how would a set of noise canceling work? You don't necessarily hear anything but could the noise still damage your hearing even though you don't hear it?

I see 40v ope staying for quite awhile because of the run time. a 7.0 battery or however much it is at 40v may be more beneficial to an ope pro user than the added power with the 60v. Could also go the other way. The ope pro user might rather have the extra power of the 60v than the run time of the 40v. Would depend on the user.

could use hearing protection? Or are people too cool to protect their hearing?

Anyone want to talk about CPO?

well at 100% charge I heard it outputs 20v but at low charge its only 18v. Not sure how true this is.

Im not in any rush to get my tools so It might as well take this long considering all the discounts and free stuff I got

Factory Authorized hasn't shipped either

same price as most other places if I remember right It wasn't really by much DeWalt stuff and was the only Flexvolt I saw

Seen my first Flexvolt in the wild. It was the recip 1 battery kit, still in the box though. I seen it at Big G, Ace Hardware. I was unaware that Ace was gonna sell Flexvolt.

I suppose I'll go again. I would like to see a digital fence for table saws, bandsaws, etc. Also a digital stop block system for miter saws. Essentially there would be a display telling the user the distance from blade. If user moves fence or stop block the display updates the distance. The user can also set a distance and push the fence/stop block close to the measurement they desire and the fence/stop block automatically precisely adjusts to correct distance then locks. Also in the miter saw version if you don't need a stop block especially for quick cuts you can just fold the stop block down so its not in the way.

Only the compact packs are supposed to work. The 3.0 and higher shouldn't work from what I've heard. Only the 1.5 and 2.0 should work in them. I have never used one before so I don't know what actually works.

if its 18 volt dewalt I suggest upgrading to 20 volt and brushless

actually makita has something like this. Its a drill, impact, hammer all in one. heres the link. https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XPT03 As for the blade health all you really need would to have a scan mode when you first instal the blade which would be a super powerful camera with great closeup capabilities and also has high speed camera capabilities. The blade would do a slow rotation so the camera can scan it then it will allow for normal use of the saw. When running the saw the camera could help determine if the blade is running like it should then every so often maybe every 50 to 100 times the saw gets turned on it will do the scan mode again to do a more in depth blade evaluation.

Doesn't Milwaukee just have limited warranty? Doesn't limited warranty only fix issues that include defects or problems caused from the factory? Didn't think wear and tear was covered.

I had an idea of a game where you name a tool. It can be any tool whether its pliers, a hammerdrill, or even a wide belt sander. It can be any tool you can think of. Then once you think of a tool you gotta think of a feature not currently in that tool from any company. Also please explain your wanted feature if its not very straight forward. I suppose Ill start. I would like to see a health sensors on table saws. It would essentially tell the user blade life, motor status and determine if the belts are in good condition. You could just connect you phone to the saw via bluetooth and you get all the tool status via an app.

You mentioned brushes, so even if it were a cheap, easy, or whatever fix it may be in your best interest to get a brushless model because of the motor gets hot less quickly, it has better runtime, and is more powerful.

I like how whirlwind is bringing flesh technology to tools other than tablesaws. I think all tools need some kind of safety measure to prevent harm to the user. It doesn't gotta be flesh sensing or as fancy as say SawStop or Reaxx. Theres always going to be a chance where a user gets in a rush and forgets to use proper use of tool and/or use proper safety measures and looses a finger or gets hurt in some other way.

he was actually the one where I heard about the finger sensing add on to table saws. Seen pictures of it on a bandsaw, scrollsaw, and lathe. So maybe it adds safety to these tools as well? http://www.whirlwindtool.com

At school I had the opportunity to use one of the Bosch orbital sanders and it worked great. The tool had a nice balance even with the rectangular dust extractor installed, the variable speed was a handy feature because you could lower the speed for removing scratches quicker, and it had a trigger and a trigger lock so you aren't required to hold down the trigger but have the option to if needed. I suggest not getting a palm sander but instead get one with a handle on the back. Also variable speed if a must.

I would like to own a Powermatic table saw with built in router table. I heard their table saw is one of the best.

I thought higher voltages heat up less quickly than lower voltages and a reason being they are more efficient?

It was a what if scenario and I said it was same size as current flexvolt battery. I suppose a super fast charger would need to be designed so it don't take all day to charge or just design a battery that uses more advanced technology than lithium ion.

If the Flexvolt was 60v at 9.0 amp hours instead of 2.0 in a package the size of the current flexvolt, would it be gameover for high demand m18 tools until an m54 comes out?

In regards to cutting drywall boxes I heard oscillating multitools do a good job. Could be an alternate option to a drywall cutting tool.

I don't know laws on solar panels but would buying your own then finding tutorials about install and maintenance still work. Might be free power if you don't have to sell to the power company.
