I don't know if other brands have this feature but ford has a universal garage door opener built into their vehicles.

Some nails of the same size may be just enough different between brands that one brand works and the other brand does not. I would say get DeWALT nails if using a DeWALT nailer. You might be able to get away with Bostitch or Porter Cable because same parent company but I wouldn't chance it.

it is 5 day if it stays closed the whole time which isn't very realalistic

tough system is better.

These were not available in North America

Maybe check battery or if using power cord check to see if cord is receiving power. Other than that not sure if there is a reset.

Milwaukee's new Matrix Carbide bits they just released this year that are supposed to provide superior wear resistance in high wear screw driving applications, have been discontinued. Milwaukee claimed they were not a one size fits all kind of bit. They were designed for a very specific application and users thought they could use them for general purpose screw driving. Apparently there were lots of issues with bit breakage.

My Ego commercial trimmer arrived yesterday. It has exceeded my expectations. The torque is incredible. It doesn't feel powerful but when you do a task that would normally tax a gas trimmer the Ego maintained the same rpm. I couldn't even bog down the thing. The backpack battery took some getting used to but once I got the harness dialed in it wasn't that bad to use. It is built quite well. All metal trigger and all metal motor housing which most if not all gas units do not have. The carbon fiber shaft seems nice. Cut diameter is only 15 in which some say could be larger. I doubt I will switch back to 2-cycle equipment. The pros of the Ego outweigh the cons in my opinion.

not flexvolt powered is disappointing

the amtomic is similar to a dremel saw I seen a while back except runs off a battery.

I use .095 line and it lasts longer and I haven't had any melting issues but some heads that accept .080 do not accept .095 you will have to look at the manual to see if it accepts .095.

It is the best "tried and true" slider. Its only down fall is it lacks space saving rails which other saws are going to.

it is part of the atomic line

I actually just ordered a trimmer the other day too. I got the Ego commercial string trimmer, battery and charger. it is supposed to arrive on the 15th @Charlotte J. I have not used the Husqvarna but I have heard good things about the brand. I'm trying to move away from gas and go battery powered.

they are same price as some of the entry level 20v now

40v has longer runtimes.

I was considering getting a plow setup for my zero turn mower. I would remove the deck add the blade and I would be set. Might try to find some aftermarket treads similar to the Altoz trx so I can drive better in snow. I'm not sure if that blade will work or not. I'm not too familiar with blades.

No brand is able to be as accurate for as long as a Stabila because they have patented the process to ensure the levels stay accurate. Maybe another brand will find an even better way but for now I will stick with Stabila. I just got the limited edition 4 level kit which uses their more entry level style of design but I still trust it over other brands of levels.

With other brands like Ego, Echo, Stihl, etc. that focus only on ope I don't think DeWALT ever had much of a chance in the professional ope market. People who buy DeWLT ope generally don't buy into DeWALT just for their ope. They generally buy DeWALT ope if they already have other DeWALT tools.

this is a nice tool. I really like using it.

nice, @FlaveNico Welcome Back.

Gotta compete with Milwaukee

If you are only going to use it once or twice a year the borrow a cordless drill from a friend idea actually isn't that bad. If you really want to go cheap without having to borrow a drill you can buy a "no name" brand cordless drill for under $50

The cordless Vecturo, cordless grinder, and updated Kapex are coming later this year to North America and are available for preorder.

personally I think corded drills are not that great especially for the fine screw driving tasks you mentioned above. You can easily find a 12v quality drill for $100 or even less. If you charge the thing once a month you shouldn't have any issues with bad batteries. I would also say Ryobi is not a bad option. I have never used the one+ line but many people on this forum think it is great. It is literally designed for people who don't use tools much or those on a budget (sometimes even pros buy it). The quality is reasonable considering it is homeowner/diy grade. Also you shouldn't have any trouble with compatibility because the battery is still using the same stick pack design as it did 20 years ago.
