, Impact, Impulse, Miter saw, Circular saw, and Router. Not only that but the miter saw and circular saw use the same blade diameter which is also the same as on their latest brushed circular saw. Ridgid is now the lottery of tools *facepalm*

It makes a great concrete vibrator though.

Some people have used what I believe were replacement anvils from old brushed models to convert new brushless impacts to 3/8" drive

Remember temper on the section you're grinding doesn't matter because its in the handle. You should be able to protect it by just dunking in water to cool every time you notice the water from the last dunk steaming off. Its quicker to cut off the tang with an angle grinder or even dremel.

Looks almost like a recip blade cut down. Maybe you could make one with a few minutes on a grinder.

Their battery platforms too

They have one naina.

Did they stop threading and start slipping at any point? A phillips bit is fine until it starts slipping so the same might apply with self feed spade bits.

Large diameter hose is always better unless you dont need much power and fitting it into tighter spaces is more important.

Isnt that four mode including the impact driver and hammer drill modes? If you want a non-impact screwdriver a drywall style driver works great.

You overpaid by $11.99

The capacity listed is really the max you can do without a lot of trouble. Remember milwaukee demoed the yet to materialize 1-9/16 cordless hammer with a 3/4 bit which is less than half the size. Even though theres only a 12% increaze in bit diameter thats a 25% increase in hole area and the hammer has nearly double the impact energy. Running an underpowered rotary hammer is miserable.

I saw something similar with a router. I dont think anything can throw more wood chips than a router lathe. This looked a lot cleaner.

The low end christmas special versions that lowes is still stocking.

Not really sure how to describe this. Compare to a normal bolt and see if it spirals the same way or opposite way. Looked like right hand in the picture on ereplacement parts but its hard to tell from that view. Edit: Brain fart. You can tell the threading by which way the blade spins. Should be right handed.

Its incredible the things you can patent these days. I wonder if thats holding up the other 6.0 packs.

You know Mafell is red

Looks like that spindle nut is just a standard 5/8-18 maybe low profile. You can pick up one at home depot. If its left hand thread try https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L1L8RUC/

For outside cut the conduit at a steep angle and hammer it flat for a nice spike you can stick in the ground. There are some other fun uses for pointy pieces of conduit too

I dont think any non-rechargeable can still be considered a competitive light. You can argue their utility (but please dont) but for day to day use its an absolute pain. As far as light output this is actually one of the highest output focusable flashlights around. You really cant compare adjustable and fixed focus lights because the focusing mechanism sacrifices a lot of light plus it can't dissipate heat as well. A better comparison is Coast lights which have similar output, led lenser lights which have less, or maglites which also have less. The big question is what charging capabilities you have at work. If I had a pile of M12 batteries and a charger on hand this would be a great choice. If there was a pile of 18650s or alkalines I would use those. But in my case theres always a microusb nearby so the best choice is something with a built in charger and microusb port. Dont go bashing this because you need to buy special batteries. Its for the people who already have them and they feel the same way about the special batteries for an 18650 flashlight. tldr; if you don't like it stfu

I dont have one but if its like any other brushed circular saw it cuts ok but not for very long.

Actually almost every corded tool uses a brushed motor that doesnt care if its ac or dc. I believe AVE ran a hypoid saw on 9V batteries. In fact dewalt should be able to make a 60X2 port that runs dc capable tools. The problem with an 18V dual source miter saw is the 18V power supply which would need to supply upwards of 50A. Think ten laptop power supplies taped together. The brushless motor controller could be made to handle 120V natively but again its expensive

A dust deputy would probably be highly benificial. You can always go with the warning cone model for cheap. Ive also gotten around hepa issues by using a spare hose to send the exhaust outside.

Kato is right on 3/16 pilots. With lags I go with top speed but usually much larger lags too.
