California Air Tools has the quietest compressors commonly available.

I use FV daily, since they were introduced.
A small FV battery makes the 20v circular saw a different tool. It’s definitely worth the trade off in weight, since the saw is way underpowered with any 20v battery.
The FV circular saw is a beast, but I rarely need it- very little framing.
An FV battery helps the 20v miter saw. I use the 9AH battery on it and it lasts a long time. I don’t do crown, so I don’t need the FV mitersaw.
The dust collector works great when doing MDF trim on the MS. I strap the remote on the saw and hitting the button before a cut soon became unconscious. It also works well as a vacuum and the airlock connection works great with either of the 20v sanders.
FV blower is great.ii run it while grinding out a coping cut on the MDF trim. Heavy, but it blows well enough to blow Wet leaves out of gutters.

I haven't heard the best things about Ryobi 2 cycle gas tools. I had some of their string trimmers a long time ago and they were kinda crappy.
That’s the reason I will never own Ryobi anything.

If you don’t have to cut tight corners, you might try a “Sabre” blade. An inch wide, it tends not deflect much.

Integrated material supports that can slide out a foot or so. (For pieces that are too short to catch your stand supports and too long to keep from tipping or not being perfectly flat.
You could always hold it down with your purse.

Two passes for the win.
How wide does your dado need to be?

The place where I get mine uses a squirt bottle of water.
I don’t know if they do that on their kiln dried wood, Since they offer that service now.
Either way, a little bit of water won’t hurt.

You can put blue tape where you want to make the cut.
You can cut face side down, preferably if you put some zero clearance tape from Fastcap on the saw.
You can also score the board first- make a shallow cut all the way across the face before bringing the blade down.
Not real familiar with adjusting the light.

There’s a guy who’s missing the point. Sure, changing batteries too often is inconvenient but an impact driver with even a 3Ah battery just goes and goes and goes. I’m actually planning to get a pair of 3Ah batteries at some point for this specific reason, even while they are the exact same size as the 5Ah.
I like the 5AH over the 4 because they are the same size. I no longer have any 3 Ah.
I have a 2Ah Dewalt slim pack I use on an impact for drywall screws. At most, I’ll send a couple hundred screws.
The slim pack worked good on the nail gun the other day when I had to send 70 2” ring shank nails on a Hardie siding repair job. Noticeably lighter.

....you must be part of the vcg gang...Milwaukee is a joke for framing...you should be using All impact wrenches...
LOL!
Does VCG actually build anything?

My Flexvolt blower shocks me.
I think it only does it with one specific battery and if I have my trigger finger very close to the base. Intermittently.
It’s enough to be uncomfortable, but not enough to make me do anything except mention it in here.

Can anyone recommend a good deep cutting regular circular saw that would work well with an improvised straight edge guide system (maple board and clamps)?
Just saw this part.
Ditch the straight edge system and clamp a level on the wood and Rent a beam saw.

I made and used “shooter boards” for a little while before I took the plunge ([emoji2]) on a tracksaw.
Easily found on YouTube. I used shelf hardware and made sure they were straight when I assembled them using a straight edge(level).
Might work fine for an occasional use tool.

And you are kidding yourself if you think guys don’t use 12.0 on impacts and drills. The most common answer I get when I ask them why, is “I don’t have to charge for days”.

Stupid people will always play stupid games.
Much easier to change a battery once a day than to lug around a 10 pound tool. Those people should try corded tools- you never have to change a battery.

Why would I or anyone use a 12.0 on a drill or impact?... Not a chance, use the correct battery on the proper tool for the proper application.

Duh, Popeye would use a car battery on a drill.

Plenty of room for cordless.
Dewalt framers are fast enough for most framing tasks. Deck framing, remodeling, Fence boards, roof sheeting, siding, fascia boards and trim.
You can shoot 2” siding nails as fast as you are accurate. Granted, 3” nails are slightly slower. You do have to reload more often, as the gun only fits one rack of nails (21*).
If your specialty is lots of wall framing or modular building using slave labor, pneumatic guns are the way to go.
For most everyone else, cordless framers are fast enough. No rolling out, no rolling up, and no hose getting tangled while you are rolling trusses.
For trim guns, speed is a non-issue.
For many, many (most) contractors, there is a lot more time to be saved through organization or processes than through waiting a cumulative 2 minutes per day for a gun to spool up.
It’s like complaining about waiting half a second between nails, but then having to make a “quick trip” to the hardware store to the tune of 30 minutes. Or even waiting two minutes for a porta-john while someone is in there. Or five minutes when somebody has to reset a breaker.
Digging through a pile of tools and materials in the back of the truck or trailer for five minutes?
That stuff happens every day, wasting more time than a cordless gun ever could.
Prior to pneumatic, it was 100% hand banging.
Pneumatic makes up a large percentage of nails being driven today because it’s more efficient than hand banging.
It doesn’t make up a large percentage of nails driven today because it’s more efficient than cordless, only because it precedes it.

I’ll do the same thing occasionally.
For me, I’ll take the tool inside and set it by the fireplace for a couple of days.
It’s worked for a nine amp hour flex volt battery(phew!) And a flashlight.

Many drones can automatically land if the battery drops below a certain threshold.
They all do.

Attachment to many of the cordless tools use quick connectors now. The cordless sander, flexvolt miter saw, tracksaw... tools used inside that a bag would not collect dust well enough. So the portable vac is useful and a more secure connection is desirable.
20v mitre saw as well

1. No Difference at all in run time. Batteries are charged or not charged.
2. Yes, It’s arguably better to charge them on a slower charger. Less heat builds up.
3. Depends how cold it is. They have to warm up to take a charge if it’s severely cold. Also, they have to cool down to take a charge if it’s too hot.
I work by myself, entirely cordless. I don’t even carry a charger to work. It works best for me to charge everything at home and I have plenty of batteries to last a few days if needed.

So having the same connectors on batteries across all brands, does not seem to be a benefiting the user in your opinion?
Not at all.
The cordless platform I use has every tool I need. I have Maybe 40 tools? Using One platform is very convenient and efficient, even more so for the professional.
I use them because they’re reliable and the price is reasonable.
For me, reliability beats price every day of the week.
I’m afraid universal batteries and connectors would level the playing field, to the advantage of no one.
- it would make entry level tools more expensive for the DIY crowd.
- It would make professional tools slave to the universal technology, with no advantage for technological advance.
Why should the industry leaders dumb down their tools and technology to the lowest common denominator?
Why would they R & D new technology when bottlenecked by constraints of universality?
Why should homeowners pay the subsidies for technology when they are happy with a $25 cordless tool to sink a couple of screws?
Not seeing any advantage whatsoever.
- the complaint of manufacturers switching battery types and technology and not supporting old platforms sorts itself out- heavily invested tool consumers switch platforms, never to go back.

At this point it's clear that batteries have to be standardised. Same battery for all cordless tools. Governments need to step in and force them to abide to a standard.
I don’t think it’s clear to anyone else.
Why would the govt need to overreach?
