Adding an m class filter doesn't make it a legal m class vacuum. HSE would still not let you use it.
The DeWalt power bank thing is not coming to EU for legal reasons.
Do you know what the reasons are ?

Well that includes pretty much every Home Depot I have been in they have no skus in the garden side
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah Home Depot does suck for Makita ope, I’ve been into a fair few depots on my travels around the US. Here in a Australia Makita ope is everywhere. I have about 20 big tool shop within an 1 hour radius of where I live

Makita also just released a compact version of their die grinder. I DO want a Makita product more directly akin to a Dremel, and would have preferred something more along the lines of what Milwaukee has in their M12 line, but this would have some advantages too staying compatible with my current battery platform.
It’s a short nose die grinder. It’s been out for a few years now. They are bring a brushless die grinder out this year, probably only a long nose version

I was only able to drill 14 dia100@120mm
You’d be better off with a sds plus drilling a 14 dia bit, like the Dewalt dch 273, 284 or 333. Higher rpm and bpm, they will drill quicker and get more holes per charge then the sds max units. The sds max units have higher impact joules but lower rpm and bpm, good for large dia bits and chilling

@Framer joeeWalt has a few great tools in the flexvolt lineup like the grinder or the saws but other flexvolt tools ( recip, plunge saw, the current SDS Max ) are nothing special and get beaten by other tools ( like Makita 36v ) easily.
If only they did that test with the new Dewalt dch733 the outcome would of been different. I tried to take the dch733 over to the makita tent at woc but they wouldn’t allow it

Unless this one is broken or I'm doing something wrong, but I can confirm the die grinder does not have a lock on switch like the OMT.
You are correct, the die grinder doesn’t have a lock out switch. The rocker switch frees up after a bit of use

I did it was a great test. Worth noting that I never was able to confirm the differences between the DCH293 and the DCH333 outside of the 60v wiring.
I use mine all the time and it blows people away when they see me going at it with a cordless tool the way it does. I'd buy it again tomorrow if it failed.
The 333 gets a slightly longer run time vs the 293 from my testing. Both with 9/3.1ah FV batteries. I was drilling 24mm diameter holes and I got 1 1/2 holes with the 333. It’s runs more efficient with a higher voltage. Also like I’ve mentioned before the 333 have 30mm max capacity compared to the 293’s 28mm max capacity

Ya now I know ...I couldn’t. figure out that trigger...stepped hugh? Seemed weird thought it was my tool and hard to press fully....not liking it.....probably going back..
It’s a rocker style tigger on the die grinder

Well the thread is in reference to photos from that show, not what your rep told you today.
Okay so one of the photos is the Id sticker which references a 12” blade capacity and an rpm of 5000 which would be to slow for a 9” disc. I heard about this FV Cut-Off saw month ago and had a patent diagram. Both were a saying 12”. No one can even confirm if it is a 9” blade on the saw at the show. I know it looks like one, maybe it’s a very early prototype and wasn’t ready for a 12” blade

Have you not read the thread?
Yes I have. What about it ? I asked my flexvolt rep today and I was told it’s going to be a 12”

It's not a 12" saw.
So the spec sticker on the tool is wrong ?

You're completely glossing over what I'm saying.
They could have made a 9" flex volt grinder and sold a guard with a hozenlock type water feed attached, no problem. There's no need for the bulky body and handle to make it look like your perception of a concrete saw.
While it's got the water feed, why not make an attachment that is a complete cowl for dry plunge cutting or wall chasing? Grout removal? Vacuum attachments? For a cordless saw it would be nice to use cordless vacs. They'll have to offer a pressurised water vessel like Hilti and Stihl do otherwise you're still tethered to a mains water feed.
This is why I'm saying it's gimmicky. I'm sure the tool itself will perform brilliantly, they're just on a single track with it which I think is a shame.
Naturally I'm sure the core flexvolt users will buy it without question because that's what they do. Unquestionable brand devotion in most cases blind the buyer from seeing alternative possibilities of flaws. I'm guilty of it in cases too so I'm not pointing the finger.
I don’t see how it is gimmicky ?
Why make a 9” ? If I wanted to use a 9” I would. I work with steel, on the odd occasion Ive had to use a gas 12” Cut-Off saw for the longer reach vs a 9”. Mind you I could be working on a boom lift 12m in the air. The flexvolt would be perfect for my needs.

