I think he's confusing series and parallel, you're either one or the other with 2 batteries, would need 4 for both.
So I spent a few hours with this bad boy today chipping stucco and drilling tapcons for a replacement hurricane sliding glass door. I no longer need validation for this tool to prove it's self, it drills and chips like a champion and it does it so effortlessly and ergonomically (the AVT on this SDS is the best I've ever experienced on any tool). I've not yet used it to drill any large diameter holes but I have a feeling it'll be more than sufficient. Everyone that I've let use it can't believe how sweet it is. It cooks with thermite.
I think over the next few months it's going to make a run at dethroning some of my favorite tools ever. Hopefully the HEPA attachment is released soon.
Nice! I have a dch293 here in Australia, a buddy sent one over from the US for me. I thought it was a better choice over the 54v sds plus we get in Australia. The dch293 is definitely the quickest 20v max/18v rotary on the market at the moment. It's doesn't get know near as hot as the 2715.

never said not quality tools,,or that they don't have the most cordless tools...I said Dewalt and Milwaukee are better.....oh we will see if the rear handle circ is equal to the flex....it should be it's 36v at 12ah(2/6ah) and it does look impressive....again
36v at 12ah
It's 36v at 6ah with 2/6ah batteries

Yea Fuel SDS's seem to just about always flush the competition for a whole generation. The kicker is runtime...and Dewalt is being mindful of that because of the dust extraction piggy backing the battery, which actually makes a lot of sense. Fuel doesn't have that and for working in finished spaces that you don't want to completely douche, it's a deal maker. If you took the Fuel and popped a piggy back system on it with the output it has, you'd likely get only half as many holes per amp hour as Dewalt can accomplish.
It's valid statistics but unfair comparison if you're in the market for the dust extraction.
You know the makita x2 rotary smokes the 2715 and the makita is only rated at 3 joules on paper. Milwaukee always blow the ratings out on paper out. Another example is the new fuel metal circ saw, the box states fastest on the market, however the makita bl metal can cut quicker. I reckon the dch293 will easily outperform the 2715. Biggest problem with the 2715 it gets hot very quickly and the batteries go into thermal overload, even the 9.0's

I just placed my order and I can't wait to test this baby out since there's practically no information out there about it yet, it's just gone on sale outside of preorder. Anyone else jump in yet or am I first?
Delivers between May 4th and the 8th.
In Australia we got a 54v version of this 20v max rotary. US didn't get a 54v sds plus ?

I could be wrong. Tho as far as I remember is was a cordless version of upcoming ls1019 ( with kapex style glide system)
You have a link to any picture ? I only saw a 3d render of the 9inch grinder in the PowerPoint I got shown yesterday
I'm still waiting to get sent the photos. Ive heard it from a few reps, photos have been getting around makita worldwide and sample units aren't far away

Thanks Makita_2233 for great info! Hopefully these new battery packs will be compatible with recent line of X2 tools which were not designed to accept wider than existing packs. Vertically oriented cells sound like a clever way to get around this problem!
From what I heard the compact 3ah won't fit x2 tools

Wow thats a lot of tempting new tools! Makita strikes back! :-)
Ive been wondering if Makita is going to introduce new high-draw cells for their packs just like Metabo did with their LiHDs or Bosch with Eneracer. Kornomaniac, you must be the only person who can cast some light on this do you have any clue?
A compact 3ah with 20700 is in development. Something similar with a 9ah too, possibility vertical mounted cells to keep pack the same length across as current packs or they ain't fitting x2 tools

X2 cordless 10 inch mitre saw confirmed. And I believe it works like the kapex. The bars stay still and the head moves over the bar.
So it won't stick out in the back
Corded 10 and 12 inch versions of these mitre saws also coming btw
From information I got it was a 305mm bl x2 mitre ? Photos are already floating around of the 7 and 9 bl x2 grinders

That's good to hear. Oscillation is a deciding factor for me because rooms with limited ventilation can quickly become a roasting oven. Unfortunately, this upcoming Dewalt fan doesn't seem to have one.
It's oscillation is 45 degrees. 3 speed and 3 timer setting. I actually had it set up on my bedside table in summer. It was a tad noisey on low as the motor made a whine sound. Need to put it on speed to to drown the motor whine sound out.

Makita DCF300. I have yet to see it in person though.
I have one and it's unreal. Best cordless fan on the market. Only thing I don't like is the run times isn't the greatest

The 9.0/3.0's came out today. My local store and rep told me June for the 12" mitre - the plunge saw was going to be October.
My flexvolt rep told me aug for 12". Plunge is available now but back line order so 7 days same goes for the 9ah. No one has the 9ah in store yet

Definitely wouldn't want to pushing the lock button while it's still spinning, I seen heaps of grinders break from doing that. Chunking metal sounds are never good. It's easy enough to get Thur nut off by hand.
Definitely wouldn't want to be grinding so close to cars like at the start of the video either, you'll get little burn marks in the paint, it will cause rust spots. What are they thinking ?

18x2 brushless 9 and 7 inch grinders are coming this year

I just found the original thread I posted about this in
Interesting it's a charger, what did it look like ?
The sub compact kit I picked up in the US had the below information on the side sync lock controller
-
7 hours ago, Tool Lover 69 said:
I first heard about this at a Makita Expo in June last year. At that we were shown pictures of a new charger that would work on existing batteries to basically turn them on and off at certain times. Surprised it still hasn't been released, and clearly not made just for the US.
Apparently the technology is already in star makita batteries

Word from a makita Australia R&D rep was that it wasn't coming to Australia any time soon

Very interesting find. Never heard of this before
It's been developed for the US market. It's called sync lock and need adapter to put on the battery. The sync lock information is on the side of the new sub compact stuff being sold in the US. I spoken with a USA makita rep recently while I was in the US and the adapter isn't out yet. I've asked my local makita Australia rep and was told it's unlikely come to Australia

I've heard rumors of this in the RIDGID branding, they've been going crazy with their tools, too bad you boys down under pay an arm and a dick for tools
Sent from my iPad using TapatalkYes we do but the Australian minimum wages is higher then the US, as some one previously said. I noticed a fair few tools in HD that cost more then in Australia.
Milwaukee 9ah $169-$199 USD, Australia $185AUD
Makita blower i think was $69USD in HD, its $71aud here. Same for the stick vacs, cost more in HD.
There was a few other things but can't think of them at the moment.
I picked up an oil impulse drive from tool nut and it ended up cost $280aud. They costs $570aud in the tool shops here.

Td 148
Td 154
Td 170
There's the xtd 14 or something like that that's a washed down 170
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI didn't see any 148 left in any HDs while I was in the US and I went into about 12 stores. The 154 replaced the 148. People in Australia are still searching for old stock of 148's. I was in a tool shop in Sydney around mid January and some guy came in asking for the makita made in Japan impact and my mate who works in the shop goes yep got one left 148 in stock. He told me after heaps of people have been looking for them. I look over and see about 8 170's sitting on the shelf and Im like you could be selling them, they are made in Japan. He goes I didn't think of that
The new mitre saws ( corded and cordless ) had real pictures of em so they cant be off long
