    The corded belt sander they once rebranded as their own is often hailed as the worst tool Dewalt has ever made.


    Maybe cold feet?

  2. new product / Dewalt 20v DCS367 Max Compact Brushless Reciprocating Saw

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    Semi useful.

    Seems it would be great for cutting PVC or other lightweight stuff.

    I used it to snip nails behind corner boards on a house As I pried them off with a cats paw.

    Easy to use one-handed.

    Good tool to use to teach my kids to use power tools.

    No way I would buy the 12 V tool, no need for another platform.

    I do like the belt hook. For the same reason I like it on the atomic circular saw:

    The Small size of the tools with the hooks make it more convenient as I work on ladders and can’t hang onto a tool without a hook.

    a lot of service centers have closed down
    example:
    Florida only has one center left open in Orlando !
    wonder what the future policy will be on service repairs
     
    I'm very dissapointed about this move !
    a step in the very wrong direction !!



    Mine in Portland Oregon was one of the busiest in the nation.

    It shut down last month.

    Now everything has to be mailed to Utah.

  6. Dewalt 20v/60v circular saws

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    I need the answer to this as well. There must be a way to adjust the base plate so it’s running parallel to the blade and adjusted to the cut markings/measurements on the front of the shoe



    IDK if there is an adjustment other than shimming or bending the bracket. (20v)

    I have one that doesn’t cut quite true, so it is a dedicated demo saw for me.

    My tried and true saw gave up the smoke, so they replaced it. It seems to cut true.

    One answer may be to sell (or donate or toss) the old saw and buy a new one.

    People looking to buy used tools for less than $100 aren’t generally that picky or astute.

  7. Is Dewalt D28715 the same as the Older DW871?

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    Old tech is old, regardless of original price.

    A large screen TV of yesteryear may have cost $2000.

    Now, with better technology, the same size can be had for $800.

    Why would I buy your barely used TV for $1000 when I can buy better for less?

    Most people looking for used tools are looking for deals. Price as you see fit and don’t argue with cheapskates.

  10. All about wood, show off them grains!

    in Woodworking

    Posted

    Wood has been one of the most durable material for furniture, Home decor etc.. Having a wood flooring Sacramento is becoming elegant, desirable, durable, easy to clean and maintain. These hardwood floors come in a variety of brands and designs say, plank flooring, grey wood floor, that enhance the look of the home. They are protected with the coat of wood polish, that don't even let the stain stays for a long time. Toddlers have a habit of drawing with a paint brush on the floors, these wood flooring's are coated with the satin polish, which does not let the mark stay there for long, and you can remove it just by moving a mop over from the surface.



    I wonder if a mod could clean up the spam that fell in the nice thread about wood. And this reference to it.

  15. Flexvolt VS Ego

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    I have the FV reciprocating saw, blower and a 20v chainsaw. I use the platform professionally.

    I also have the Ego chainsaw. My only Ego tool. I think it’s a small battery. It lasts less than 15 minutes of intermittent cutting. Not impressed.

    For power hungry tools, get whatever you have the most batteries for. With over 200 amp hours (at 20v), I could run my Dewalt chainsaw all day long.

    Tstak roller for everyday tools.- circ saw, recip, oscillating tool, drill, impact, etc. 20v cordless.

    Tstak organizers for fasteners stay in the van.

    Small Tstaks for each cordless nail gun and its bullets.

    A few Tstak drawers for hand tools, occasional use cordless tools.

    4 Tstak totes for “junk drawers” and for bringing in items to a customers house.

    All Tstaks, except the roller, are housed in wooden shelves in the back of a 12’ box van.

    Nailguns or sds drill get stacked on top of the roller and rolled to whatever part of the house I am working on.

  24. DeWALT DCS571 circ. saw / DeWalt ATOMIC

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    It worked all right repairing subkloor/underlayment in a bathroom yesterday. I hooked it up to a dust extractor to control the sawdust.

    I think it would also be handy for tile guys. With a concrete cutting blade, You could cut wonder board as well as tile. The dust collection would be very nice.

  25. Cases for framing guns

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    I just bought the 21 deg air framing gun.  It came from HD with no case.
     
    Does anyone know if Dewalt makes or ever made cases for this gun?  And if so, does anyone know where you could buy one?  (I have the same question for a coiled siding nailer).
     
    Thanks
     



    Look on eBay for a box for your siding gun.


    Bostitch box may work. If I’m not mistaken the Dewalt is a rebranded Bostitch.
