I use the compact XP almost exclusively, my 2 corded DeWalt's haven't been used in about a year, but once in a great while I use my brother-in-laws Ridgid x5 (there is something just beastly about orbital mode!).

A black battery doesn't mean old, it means "standard" and yellow is "premium". Look at the Flex, 6/2 batteries.... black, 9/3 yellow. The coloring also carries over to the chargers too.

Love me some Bosch bits!

And....a Porter Cable 692 as well as a Jessem Rout R Lift II to go in my brand spankin’ New Kreg Router Table I just got a smoking hot deal on. Expensive week but the router and the Kreg complete router table kit and switch were too good to pass up. More pics to follow once I get the lift and table assembled.
Shining example of one of the few unbastardized PC tools remaining... You sir have a fine router there.

Guy I worked with for a bit had the DeWalt mig hammer..... he bent the shaft.... I myself have a 22oz Stanley antivibe and a 21oz Hart fiber axe handle(quite long, like 18.5" or something)

Nope it's a HP Omen..... Snagged it for crazy cheap a couple months ago for $500 on clearance at Wally world, i7 7700, gforce 1050ti, 1tb HDD.... It was just begging for that lil SSD.

I have and use a DCD985 for poking small holes in concrete, is it fun... Hell no, but it works well enough. When I have a lot of holes to make I barow my uncle's Bosch mini jackhammering roto smashing SDS beast(FYI everyone needs an uncle Bob!).

Just to toss it out there... Excluding DeWalt and the new Bostich nailer line, All SBD 20/18 lithium ion batteries are INTERNALLY the same. Stanley Fatmax, Porter Cable, Black&Decker, Bostich and Craftsman Bolt-on batteries can be, with minor case modification, interchangeable. This will clearly void all warranties so I'll add do this at your own risk. (I have modded B&D batteries to work on Porter Cable tools with NO trouble what so ever)

Here it is 😀

HAHAHAHAHAHA funny you brought it up! We just had to suck some blown in insulation(and a lot of animal leftovers) out of an attic to get rid of smoke the smell and got the HF dust collector to act as a vacuum for the job.... 12 12' bags filled and it worked like a champ! Now obviously this is NOT the intended use for it but I can say that it passed an extremely serious torture test. I think I have some pics on my phone I'll try to add later.

That'd be the Tstak, thought I saw Q1 2018... not sure though.

I haven't(don't think I have) bought alot of tools this year but my power tool standouts are the DeWalt XR recip and Ryobi 18g nailer, Hand tools would be the surprisingly handy Knipex Cobra and 18" long handled 21oz Hart hammer.

I hope these introductions mean Ryobi may be attempting a comeback, but re-hashing old products to go brushless isn't enough.
Actually updating the line up with brushless is exactly what's been needed.

I buy recon Ryobi stuff mainly because Direct tools sells em so cheep, and Ryobi is my supplemental tool line, I haven't bought any recon stuff for my main tools though, I might if i needed to.

Not a steal of a deal and I've seen em cheaper but not bad for Knipex in retail....

Why didn't they use Dewalt 20v batteries? I would worry about SBD supporting this line long term.
That baffles me too. I bet minor modding would allow cross compatibility (void warranty). These are also stocked at Lowes.
-
Meh 12V tools are of ZERO interest to me. I can't think of a time where I said "man I wish I had a weaker tool to get my job done".
-
There's an OK deal on Bostitch 20v nailers right now... free 4ah battery with nailer purchase. I can only extrapolate the deals on these based on the DeWalt counter parts as they are so new but they seem to be exactly the same as DeWalt.

Bostitch/DeWalt same parent company(Stanley Black & Decker) and chances are both compressors where made on the exact same assembly line. I have a couple year old version of the Bostitch and use it often to roof, frame, trim, and fill tires, it's served me well. SBD overlaps many of their tool lines and this is just another example, generally the DeWalt brand is their "pro" construction and wood working line and Bostitch is their "better" pneumatic nailer line. I personally would go for the package that offers more for the money in this case the Bostitch, I'd also have you look at a Porter Cable kit( again, same company) to see if you can get more for the money.

Nice work, and while yes 20700 6ah packs are available, they are rather new and not everyone has some( I do
). Your conversion adds a 3rd row of cells which should give you a small but noticeable bump in sustained output.

I really wonder what happened with the higher capacity batteries. Home Depot just wasn't willing to buy them or what?

Well the lil M12 stuff is defiantly cute. And I'd say that to any man that showed up on my jobsite with those and ask where his pink apron was.
