well the Bosch logo is red and some of their tools have red on them so in way the red shirt fits

I'll probably be retired by the time I get my flexvolt. I'm only 21.

A guy told me the radio is the most important tool on the jobsite. I'm not sure I would go to the extent of saying its "the most important tool on the jobsite" but I don't really got much say since I'm not much into having a radio on the job site. Sure I enjoy music but just don't see its value on the jobsite. It tends to be annoying, loud, and playing music I don't like. There's probably gonna be that one guy who wants it really loud and you cant hear anything cause of the loud music or your trying to talk to a guy and you cant cause of the radio. I could see using a radio if it wasn't deafening or playing distracting music. I'd consider myself in the minority. I prefer a volume quieter than average and I prefer styles/genres of music different than what is typically listened to on the jobsite.

I understand peoples argument for not buying flexvolt because you can't use 20v batteries with flexvolt tools. It's a legitimate argument even though Im not sure why you would want to use a 20v pack on a flexvolt tool except for the fact they are smaller and more portable. Lets talk Milwaukee. Milwaukee touts all m18 batteries work with all m18 tools but is this realistically the case? Sure you can put a 2.0 compact battery on the new fuel hd miter saw or other fuel hd tools and they will run but who actually is going to put a compact battery on a fuel hd tool? You get less power and less runtime. At the very least I could see someone using a 4.0 or 5.0 m18 pack on fuel hd tools but they still got less power and runtime than the 9.0. Do you guys think the ability to use any m18 battery on a fuel hd tool is a good argument for buying fuel hd tools instead of flexvolt tools? I'm just not sure.

someone said plunge/track saw in October. If it was Europe exclusive right now is something I don't know.

So are polls a new feature? The poll I made is the first one I've seen on the forum. Wasn't expecting this many replies on this post since its so new. Should be more fair comparisons if a 10 in Flexvolt comes out and a 12 in Fuel HD comes out.

Testing out the poll feature. Thought I would ask what the better/preferred saw is?

So I was wondering if I were to purchase multitool blades that do not have an open end to fit the Dewalt multitool could I notch/cut out one end to repurpose it into a Dewalt compatible blade?

Integra is the brand, good stuff indeed.
I was looking at integra. They seemed like good blades. The price seemed decent as well. The variety of blades isn't as much as some other brands but they got the essentials. I was interested in their bigger set. I think it was a 100 something piece set.
-
I seen listed in the new section on Dewalt's website the 20v outdoor power equipment. I'm guessing no?

looks pretty cool. Does it have fine height adjustment? Kinda like the router tables with the hand crank height adjustment.

till the release mechanism for the chuck stops working properly and you gotta use vise grip pliers to get the bit out. Had this problem using the schools xrp impacts. They have been used so much that the chucks were getting worn and hard to pull. wd-40 wouldn't even help.

the picture looks like a dcf886. wonder why it was listed as an 887

Hey it finally worked. I was able to log in as myself. It was quite strange to see I wasn't logged in as myself. Maybe it bugged?

Apart from company specific features like one key, flexvolt, and tool design, most tools are pretty equal in performance between companies. I think a lot of tool buying decisions are more just based on personal preference, word of mouth, or what coworkers may have.

I thought all Milwaukee fan boys were biased red users!

I know a "Milwaukee fanboy" who claimed their tools were more powerful than Dewalt because they were red in color. Also claimed longer warranties meant longer lasting tools. He basically said because Milwaukee had a 5 year warranty their tools would last longer than Dewalt because Dewalt only had a 3 year warranty.

I'd like to see a battery that you don't have to worry about going bad in extreme temps. Charge it at below zero temps, no problem. use it at 100f no loss of battery health. Obviously super extreme temps like -20f and 120f wouldn't be covered. Should cover most people in the world unless your in the super cold part of northern countries, antarctica, high elevation, or near equator equator. I actually take my batteries inside when its really hot out just to ensure their life isn't reduced. Might be a little too careful but it's not a big hassle. I only got 2 batteries and 2 tools so far.
Another thing that would be cool is to see cordless tools have full water and dust protection up to a meter or 2 should be sufficient and still function also have military grade impact resistance and shock resistance could be a nice bonus. Plumbers and electricians could really benefit from these tools cause they dont gotta worry about water damage or shock damage. -

I never use power tools or OPE without hearing protection. However, a 100 db tool is several orders of magnitude louder than a 75 db tool. In fact, a 32 db rated pair of hearing protectors, the best you can buy, will only lower the 100 down to 70, thereby making it just about as loud as the other WITHOUT hp. I'm thinking you'd have to double up so as not to kill your hearing and wearing ear plugs AND ear muffs is a bit over the top, imo.
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 don't foresee that at all Stripped. Way too many tools don't justify a 15 cell battery hanging off their ass end. Impact driver, 16 gauge nailer, compact drill and multitool being examples I have at home. Even a hammer drill/driver seems ridiculous. End up at 1500 in lbs in a tool with too little leverage and say goodbye to you wrists.
40v outdoor gear however I predict is dead, especially since the FlexVolt OPE has already been shown off.
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.

I was checking out Lowes today for some lumber when I saw the stack of backpack blowers. I've been seriously contemplating a BR600, so I figured I'd check to see how the big box models stack up. What I saw on the spec sheet was insane. The Husqvarna 360Bt says that it moves 890 CFM. That's embarrassingly more powerful than the mac daddy of the Stihl world that comes in at a paltry 677 CFM. Sure the Husqvarna will probably leave you deaf at 97 decibels, but the sheer amount of air that it moves will at least leave a smile on your face while you're losing you hearing.
Does anyone have any experience with this blower? Is it really almost a 900 CFM machine. The specs seem so far above the Stihl, that my skepticism isn't letting me believe it.
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

Christ even Ace got flexvolt before CPO did, doesn't get anymore embarrassing than this. What a farce.
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
m18 9.0

The dewalt 790 would work for a crew doing 150 or less cuts in 2x10 lumber (runtime tested by youtuber tool craze). Should be able to get a bit less than 3 times as much in 2x4 lumber. I don't really see somebody framing a whole house with it while its on battery power especially if it being used by a crew. I could see it being used for smaller jobs. A lot of guys are gonna want at least 2 batteries in the saw and 2 charging. I'm not sure how many cuts you guys and/or the average crew completes each day but if we figure the user/s have access to 4 2.0 flexvolt batteries a bit less than 300 cuts (using tool craze's numbers) a day in 2x10 or the equivalent amount of cuts in 2x4's or 2x6's would the saw satisfy your needs?
