I also store my batteries inside where it is temp and humidity controlled. I do what I can to not leave my batteries in hot areas like my vehicle. Sometimes you cant help it but hopefully it extends the life a bit.

SawStop is a good example. Also a 6.5 in miter saw? Seems odd to not just go with 7.25. I have never seen a 6.5 miter before.

Tried fixing up an old work table in my garage. I suppose I did alright for my first time rebuilding a workbench. I added casters, a shelf, and attempted to strengthen/resquare. I just hope my tools are square. I haven't done any "calibration" on my tools. I wouldn't know where to start if I did. I also put up some cheap light fixtures to give some extra light. I hung them off some ceiling utility hooks. Will next attempt to repurpose an old dresser we use in the garage as a second work surface.

snagged a couple Irwin parallel clamps, a couple around $7 light fixtures to hang from the ceiling in my garage, some 5000k 1600 lumen 100w equivalent LED's for the garage, and some Bosch/DeWALT counter sink bits. This week.

actual voltage, amps, watt hours, and cells are what matter

in the 7.0 core?

I heard Makita is going to 21700 cells like Milwaukee.

I wonder if we can add a drill to a wallet.

spent most of the week using gel stain with an artist brush to touch up trim.

I'd say a wallet is a tool. Could maybe fall under the storage category?

what is the Makita's watts? closer to the blade right flex saw?

those 18v nibblers in picture 2?

could it just be made out of the same material as the fuel gauges are made of? That soft plastic stuff? Maybe it would have space for 3 digits like what you would see on a digital clock.

Well if it was black and decker it probably was nasa but I thought the milwaukee tools with that giant box deal connected to them came earlier.

you can buy one but it does not come with one in the kit. The tstak is nice though.

@Satorikn you at all interested in what DeWALT stuff I am selling? I would be willing to negotiate on a deal if you are interested.

another thing to note not all vacuums are tool activated. It is easier to manage one "cord" than two so removing one of the 2 "cords" is a help. Sure you could tie the power and the dust collection together.

I'm guessing Milwaukee came out with the first cordless tool with that huge battery box which is connected to the tool with a cord. not sure who brought the idea to the table.

@Satorikn I just so happen to be selling a flex circ saw w/ 2 batteries, a dcf887, and a dcd996 if you are interested. all new in box. heres a link to my listing. http://forum.toolsinaction.com/topic/13045-attempting-to-sell-some-new-in-box-dewalt-tools/ If you buy the DeWALT red laser you could kinda say you own some red.

In our market all we got is Bosch Blue and some appliances haha. We don't have Bosch Green. The plunge saw is one tool we do not have.

@CATERPILLAR looks almost Makita teal in the picture.

Have you gotten a chance to try it out? It seems like it doesn't get as much credit for what its worth. Maybe because its not a Festool or Makita.

Yeah this a cheaper unit and reviews do say it is not up to par with premium units.

Heres my review of the DeWALT DCS520T1 Flexvolt Track Saw. I finally got to use my flexvolt track saw. First time I have used a track saw. I've only seen one used one time in person. Any other time has been from videos Many may not like this unit. I could understand but I think it does a fine job. I was satisfied with how it performed. In OSB the cut quality was great even with the stock blade. I looked at the edge to check for tear out and I didn't notice any on the good piece. The cutoff piece I did notice had some tear out. I expected it would have some because there is no tear out deal for the cutoff piece. Seemed like it had enough power at least for what I used it for. Will have to see how it performs on a 2x oak top I will be making soon. The plunge mechanism seemed comfortable and easy to activate. Dust collection does help with dust but could use some improvement. The rotating dust port is a bit stiff when rotating. It could be a bit looser in my opinion. The saw slides on the rails well enough without needing to use wax. I would guess wax would help but I feel it is not needed. The kick back feature works but I don'y feel as though it is needed. The dual sided feature on the rails is an advantage over other rails but also a disadvantage. You can use either side of the track but since both sides of the saw have the tear out strip it is a bit harder to square up the track. I use a combination square which is able to avoid the tear out strip and go along the metal edge. I don't see a t square or a rafter square working to square these rails because I don't see how they could avoid the tear out strip. Some may suggest using the Festool track instead. Might be worth try. The rail clamps work as expected. I find them to be a great clamp for tracks because they have a "quick grip" style clamping mechanism. For how I hold the saw, The battery does not get in the way. I like that this unit is cordless because you only have to worry about one hose instead of both a hose and a cord. pros- cut quality, cordless, comfortable to use, quiet, track clamps with the "quick grip" style mechanism, and powerful cons- dust collection, lacking a few features other premium units have like angle detents, scoring mode, off cut tear out guard, and toolless rail alignment knobs. rails are maybe not as good as other premium brands. Is this a saw I would recommend? Yes. Power and cut quality on the good piece is where it shines. Most other features are average. Other premium units may have a slight edge in the features department but for a track saw this makes the cut.

would a readout of the battery percentage be possible?
