It was a good birthday season, got a blower to go with my string trimmer. Small oversight on my part though and I'm sure it's been covered before but my 3.0/9.0 from the trimmer doesn't fit in the 20v blower.
The 9.0ah fits. I use it all the time. It's a tight fit. -

I am in for one.

I seen Metabo has a new table saw coming out. It is a 10 in unit with integrated stand. Thing is it is cordless. Can use 2 18v batteries or a 36v battery. I don't know if there is an 18vx2 unit and a 36v unit or if its one saw that accepts both batteries.
Same saw accepts 18x2 or 36v. It's cool but it will be a while before it comes. Where is Metabo sold anyway?-

Thanks....not much use framing,with those m12 wrenches but look handy for a mechanic...def use the impact wrench 899. at work installing truss locks,lags ..but the 899 is no longer king............man I hope Dewalt brings it's A game next month...perfect opportunity to expand its line of 20v and 60v max tools.....a barrage of tools would be killer...
DeWalt has a lot of 20v and 60v to release. You shouldn't be disappointed.
Now if I can just get them to invite me.-

Doesn't the hackzall vibrate like the Dewalt compact recip...?
It does not. I have the brushed version. This claims to have much less vibration than the brushed.-

What I got from today.
Milwaukee had zero answer to FlexVolt and has decided against updating battery technology for now.
Milwaukee furthers their amazing lighting solutions. Plumbing and electrical trades get some fantastic updates. Carbide, carbide, carbide!-

I agree with you [mention=51398]The.Handyman[/mention], the DS130 is not meant for that abuse; I carry lightweight stuff in mine, while impacts and sockets, Sawzalls, etc are in a DS150 which should be notably tougher. They are 2 years too late for me as I already have hundreds of dollars of ToughSystem but for a small setup I may be tempted to grab a few boxes and a tote; I love that compatibility. Also love the versatility of so many sizes vs standard width of other systems.
Im anticipating them being priced in the Systainer range if RedStick is anything to go off of lol.
I agree. They look great but just too late to the game for most.
I bet they will be pricy.-

M18 Fuel Mud Mixer. Looks like a futuristic take on your typical corded drill used on mud. Looks ergonomic.
M12 Air Snake compressor for clearing clogs. 50 psi.
M18 Fuel Hackzall
M18 Fuel 7.25" dual bevel mitre.
MODULAR STORAGE SYSTEM Dropping cinder blocks on ToughSystem, obliterating the box. Bounces off the red version. Easy to use recessed latch; one touch connection like Systainer instead of plastic crap yellow latches.
M18 Fuel drum cleaner
M12 Fuel ratchets 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"
gen 2 M12 Fuel drill and impact
carbide Big Hawgs that can handle "hundreds of nails"
m12 soldering gun
m18 heat gun
m12 power source v2, charges m12 via USB as well as powering other devices via USB.
I was not impressed with them dropping the cinder block on the ToughSystem storage case. The case they used was the cheap case made to meet a budget. It didn't have the extra lid webbing and pressure release valve.
I would like to see the Ridgid Pro Tool box tested as well.
The new Milwaukee storage does look nice and I define see a lot of potential for growth. But, are they too late to the game? It will all depend on pricing. DeWalt's 2 solutions have been out and proven with minimal issues. What has an issue DeWalt replaces.
FlexVolt has nothing to fear so far!

Revealed or on the market?
The way it sounded from Toolaholic, Milwaukee was skipping 20700 and going to 21700 but that wouldn't occur for another year or so.
Doesn't mean they couldn't have some made for the show to reveal.
We will see in 6hrs!
-
Confirmation of biiig 21700 cells means all of a sudden can't wait to give Milwaukee more money lol.
These won't be for another year, NPS 2018 at the earliest.-

FlexVolt 9.0ah is just the beginning. There will be a 12.0ah and a 15.0ah. So much potential energy with FlexVolt.
Also, yes, the FlexVolt table saw had to be released in a smaller blade format due to safety rules. The table size has to be a certain size dependant on blade size. DeWalt's needed more time to develop the bigger saw. The 6.0ah batteries were all that was readily available and they wouldn't cut it in the 10" saw.
This safety regulation is also why the Metabo cordless table saw is just a concept still.-

Dewalt is supposed to release a jobsite fan in July
does anybody have a good pic / model number yet ?
thx

It is a nice saw however I have only used it corded, no since using batteries when powers just a cord away.
It has more power when on the batteries plus it just sounds meaner. -
Home depot has the Dewalt DCN660D1 kit on sale for $249.99 worth grabbing if your in need.
Eligible for $20 off $100 DeWalt purchase, automatically adds this. But it only allows for 'from store' delivery at a cost of $79.-

Well now we know why it was so quiet. There is something wrong with the gun
When he tried to drive bigger lags the gun would just stop and it never made an impact sound. He will be turning it through Amazon and buy another one at HD.
They don't really make a normal impact sound.
If trying to drive too big of a lag, it will just stop or cut off. This means it has reached its working load limit.
These are not meant for big lags or bolts. Mine will drive any lag I've tried 4" or less. Depends on the wood. I use it mainly for cabinetry, finish work, and installations.-

The 20v 7.25" slider can cut a 2x10, just tilt the board up to finish the cut.
I have no idea when the 20 volt brushless update is coming. I have heard absolutely nothing. I do know that 10" FlexVolt saws are coming.-

Ridgid and Ryobi are X2 so that means Milwaukee is next.
I don't see a table saw from them coming. They have very little experience in that department and the market shares a very small with DeWalt having such a fantastic saw. I do not see it being worth the R&D money that would need to be dedicated to bring something to Market. -
I nearly got one the other day, but after reading all the reviews on Amazon I changed my mind.
Don't go by the reviewers on Amazon man. Those are very skewed by people not understanding the concept.
This oil-impulse driver is fantastic and very powerful.-

dcb206 or flexvolt batt?
in Dewalt

The 6.0ah XR pack uses 20700 battery cells which are bigger than the 18650 battery cells used in the 5.0ah 20v pack and the 6.0ah FlexVolt battery pack.
This equates to better runtime under heavier loads, such as that in your saw. It will give you a bit more power and runtime.
The 6.0ah XR is a great battery. The wider base is nice for the cordless nailers as it gives a wider base to set on.
They are $159 for a 2 pack at Lowe's.
