  1. Ebay @BruceG24....great deals on 2pack 5ah...usually 80-90$
  2. @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.....
  3. @JRS5565...I’d say so the 9ah fit in my Tstak drawer
  4. 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......
  5. 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....
  6. 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....
  7. 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, ...
  8. @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...
  9. Ya I’m loading up on 12ah..I have too many 9ah...wish it was. 12ah deal....
  10. That saw should be used with a minimum 5ah battery. And use thin kerf blades like the diablo tracking point or Flexvolt blades...
  11. Saw those at the last year show...or soon after ...look interesting
  12. 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....
  13. Bosch cases ,with Bosch or Milwaukee impact bits Diablo circ saw blades DeWalt xr sawzall for pt...and Diablo for demo...
  14. That would be awesome . .. .
  15. That's a good deal, Amazon and acme run a 2/199$ 9ah deal at holidays...I don't even have old dead batteries ....
  16. That's weird. ... gotta be a quality control issue with DeWalt..or maybe the earlier ones were good and quality went down..after that...
  17. @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”...
  18. Same as bremon, they work well
  19. 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...
  20. It was packaged well,no damages, ...
  21. 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
  22. Not for us, can’t wait for a recharge....gotta be battery
  23. 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....
  24. 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....
  25. 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...
