  1. The DCS361M1 is a good little saw. Used it for work for years. Battery powered is a real help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. No worries, like another poster, the nearest service center is a bit of a hike but I’ll take your word for it and make the trip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Is this legit? Tried searching around for info but I can’t seem to find even a whisper about the trade in offer. Was that flyer in a service center? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Register it on the dewalt website. I have been doing that to help keep track of purchase date and then I can go back and find the receipt on my HD account. Also as far as picking up anew battery goes, you would probably benefit the most from capitalizing on one of the flexvolt deals. That way down the road if you get one of those tools you already have a battery. HOME DEPOT Flexvolt 6/2 ah - $150 20v max 5 ah - $140 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I’m hoping to see a 10” cordless miter saw this time. Been ready to pull the trigger on it for over a year... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Definitely don’t let here touch any other tools lol. I too buy the Milwaukee bits over dewalt. Imo they last longer and fit better. To be fair, the dewalt bits aren’t bad, but they seem to wear out fairly quick once you get that one awkward fastener causing the bit to jump out. Also havent ever had a bit snap while working with wood, sometime a screw head snaps, but fastening through 1/4”-1/2” I-beams is where I’ll trash a dozen or so in a day.

  7. I recommend the 60v. If the price is that close, the extra few bucks will get you a lot more. I personally hate the trigger on the 20v and the 6” wheels will give you more bang for your money. You also get the benefit of having the larger batteries to use on your 20v tools. I’m currently framing the exterior of a building right now and with all the heavily gauge material I would go through 2-3 batteries a day. Switched over to my flexvolts and only need the 1. Big help to minimize things plugged into the generator so we can prioritize the grinders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I’ve been using my old pairs of pearlzumi winter mtb gloves. They are warm, water resistant, and fit well so I still have a good amount of hand dexterity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Been doing a ton of cutting with the chop saw and was wondering if anyone had found a use for the scrap wheels instead of throwing them out. In a single day I’ll have 9 or 10 scrap wheels that get tossed but there is still a good amount of meat on them (10”). Has anyone found a use for them on smaller grinders?

  10. I would think it is comparable. Says it has 2 subwoofers so hopefully it would be very similar just different features for different needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Looks like the base model slim packs. Would love to see it made in xr, would probably weight the same as the previous model 2.0 xr Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Starting to get cold up in New England and I’ll be working outside and on job sites well before heat is installed. Does anyone own one of the heated jackets and what are your thoughts? Considering one of these since I have more batteries than I need. Is the adapter and battery combo bulky in your pocket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I also agree with the above posts. It’s a great saw and you will be hard pressed to have an issue. Will kill the smaller flex batteries kinda quickly but not enough to be an issue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Tested it out a little. It actually starts at the set rpm and backs it off when it feels resistance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. If 1825 in-lbs isn’t enough then you should buy the impact wrench. Down tuning the drill is for people looking to fine tune their setting for the application it is being used for. Overclocking the drill is only going to shorten the life of the drill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Got my hands on the impact driver. Had a hard time finding info before pulling the trigger so I wanted to shed some light on the tool side of connect. Below is a longish video but the main points are fairly cool with a big seller at the end. The gist is you get to track heat buildup in the drill, battery life(works with non connect batteries in connect drill), disconnect when your out of range, customize 4 speed settings, and finally track your drills last location. I like the idea of this in case it gets stolen. Should that happen, you can send a ping from ANY individual with the app for your drill and if they are within 100’ +/- of you can get its location. There is also the “precision drive delay”. Don’t know what that means. The manual only says it helps with delicate fastening like door hinges and such to avoid stripping. Hope it is anything like makita’s auto functions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Kind of what I was thinking. Would be nice to have a saw blade attachment that hold a couple blades and slides into the slot so it is flush against the wall maximizing space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Has anyone been able to find dividers for the boxes? The have slots for them but can’t seem to find anything to use them for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I can’t speak for the performance of the 20v, but the flex with a 6” is an absolute beast. The grip is much more comfortable to use also. The battery does go sort of quick but it’s a 3/6 ah battery. Mostly bought it for the larger size stepping down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I think the double sided demo blade is more useful in the same way the breakaways are. Gets dull, just start cutting with the back side Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. That’s a nice collection of tools you have. Looks like you have all your bases covered but the DWV012 vacuum would be a great addition. Or get yourself the 895 impact. Been abusing mine for 4 years and it runs as great as the first day I bought it. Heads up though, those things still go for full retail despite being “obsolete”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. This problem has come up on a number of different tools of mine over the years like hilti's gx120 and Ramsey's trakfast and pasloads. One thing you can do to prevent this is not storing it loaded with pins and not leaving the feeder locked open for loading for extended periods. All my coworkers hold onto the same gun for work everyday and the guys that don't do those things always have problems when they get down to the last few pins. Saves you from a bit of frustration and wasting those few pins that many times just get discarded. That adds up quickly when you burn through 8k fasteners in a few months.