SDS max rotary hammers are not yet ready for batteries. And probably never will because of the large amount of torque they need.
Batteries can't even power the SDS plus ones.
I have the DHR243 and drilled two 18mm holes with a 3Ah battery. After the 1st hole the tool was struggling, and when it finished the 2nd hole, the battery was discharged.
Battery-powered rotary hammers are a joke compared to corded hammers. It's nice to be cordless, but not at the cost of having a useless tool. Same goes for angle-grinders, except those can be at least used to cut thin stuff, maybe even some _very_ light grinding.
People need to stop jumping in the cordless bandwagon just because of the hype, and without any thinking about the practical side.
I'd love to have all my tools cordless, but let's be honest, there's no battery technology that could make that feasible in the near future. Li-ion have serious limitations and they can not provide the large amount of power needed for 1000+ watt tools. Unless you build a battery with 10kg worth of cells, which is impractical. And all this with high drain cells, which die very fast compared to "normal" 500-cycle cells. That's probably why most tool batteries die so fast
Hahaha you again.
Your comment show last your knowledge. What are you talking about ? An sds max isn’t ready for batteries ?
I can run my dewalt 54v sds max all day no problem, drilling 1” hole x 180mm deep. I do have a fair batteries but, so that’s the limitation. I can run cordless grinders all day no problem

Just finished watching a review by "Tool Craze" on the M18 sds max, it managed 42.5 holes, 3.5 inches deep in concrete on one 9.0 Amp 18 Volt battery. Now, it'd be interesting to see how many holes the flexvolt can do on its 3.0 battery! Hint hint!
Still going Yellow on this purchase because it has "rotary only", Red doesn't. Three modes over two.
The dewalt will get more on a 9ah/3.1ah battery. High voltage more efficient and 20700 cells vs the Milwaukee 9.9 using 18650 cells

You guys crack me up. As far as I know this is not true. Whoever you spoke with would likely not be in the know anyway. Especially if it's this kind of news before.
Lowe's is however revamping their power tool displays. Maybe they won't keep them in store, doubtful. And Lowe's no longer has department managers so it's usually a cluster of things not getting done right.
At the DeWalt media event I spoke with managers about 12v. There was a huge interest in revamping the line. I'll see if I can't get some new info.
It's common basic tool knowledge that dewalt is revamping the 12v line. The wheels are already rolling on new 12v tools. Next year will see some

I would maybe like to take advantage of the free 6.0 battery but I can't seem to find any reviews online of the new dcg413. I know a few guys on here have them I was just wondering what your opinions are.
I got the lock on style switch 5". It's a strong grinder, quicker cuttung/grinding compared to the fuel and makita bl. The rpm is 5000, fuel, makita 8500rpm. The only negative with the new dewalt are ergonomics aren't the best.

The tools were there but not loaded with batteries and they were funny about me taking batteries off tools. I even got a funny look when I pulled a tape measure out of my pocket to measure up the mitre saw. I don't think they're comfortable at all with the speculation.
The gap is 2.5mm-3mm on current x2 tools. Spacing is bigger on the x2 grinders. New batteries are coming and they have been delayed. No information on what cells are being used

Yeah. They already pissed off users by not having backwards compatibility on their older tools with higher capacity batteries, as well as those tabs that stop users from using 1.5Ah batts on high-draw tools. AND they've never brought 2Ah slim batts to Australia and other places. Also one of the very last to put battery indicators on. Now this.
C'mon Makita, pick up your battery game!
I doubt they even care what people think. Privately owned company. Really the current x2 with standard gap are fine with double 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0. The x2 9" has the bigger spacing and need bigger celled batteries. X2 sds max will need the same

I will be visiting D&M Tool Show (London, UK) on Sat and were Makita will sell x2 Grinder and gonna check for the spacing in the batteries as Makita reps does not make any comment about any new stuff. Will take tape measure with me
The spacing is bigger on the x2 grinders and one of the new line trimmer. Could the new x2 power head tool. Spacing on the rear handle circ saw isn't

Is it about the size of his flexvolt battery pack or his ego?
Either way, I bet that's not all he likes to stroke.
Both I think lol
Hahaha
What will happen when Milwaukee bring their 21700 celled dual voltage packs next year, will they be better ? Who cares, every brand has good and bad

You've turned the thread into a dewalt fan boy thread. No one cares that you run 2 crews, 1 uses dewalt and the other makita. No one cares you do multi million jobs. No one cares you create wealth and support multiple families. What relevance does that have to the original post ?
People are sick of hearing about. What do you want a pat on the back or something ?
People contribute to this world daily like you do, but don't need to brag about it

50% more capacity + lower internal resistance = over 100% more runtime.
EDIT: Oh and DeWalt, we do want the 18V XR 6.0 battery EXTREMLY bad here in europe, at least i do. Pleease make it happen
Great post
I get more holes drilled on the dch293 20v max sds 28mm rotary with a 20v max XR 6.0 vs the FV 6.0
From memory I was getting 4 more diameter 18mm holes at 160mm deep vs the FV 6.0

There's an interesting relationship between current output (A), heat/resistance and runtime (Ah), and it's one that I don't think I'll ever fully understand. Battery cell chemistry, who could understand it!?
Looking at the XR 20v max 6.0 next to the FV 6ah you wouldn't think you would get longer run time. Like you said who would understand it haha. Another reason why they may hold off bring the 18v 6.0 here they don't want it competing with the FV 6.0
