I pulled the trigger on the black one, bare tool. Factor about $20 for the power port you are at $59 for the jacket. I have the new M12 which is slick with the 4 way stretch but I like the prospects of a "Carhartt" style as well.
Wondering if anyone else has purchased or tried this out? There is no display available for it at my local HD but for the price point and the features it is intriguing. What are the groups thought on how would it compare to the Dewalt/Makita cordless versions?
An old co-worker of mine works for a consulting company locally here and he worked on the one-key project as a software developer. He isn't into tools the way I'am but said the concepts were all really cool but couldn't say one-key features would be all that game changing for an avid homeowner which I found interesting.
For the purpose of hanging drywall and medium duty rapid fire fastening the DWC is amazing. Very balanced, compact, and has an awesome belt hook. I'll grab some photos this weekend.
Looks great. I have generally preferrred T-Staks and Systainers as when attached to a cart/dolly they are compact and you can configure your work area in an infinite number of ways. This may cause me to take a much closer look at the Tough System cases.
I ended up pulling the trigger on this kit a short time ago. I will say the tools are very compact and feel great in the hand. I'll probably end up selling the impact and the hammer drill as the drill has the same performance as the driver. The driver is larger than the PS22 from Bosch but it has a little more power and feels better in the hand. (Neither of those as Chris mentioned is enough to not keep the CXS as my favorite)
It is tough to argue with your logic Chris if you already have a T18. The other thing that I will say is that unless you buy the full kit (vs bare tool) it probably isn't worth it because the right angle chuck for it only works wth the PDC vs being interchangeable with other drills. That said I don't have an ounce of regret
I called CPO 2 days ago regarding a the circular saw kit I purchased and they indicated they were getting more inventory on 10/12. Might be worth calling if you haven't already.
Has anyone tried the Fuel miter with a dust collector? I would prefer the 10in in a cordless but the initial reviews seem to indicate dust goes everywhere with it's design.
