  1. Here is my take on the situation: The tools you have been testing with your adapter are relatively low draw tools. I can work with my driver all day with one battery. I would love an adapter for my dewalt table saw. It eats batteries. The problem is, the size transformer (and related electronics) to run a high draw tool (like the table saw) would be big. Too big to fit into a battery case. I don't know the specs, but the table saw probably draws 35-50 Amps on startup (on 60 Volts) Thats an arc welder sized transformer. A 30 or 40 Lb "adapter" is no longer convenient. Also, The newer cordless tools are drawing more power than a standard household outlet will supply (albeit for a short time). Remember, an outlet will supply 1800w continuously. The battery powered tool can draw more, because there is no breaker to trip. (grossly oversimplified).

    Battery Adapter

    I have the dewalt to ryobi adapter. Works good for me.I use it on the glue gun, and the shop vac.
  3. electric power washer and the power station works
  4. I always keep it fully charged, and have another complete set of batteries. I have never run it long enough to run it dry, let alone have to use the 2nd set of batteries. The reason I bought it was because it takes longer to find electric, and roll out the cord than to do the damn job.
  5. I have used mine as a cordless core drill, with a garden sprayer for water.
  6. I have used it for a few things. First off, I am almost totally cordless. So I have very little 120v tools. Here is what I've used it for so far: 1. Powers a small welded to repair railings. 2. Will run my boiler at my house when power is out. 3. Ran my jackhammer to break up 2 sections of sidewalk 4. Ran the small electric mixer to replace above sections of sidewalk 5. Ran my HVLP sprayer to spray some steel doors 6. Powered a commercial sign (big lit sign by the street) while I was working on it. (The timer/switch was inside a closet, in an office, about 700 yds away. (beat the hell out of walking back and forth a dozen times) 7. Runs a kuerig in my van.
  7. I love mine. Have even run a small welder off of it. Have no complaints. Yes, you must have 4 batteries for it to work.

    Ridgid Heater

    I think you are confused.. Its a forced air heater. (most people around my AO call it a salamander). I has to have propane and a power source to work. The power source can be a battery or 120v cord.
  9. HOWEVER, if you don't dump ocean water, or bleach into your battery... You'll be ok. Does that basically sum it up?
  10. Is it a regular 8 1/4 blade, or some proprietary blade you must buy from DeWalt?
  11. meh, sent mine back. Was just poor. I am a huge Milwaukee fanboy, but they really screwed the pooch on the nailers. Went back to paslodes.
  12. yes, years ago. And they suck.
  13. Have a store color match the red. Paint over the 10 1/4 saw section Have the local vinyl guy cut some custom white vinyl with the tool you want.
  14. I have both the corded one, and the cordless. (older, not the fuel m18) The cordless works just fine. I cut all types of angle iron, uni-strut, threaded rod, rebar. It does just fine. The corded one doesn't see the light of day anymore.
  15. Cordless table saw for sure, I'd settle for an 7 1/4. M18 trim router (fuel?), for hinges and such. The dewalt inverter/generator thing looks interesting, but I don't know. Fix/update/re-design the existing nailers a cordless 23g pinner a cordless framer
  16. It doesn't seem as if One Key would matter to you. I think One key was a poor idea for Milwaukee, and I am a Milwaukee fanboy. I just don't see anyone who wants or needs it.

    m18 9.0

    I have used my 5.0 on my SDS max and noticed no difference. I use the 9.0 on all my tools. I haven't used a 4.0 on the SDS max yet, and I don't own anything smaller.
