Ebay @BruceG24....great deals on 2pack 5ah...usually 80-90$
-
@The.Handyman...ya I’ve seen that with a company I run , he was in with “a company “ testing tools.".......I just don’t know how to change things. I’m not a “sheep” kinda guy, A follower..., more a get things done, learn from mistakes, press forward,move on....being a supervisor I’m always thinking days,weeks,months,years out on projects, ...staying ahead of the game. That’s where I’m coming from, I want Dewalt to succeed at helping us out in our business. There are plenty of companies for diy guys....we need more high end contractor grade tools.....it’s great been progress in a short time...I appreciate it. Just hoping I could do more.....
-
@JRS5565...I’d say so the 9ah fit in my Tstak drawer
-
I appreciate your input @The.Handyman..with Dewalt...I just think if more Framers, builders,guys running construction companies,buying thousands of dollars of tools had more say , things could be different....truly believe that. Most of the people I see at these events aren’t even in the business or just have a YouTube channel.....I write dozens of emails to Dewalt, hoping for change. Marketing and pencil pushers are missing out..what do I know, we do millions in jobs they do billions......

Gotta do what’s right for USA...we have the right guy in office. I do wish everyone could get tools at a fair price. ...nothing better then the 577 not even close...cut depth ? Never understood this stuff...dimensional lumber is 1.5 or 3.5..I joist are 2.5or 3.5....
-
Wierd....I have a bunch of 20v 6ah batteries, but all my chargers are yellow fast chargers, I sold all the rest.......I know I’ve messsed up batteries completely draining them over and over...I don’t do it anymore, at 1 bar I change them out....
-
Got that right @Jronman.....I’d LOVE to be an insider... im part of “Tool talk” with Dewalt but nothing great...if I was an insider I’d definitely be able to help Dewalt out.......example...send the 20v lawnmower kit with 2 Flexvolt 6ah/2ah batteries instead of 2/5ah ...much better runtime (I know I own it) and it gives people 2 batteries to buy into Flexvolt tools, ...
-
@Bremon....trust me there is no issue cutting..straight..bevels..ripping...or weight...again this is a serious saw,made for serious use, designed for framing everyday....Coming from a guy who hates left blade saws. .i use the makita rear handle everyday and this 577...really is no competition...the 577 is unmatched in any category. I would say it’s strength is power and straight long cuts, I seek it out to cut rafters and stair stringers....the rest of the time the 575 is in my hands...love that saw... I will buy and try the new Milwaukee when it’s out , just to see the hype... i use diablo tracking point blades only..best damn blades for cordless saws,thanks to you...
-
Ya I’m loading up on 12ah..I have too many 9ah...wish it was. 12ah deal....
-
That saw should be used with a minimum 5ah battery. And use thin kerf blades like the diablo tracking point or Flexvolt blades...
-
Saw those at the last year show...or soon after ...look interesting
-
That saw 570 is fine for diy or cross cuts, the 575 is equal to the Makita rear handle and is all anyone needs it will rip no problem....if your a framer or ripping a lot of ply or lvl...577 can't be beat by anything....
-
Bosch cases ,with Bosch or Milwaukee impact bits Diablo circ saw blades DeWalt xr sawzall for pt...and Diablo for demo...
-
That would be awesome . .. .
-
That's a good deal, Amazon and acme run a 2/199$ 9ah deal at holidays...I don't even have old dead batteries ....
-
That's weird. ... gotta be a quality control issue with DeWalt..or maybe the earlier ones were good and quality went down..after that...
-
@rcarnes911...I use paslode ace full head 2 3/8” ring shank every weekend when doing pt decks through 5/4 x 6 pt decking, those fire great ...you had a problem ? “Talk to me ,goose”...
-
Same as bremon, they work well
-
Never understand guys with problems with the 692, I have 3, no problems, sinks 3 1!2 paslode full head into pressure treated lumber every weekend, thousands of nails, a couple jambs over the years but awesome...and the2 3/8" paslode nails I've never jambed literally thousands every year...no service center ever...no new parts....rain, snow,heat,mud......sucks if it happens to some guys but ,no problems here...I'd love a gen 3 though... I don't like the metal connector (hanger gun) way too bulky...
-
It was packaged well,no damages, ...
-
I have the m12 inflater, this looks much larger. I have the Dewalt jumper/inflater which is heavy but works great......still have my two Ryobi inflaters which work great
-
Not for us, can’t wait for a recharge....gotta be battery
-
Agree...Flexvolt changed everything...every manufacturer had to do something to compete. ....For tools, for construction /framing, the 575 and especially the 577...made cordless tools actually better then corded counterparts...it’s a dream to use the 575 and 577, all day everyday with no cords. ...waited 30yrs for this.. and now with the 12ah it may last all day....
-
Cut quality is as good as the ego..mowed everything no problem. Avg length grass , I mow every week, or twice a week. I used two 9ah and it did a half acre with 1 bar left. ....good quality....
-
Just bought a couple 2 packs of 6ah batteries at HD tonight. Almost the same weight...the 4ah is 1.95 lbs and the 6ah is 2.07 lbs...
