I just refinanced mine, so I've technically got 30. I built an amortization table, though, and if I can keep making the payments I've been making it'll be closer to 17 years. By that time I'll either have every tool known to man or the technology will change and I'll have to start over. 😄
By then it'll be robots doing it while we're collecting social handouts and visiting food-banks!

Thanks for the feedback.
I've gotta say, every Dewalt tool I've bought since getting into the line-up earlier this year I have absolutely loved. Sounds like this one won't disappoint either.
After I unwrap this thing on Christmas morning I will be mowing the lawn just to try it out. Now if I could just find a Santa suit to wear
Mowing the lawn? In December? Are you mad? It's bloody freezing!

Welcome to the Red side, we have cookies!
That said, I have Red, Yellow, Blue and a few Ryobi (whatever colour that is?).

Well, I gotta agree with Narwal, using a heated hoodie with an extra layer on top is definitely the way to go. I've been using mine for the past week and it's really working well, cold hands, but warm body!
I've also taken note of Jeremys point and I'm being careful not to stress the cabling.
If you can put up with the bulk of a 6 Amp pack it'll run all day on high!
Loving it!

Indeed, can't wait to give it a proper shoeing!

Finally got the chance to have a quick go with this today, great piece of kit! With a chisel tip it breaks concrete with little effort. The dampening is superb, with ear protection you could easily use this all day.
I then had a go with a 1" bit, this was so easy it was ridiculous! It just tore through the concrete! It was only a basic bit, single blade, not a fancy cross tip bit, but still made light work of it!

Apparently Hitachi have sold their tool manufacturing arm, new company will be Hikoki.
Does this matter?

Wasn't that cold today, but tried it nonetheless, not too bad. On high it chomps through the 2 Amp pack in three hours just as the paperwork claims. On medium it should be good for four hours and on low a full eight hours.
The temp on high wasn't bad, but would definitely improve if a coat was worn over the top, as previously suggested. I'll try that as the temps drop.
I'll come back as I get more use and experience with it.

Charging cells above 1C does shorten life. For example; a 2 Amp pack should ideally only be charged at a maximum of 2 Amps, that's 1C. Thrusting 4 Amps into it (that's 2C) is going to shorten its overall life.
Same applies to all battery sizes. Make sense?

Wearing my hoodie right now, not masses of heat, but should be enough to keep the blood warm. I'll keep updating as the weather turns colder.

My heated hoodie arrived today, I hope it keeps the chill off.

A 12" blade will add considerable load to the entire drivetrain, especially the electrical part, over a 9" blade. To be able to cope the speed will definitely need to be slower. The load (Amps) will jump a lot with that larger blade, but I'm sure the DeWalt engineers will work out what works.
I'll stop talking now because I've never used one of these cutters which means I've little more to add.

Just ordered a heated hoodie, thoughts once I've tried it. Gone for this so that it can be used under a coat, this is following earlier advice.
Cheers!

Just watched it again, great fun.
Now, are you sure about the DeWalt not having anti-kick? My 323 has it. I don't think any sds unit actually needs it, they all have slipper clutches.
Kudos to Hilti, beautiful machines, but they should be at that price! Not used one yet, but one day I will.
Shame you didn't use a Milwaukee 18 or 28 Volt, they're incredibly comfortable to use, definitely on a par with the mighty Bosch!
Talking of the Bosch, I have that same sds plus and the matching combi drill, they are by far the best cordless drills I've ever owned, just so nice to use!
Now I wanna go drill stuff! Just for giggles!

Great vid, guys, top job.
However, one of you can't drill a straight hole!

Sorry Tug, I must have mixed myself up, as I've been doing the big comparison (coming out tonight).
Yeah it's big, identical to the 5kg sds-max electric unit.
No worries, not the sort of machine that desperately needs one, would've been a nice touch to have fitted one though.
Just need to find something that needs breaking now.

I take it you guys pay for the sleepers and clean up your mess when you're done? You'll have to shoot a "behind the scenes" vid soon!

@Tug how many rotary hammers do you have now.
Four, not including the little Ryobi because it's garbage. Each has its own characteristics and qualities that it brings to the table.

I'm using the Milwaukee heated hoodie, definitely a good choice to use with a second layer over the top to hold the heat in.
