Ask them to quantify it.
Any idiot can say go faster.

A corded version is preferred; an 18 or 20 volt battery is simply too heavy for constant use.

woo hoo flexvolt represent.
It may be big but it doesn't have as much vibration as the brushless 20v so I am told.
Confirmed.
I like the flexvolt because it is heavy/has less vibration.
I bought the brushless compact because the trigger quit working on the flexvolt.
Now I remember how badly the lighter saw vibrates your teeth.

IDK if that battery is compatible with the 18 V charger, but without a charger, it is worthless.

^^^^
I hope not. The 20 V gun is heavy enough.
The bigger battery on those, the better. 5 AM, 6 AM, or flexvolt.

I can't stomach a 20 minute video.
Did they drill concrete or just wood?

That makes more sense, thanks.

You may want to look up ContractorTalk. I access it from Tapatalk.
More recently self employed, I have learned a ton about pricing, contracts, and the trade from CT. Invaluable resource.

Good for you. Nobody else will do it for you.
What trade are you in?

How does insurance work for this sort of thing? The fact that you didn’t lock things up may get in your way, but I would have thought you could get a substantial amount of coverage for stuff like that.
Big deductibles discourage filing a claim.

If you don't have time, you should have money.
If you don't have money, you should have time.
If you don't have either,
should you think about raising your rates?

That’s all I want ,,Dewalt 20v sanders, routers, ....can’t get into another line...so I’ll wait and use my Ridgid cordless ones....previously Ryobi which are still great.....thanks for the photos
Was it on here that I saw a 20v Dewalt drywall cutout tool coupled with a DW611(?) router base?

Yeah, IDK why Fastenmaster went with a corded drill on this setup.
Cordless would be ideal.

3 reasons I don't have the FV table saw:
1. It won't take a dado blade. My corded table saw does.
2. Occasional use- only needed for very precise rips- rips for framing and fencing can be done with the circular saw.
3. The track saw is more versatile. It can rip anything a table saw can, as well as things it can't- doors, for example.

If money is no issue, get both!
I use my circular saw nearly every day. I rarely use my TS, and don't even keep it in the van since I got the track saw. I do home repairs.
My saws, in order of most use:
1 Circular saw
2 Oscillating tool (finishes circular saw cuts)
3 reciprocating saw
4 tracksaw
5 jigsaw
6 tablesaw
7 corded skilsaw
I would recommend getting the first two saws as well as an impact and drill set first.
You really can't go wrong with the Dewalt 20 or 60v platform. That's what I use for a living. If I didn't already have multiples of the tools, I would start with the toughsystem/tool bundle.

Agreed. Just don't ask my wife about the time I let my 5 year old try using and then loading the palm nailer.
He gave it a double and literal meaning.
Wife not impressed.

Yes and no.
Lowe's seems to have fewer tools overall.
But Lowe's seems to have more SDS Max bits and accessories, which presumably are purchased primarily by contractors.
I do like the fact that HD has reserved parking for trailers and illiterates, (You'll get it soon) while Lowe's doesn't.
HD does seem easier to shop at. Another reason I slightly prefer them is their ability to email me a receipt for record keeping.

FV batteries make a HUGE difference on some tools, like the 20v circular saw and miter saw.
They make a noticeable difference in the big leaf blower.
Strangely enough, I didn't notice a difference with my SDS drill. I can't recall a huge difference when I put one on my dcf899.

Spent yesterday organizing and adding shelfs and storage to the tool trailer, it's got alot more to be done but much more useful now.
IDK if you are on ContractorTalk, but if you're not you need to be.
Search up trailers/organization.Tons of ideas in those threads.I have used a lot of the ideas in my van. I have more tools organized in my van than most contractors around here have piled on the floor of their 7x14 enclosed.

Worth it for me.
I don't use the serrated side, but I hit the flat side of it with a hammer to sink nails hidden behind lap siding. I set sawed off screws with it the other day so I could run my portable planer over a twisted PT post.
It's useful enough to merit a spot in my nailbags, and I don't carry much.
It doesn't hold much of an edge, because I abuse it I've sharpened it once in the last three years.
I think a cheaper chisel would be a mistake. The side strike is indestructible.
