Ok its no secret we are all tool freaks here no point in hiding it
But lets be honest there has got to be that one tool you love using but the sound can be irritating sometimes for example, I was in a tight enough space today putting in some small lags with my impact driver and I forgot to bring some ear protection as using the impact driver in confined spaces is deafening but boy it is so grating surely I'm not the only one.
Another shout out would have to be the power planer just sounds like the wood is screaming for me to stop.

Should have went
Dewalt
Yeah they seem to be a bit of wobble. Is it noticeable when using the drill?

I'm sure there is something to this, a defective model or some underlining issues hope it gets fixed rapidly.

OK I had it, was ripping some sheeting today and the sun was beating down on me and I was sweating buckets to get a job done so the day was drawing to an end and I guess I was been careless while cutting and I cut my circular saw cable in half, I was so pissed off with myself
I had to rip another two sheets down by handsaw.
So having said that I put in a pre order for the Flexvolt Circular saw with 2 6ah batteries. Im going cordless

If you are going Flex.......CPO has a great deal going on with a free tool (Up to $269 value) when buying a DeWalt Flexvolt Kit at $379
That's a nice price but I have to import it and I don't think the warranty works over here in Ireland

Slick looking drill! What's the deal with dewalt's "nitro-carburized" chuck on the premium drill, what does that even mean?
Not sure but my understanding is that on the chuck jaws they are flat facets that help with drill bit slippage, I could be totally wrong.

Well my old Makita decided to call it a day and go to Valhalla. So Since I had multi Dewalt batteries I brought their Dcd995 beast. Next purchase will be 2 or more flexvolt batteries and their flexvolt recip saw.

Right now, using promo code "DEWALT20" on Toolup.com brings the price of 2x 6Ah Flexvolt batteries down to $159
Add another $40 of merchandise and you get free shipping. I'd be all over it if I lived in US!!
That's a good deal. Wish we had them offers here except its €186 for one or €320 ($357) for two

Its quite heavy its about the same weight of my milwuakee one key hammer drill. I clip the f/r switch sometimes if i dont pay attention but that happens on every tool i have 3xcept my hitachi. The drill feels like any other drill but my hitachi is number 1 in hand comfort. If i had to rate this thing 1 to 10 with my hitachi being 10 and the old 2604 fuel being 1 it would be a 7.
What model Hitachi are you comparing it to?

If you can get your hands on an old Record vice before Irwin brought them out, In my opinion the best made bench vices around. I still have my fathers vice which he brought back in the early seventies and still rock solid today.
Pick up something like this

These things have 30+ ga wire for the windings, i don't think I have ever seen any windings that have used wire this thick.
How does the drill feel in hand, never used Matabo before.

About €580 in the UK for the kits. Thats just with the grinder, circular or reciprocating saw with 2 batteries and charger
I might give it a miss for a few months the prices might drop abit.

just to clarify, I'm the guy with all the fancy tools and lots of knowledge......you left that option out...lol
Figure of speech......................Honest

I wouldnt worry OP any of today's tools are more or less on par with each other, knowing how many holes a drill can do over its competitor is nonsense etc how it preforms in the working world is whats important. Its also down to personal preference.
You can either be the guy with all the fancy tools and no knowledge or the guy with some tools and lots of knowledge.

Is it more or is the secondary handle looks like a piece of plastic thrown on? Looks odd.

You would think pretty much every other power tool brand does that.

Wow, that's weird that Makita doesn't sell their premium drill and impact driver as a kit together. I
My thoughts exactly, surely selling their premium drill and impact as a kit would make a great seller?

I've never seen the DTD148 or TD170 in any kit. Makita isn't very good about putting kits together.
Your not wrong there I can tell you.

Tools you love but hate that sound.

Like that ringing sound when you use an all steel hammer striking a nail.
