Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. DeWalt and SB&D make their decisions long before tools are sent out. They don't change packaging and kits. I am always telling DeWalt what should be done but it's too late until the next generation. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

He doesn't work with DeWalt. Just reposts things. There is no DeWalt event coming up or I would be going. There a bunch of releases coming up this summer. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Where did you see that posted? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Nope. I have nothing going on with DeWalt. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That would be my guess. I don't think it has much vibration at all. The power head is fantastic, motor constantly 'downshifting' when power is needed. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It could be that Festool makes its money off the tools and cuts people a break on the batteries versus the normal margin. Other manufacturers tools are a lot less money and maybe they make up for some of the profit to be earned on the batteries. Just thoughts. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That is a great question. I'm honestly not sure. I will reach out to my contact at EGO and see what they have to say. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

The EGO Power head has a 10" chainsaw attachment and it's pretty impressive. I've never used a 130R so I've no more knowledge there. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It is a triple hammer sibling. Same base Mechanicals. Not sure if it uses the same motor or not. I'll be opening it up to compared to the triple Hammer I opened up. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It is made in China, just the same as the Hitachi triple hammer impact. I have a whole slew of impacts for comparison. Most of the top dogs including the phenomenal and current favorite Makita TD171. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Better brushless 18v circular saw: DeWalt or Milwaukee?
The.Handyman replied to aabee's topic in Power Tools
No, it's a full redesign with new large frame brushless motor. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
In my hands now! I am impressed. And I love the selector wheel approach. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Not a single unit that has a 1/10th the power eh? I doubt you have tried the EGO models, especially the power head model. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I hear you on the extra batteries but what I'm getting at is for the price you can get a much much better mower with a better battery and charger. It would add one more charger to the wall but that's not a big deal in my mind when you have a much better product. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So you feel it was worth the cost even though you had supply 2x 9.0ah and chargers to really get decent use from it? Not to mention the very small bag and propensity to pinch the handle cable. All while the EGO kit is same price for a better built mower that lasts 3-4x as long on the included 5.0ah battery and recharges in 35 min on the included rapid charger.

The new Milwaukee Fuel 7 1/4" is quite large and heavy. It was smooth though. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
Makita has specific saw blades made for the track saw. There is a non-ferrous blade for metal cutting available. Look through the blade offerings at tool nut or Home Depot website as well as the Makita website Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I found the build quality to be average. I was underwhelmed. The EGO mower at the same $399 price point with 5.0ah 56v has a much better build and come with a fast charger to keep you mowing. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I saw them. Nice addition. Much needed. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

M18 super Sawzall will be available in July for $399 kit price with 12.0ah. Purchase this with an Acme July 4th sale code if it applies and get a great deal. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
Not likely coming. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I agree. Milwaukee is an excellent marketing machine. DeWalt is very old school, spends more advertising on Nascar and rodeos. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

My sources have stated there will be no DeWalt event this year, just rolling releases through the year. They are done trying to show up on par with Milwaukee NPS. We will see if I get any information from my media contact. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
